Nicolette started doing CrossFit consistently in 2020, when we were working out together over Zoom and outside with a makeshift rig. The sense of community is what drew her and her husband to CrossFit 611. After finding positive results in her nutrition, strength training and overall fitness, Nicolette became passionate to coach others as well. She finds the most joy in seeing new athletes discover skills and strengths they didn’t know they had.

Sean has led an active lifestyle his whole life. He played soccer competitively when he was younger. He currently serves in the Army with 19 years. He is not as young and spry as some of the junior members in his unit, and was looking for a way to keep up with them physically. He found CrossFit in 2018 and soon he could give them a run for their money. He became stronger, and fitter than he has ever been, and was finally able to carry all of the grocery bags in one trip. He fell in love with the methodology and decided to become a coach in June of 2023. Now he tries to extend his passion to CF611’s members and be a role model for his kids and the community.

Lydia started CrossFit in 2018 and never looked back. Since playing varsity volleyball in high school, she had yet to find an athletic outlet that really motivated her. She thrives on the friendly competition, skill development, and daily routine that CrossFit provides.

Jackie started coaching at CrossFit 611 in October of 2021. She started her CrossFit journey in late 2014, and although she was competitive in several sports that came naturally throughout childhood, CrossFit was hard…like really hard. This motivated her to continue to push herself (while chasing friends) and become the best version of herself she could be. Jackie became a coach because she hopes to share the knowledge that has been given to her, to others. She wants to see everyone become the best version of themselves, growing both physically and mentally.

Kasim became a trainer because he loves helping people advance and stay accountable with their fitness goals. Kasim’s past athletics include college football at East Carolina University as a walk-on, track and field at East Carolina University, multiple year and multisport letter winner in HS and an undefeated amateur MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu background.

Kelsey’s coaching experience is very different than most. She started her career in the health and fitness industry in late 2013 by following a non-traditional path. This path led her to work remotely for a small business in Colorado from 2013 to 2018 doing online programming and nutrition coaching.
Kelsey had an incredible experience coaching online and loved working with individuals across the country, however, she did miss the relationships that develop when you see someone on daily basis. She decided to incorporate in-person coaching again in February of 2018 and became a part of the incredible community at CrossFit 611. One of Kelsey’s favorite things is to see an athlete hit a goal and celebrate afterwards!
Kelsey’s passion for health, fitness, and recovery is evident in her own life. Kelsey believes if she can help just one person hit a fitness goal, master their nutrition, or avoid an injury by prioritizing recovery through massage therapy then she has done her job. Kelsey looks forward to seeing you at the gym!

Shawn has always found himself involved in sports and fitness. He enjoyed playing football, basketball, and his favorite; volleyball. While serving in the Air Force, he spent much of his time in the gym or on the courts.
In 2012, he was invited over to his neighbor’s to do a workout. Little did he know that this would be the beginning of a new endeavor. This workout was quick, dynamic, intense, and rewarding. From that day, CrossFit has been a staple in his fitness journey.
Shawn, his wife Becky, and his neighbors eventually decided they wanted to open up their own gym. This came to fruition in 2013 when they purchased East Cost CrossFit, now CrossFit 611. The mission: Faith, Family, Fitness and Fun!
The best part about owning a gym is being able to lay the groundwork for an accepting environment and being able to carry out our Christian Ministry just by the way we live our lives and interact with people.
Shawn’s favorite part of coaching is putting smiles on faces. It could be a funny joke, a new skill, or helping someone achieve something they didn’t think possible.
