Coaching Team
Coach Shane
CrossFit Affiliate Owner & Coach
As an Affiliate Owner & CrossFit Trainer with a background in professional sports, I have been coaching fitness for over 9 years. In early 2013 my wife Bo and I found CrossFit, by 2014 we had completed our CF-L1 Trainer credentials and started coaching CrossFit to friends from our garage at home. A few months later we opened Ghetto CrossFit and never looked back.
I believe that “movement-is-life” and I am blessed to wake up every day and spend time in a space where I am able to make genuine, long-lasting relationships with people, while helping them become better versions of themselves, both physically and mentally.
I currently hold a CF-L1 and CF-L2 Trainer credential. I have also completed CrossFit Gymnastics, CrossFit Weightlifting and CrossFit Aerobic Capacity Certifications.
My specialties include competitor coaching, gymnastics, weightlifting, aerobic capacity and sport specific training.
Coach Bo
CrossFit Affiliate Owner & Coach
I have been involved in the fitness industry since I was 16 years old, and opening a CrossFit Affiliate was the culmination of my pursuit to stay within the health & fitness industry for good.
I love that I get to spend every day helping humans become better! Seeing how people who think they are “average” achieve amazing things, both physically and mentally, fuels my passion for making a positive change in the world.
My experiences while working with people within CrossFit have given me the motivation to keep educating people so they can regain control over their health, and create balance in their lives. Seeing the confidence blossom in each person at the Ghetto CrossFit makes every early morning and late night worth it.
Coach Mickey
CrossFit Coach
I started my CrossFit journey in January 2018, where I was introduced to group classes. Surprisingly, within just a few weeks, my interest in coaching sparked, and after six months, I earned my CF-L1 Trainer credential. During that time, I devoted myself to shadowing and assisting at a local affiliate, learning as much as I could.
In September 2019, I became a part of the warm and welcoming Ghetto CrossFit family, taking on the role of a full-time CrossFit Trainer. My commitment to growth led me to complete the CrossFit Gymnastics Course early in 2020, and in 2021, I proudly obtained my CF-L2 Trainer credential.
My passion for CrossFit extends beyond my personal journey; I find tremendous fulfilment in helping others embark on their fitness paths. Guiding Ghetto CrossFit members towards their goals brings me immense joy, and I cherish the countless memorable moments etched into my mind from coaching them.
Coach Morne
CrossFit Coach
I currently hold a CrossFit L1 Trainer credential and have a lifelong passion for strength, fitness and training.
From 2016 to 2020 I competed in Strongman, pushing the limits of strength, and experiencing what my body was capable of (the human body is capable of so much more than we think!)
After an on-and-off stint at various traditional gyms, I discovered CrossFit and after just a year my love for fitness and this community inspired a desire to help others.
So, in 2024 I took the opportunity to complete my L1. Now, as a trainer, I am focused on changing people’s lives for the better, just as my coaches changed my life, guiding people toward their goals with passion and purpose.
Coach Louise
CrossFit Coach
My love for CrossFit began in 2020, and by 2023 I had developed such a passion for CrossFit that I made the decision to change career paths and become a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer.
I made the career change so that I could help others enhance their lives and hopefully fall in love with CrossFit, and the community as much as I have. I am passionate about helping every person who enters the doors, regardless of their fitness levels, and showing them that CrossFit is for EVERYONE. Seeing individuals reach their goals and overcome challenges on a daily basis is what keeps me motivated and my goal is to help them reach their full potential.
Coach Natasha
Nutrition Coach
With nearly 12 years of CrossFit experience (and a few local competitions under her belt, Tash knows her way around a barbell and a balanced plate. As a certified nutritionist for the past 7 years, she’s passionate about helping people fuel their bodies, feel their best, and create habits that actually stick.
She believes healthy eating should be satisfying, sustainable, and full of joy – because food isn’t just fuel, it’s one of life’s greatest pleasures.
When she’s not working one-on-one with clients or cheering them on at the gym, you’ll probably find her baking something delicious (yes, even nutritionists eat cake) or hanging out with her three fur babies: Duchess, Bella, and Baron.
If you’re looking for real talk, real support, and a nutrition plan that actually fits your life, Tash is here to help – one bite at a time.
