Will Smith

Will Smith’s CrossFit story starts a little differently than most. He didn’t grow up playing sports and wasn’t the guy hanging around a weight room. When he first came across a barbell—or honestly anything involving weights—he felt intimidated and out of place.

But CrossFit flipped that script. The coaches and community welcomed him in long before he felt confident, and that made all the difference. Over time, they helped him not only get comfortable in the gym, but actually enjoy it. What started as just trying something new turned into something that genuinely changed his life for the better.

Before CrossFit, Will spent years dancing and doing some light running. He loved it, but he also knew he wasn’t really building strength or the kind of fitness that carries into everyday life. In 2023, after a major surgery left him immobile for several weeks, he found CrossFit while trying to rebuild his body. He fell in love with the sport quickly—both the challenge of the training and the people who came with it.

Through CrossFit, Will learned how incorporating strength, cardio, nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle led to a much richer version of fitness than he could have imagined. It taught him how to be well-rounded and truly fit for more than workouts—fit for a rich, capable life.

As a coach, Will hopes to be the kind of person he needed when he started. He wants to help others learn new things, make real friendships, and have a lot of fun while getting fitter along the way.
