Fitness has always been a part of Blake’s life. He has been weight training for 20+ years and was first introduced to the idea of functional fitness in 2009 while training Mixed Martial Arts. Blake opened his first CrossFit gym, Crossfit 513, which was one of the very first CrossFit gyms in Cincinnati. He has nearly a decade of experience in training clients ranging from professional athletes and figure competitors to dancers and the average Joe. Blake also has a specific passion for Olympic lifting and weight training because of the discipline it requires and the technicality of each lift.

 

Blake is always looking for ways to broaden his knowledge base in the field of health, nutrition, movement, and fitness. Along with developing a strong understanding of the human body and nutrition through personal experiences, he is persistently determined to learn more.

 

In addition to operating CFBA, Blake also works with a local rehabilitation facility to share the impact & importance of health & fitness with those in recovery. Outside of coaching Blake practices jiu jitsu, enjoys learning new things, and spends time outdoors & with his three kids.

I started CrossFit in January 2013 right out of college looking to make life changes with my only athletic experience being a mediocre high school athlete.

Two weeks into my CrossFit journey and I was completely hooked. I became obsessed with the methodology, the coaching & information, and the way I felt after each workout.

After earning my CFL1, WAG Nutrition Coach, and CFL2 certifications, I traded corporate life for the gym full-time in 2022. And it’s been the best decision of my life. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping people find confidence, health, and happiness through fitness and nutrition.

When I’m not coaching, managing, or running around CFBA, you’ll find me with my amazing husband, Blake, our three awesome kids, & our perfect dog, Rory—outside, eating great food, or hangin at home.

A CrossFit coach since 2018, I strongly believe that the work we put into the gym should directly enhance our lives and abilities outside of it. For me, that functional fitness fuels a passion for exploring, adventure, and travel. I love helping others build the strength, endurance, and confidence they need to take on their own real-world adventures.

I became a CrossFit coach in 2014 and never looked back. My dedication to strength training and representing women in the Strongman world has helped influence my own personal career and coaching style and greatly inspires how I approach CrossFit as a whole. It is my belief that if you can find a way to fight through a tough workout, you can find a way to fight through anything in life. I'm an RX MAT specialist, a CFL2 coach, a certified Strongman coach, as well as an Olympic lifting coach. I am dying to help you be your strongest self. I also have three daughters, an incredible husband, and consider myself an open book. Let's go lift, y'all.

Caleb has been coaching CrossFit since 2019 here at CrossFit Blue Ash. When he's not at the gym you can find him running, hiking, cycling, rock climbing, or coaching high school basketball. 

I've been coaching in the CrossFit/group fitness space since 2023, before that I was a high school volleyball and strength & conditioning coach. Ever since joining a CrossFit gym and being intentional about my nutrition I have witnessed every aspect of my life improve, and I love getting to be around other people on their own journey. Working out is one of my favorite hobbies. Outside of the gym I love good coffee, traveling, and spending time outside.  

Hi, I'm Dominic. I’m from West Chester and have done CrossFit for 11 years. I started coaching in college and this will be my 4th official year coaching CrossFit as a CFL1. I have a background in physical therapy and biology from Grand Canyon University and have recently moved back to Cincy to pursue my PTA. Fun things about me? I love old Toyotas, my van, making music, photography and videography, and CrossFit, of course.
