Meet Coach Carmi (he/him)! Here’s a little bit about him in his own words:

I am coach Carmi, I grew up in the middle of Iowa in a college-town called Ames. I started my coaching career at the local pool as a swim coach for the Red Cross and later a competitive swim school.

10 years ago I was running out of motivation to show up to my local gym and decided to try Crossfit. I was instantly hooked on the supportive and competitive community setting and have been doing it ever since.

I became a Crossfit coach because it fulfills me to lead others through a challenge. Health and fitness are a life long journey and I like when I can help people make significant progress.

When I look at a WOD I am hoping to see pistols and hand-stand walks because I put a lot of work in being able to do both. I enjoy the Crossfit Open because of the global competition, so many people doing the same workout.

Outside the gym you can find me outside with my wife, Orlie. We recently went to Carkeek park and saw chum salmon swimming up Pipers Creek, it was incredible.
