Anne
I am a wife, mom to two kids, two dogs and 4 cats, nurse, and exerciser.
I was introduced to Crossfit in 2009, after the birth of our second child. As a previous high school and collegiate athlete (tennis and soccer), I missed fitness and being a part of a team. I was looking for a community where I could show up, put in work, be better, and see measurable results. Little did I know, the day I walked through those doors, I found the community that would do just that!
I strive for excellence in my personal and professional life, like to have fun, challenge myself, and enjoy helping others on their journey of health, wellness, and fitness. After working in healthcare for more than 20 years, it’s clear nutrition, exercise, and community are some of the most important things you can do to live your best life now and as you age and navigate life’s challenges. I am excited to be a part of your journey!
In my spare time, you can find me learning new health related things, volunteering as part of our Jackson County Search and Rescue team, hiking, running, or participating in some sort of competition “just for fun”.

Beth
I have always enjoyed being active, and as a kid that was pretty easy. I played sports all of my childhood, volleyball, basketball & softball. As an adult that got a bit more difficult once you add kids, jobs & life etc.
I started CrossFit when CrossFit Steelhead opened in 2014, and I can’t imagine being anywhere else. I have found my closest friends in this community and have improved my health immensely. Which is why when the chance came up to buy this gym I bought it! There is so much to learn as an athlete of CrossFit and now as a coach I can help with some of that. I’m really looking forward to helping our gym community reach and even exceed their goals. Steelhead is my place and I enjoy welcoming, and helping new, & seasoned, members become better & stronger versions of themselves…mentally, emotionally & physically.

I have been a coach at Steelhead Fitness for 5 years, but my experience extends well beyond that. As a CrossFit coach, I enjoy using my experience and passion for working out to help clients reach their goals in a supportive environment. When I am not working out or coaching I love spending time with my son, family, and friends. I also love being outdoors; hiking, skiing, backpacking, the list goes on. A few other random things about me; I love growing house plants, traveling (Italy is my favorite so far), learning new things, and serving in the community.

Jon
I’m a husband, father of 5 and grandpa of 4. I’ve been a competitor since I was a kid and found a passion in strength sports. I found CrossFit in 2016 thinking I wouldn’t like it and here I am. I absolutely love the community plus the health benefits I’ve seen so many members take advantage of. My goal is to help middle aged people understand the importance of lifting weights and how it benefits their life. I would love to pass along my lifting knowledge and habits to improve everyday life for everyday people.

Kellie
I have worked out my entire adult life but never in sports. My husband started and would come home complaining about how sore he was and I would tell him to quit. And then I finally had the opportunity to try it and I fell in love. That was in late 2013. I did my first competition in 2014 and never knew how much I would love to compete. Give me a barbell and some weight and I am a happy girl. Since I love picking up heavy things and competing I am also a into powerlifting and strongman competitions.
I coach because I have had some great coaches over the years to learn and I am excited to share that knowledge with you. I love teaching newcomers and watching them grow. I love this gym and the family we have created.
