Meet Our Coaches

Kelli is our Director of Fitness and Head CrossFit Coach.
“I love being part of something bigger than myself, which is why I chose to make an impact through fitness. Through coaching and motivating, I have seen athletes find their deepest hidden strengths and push beyond limits simply by believing in them. Fitness brings confidence which in turn will impact every facet of an athlete’s life for the better. Let’s get better together.”

As a trainer, my goal is to make this hour the best of their day. People come from all walks of life and my mission is to help you reach your goals and be the happiest, healthiest version of yourself. Fitness is a lifestyle tool, and there are so many things you can accomplish in and out of our doors with this.

I chose to be a coach because I want to help instill the fire in my clients and motivate them to become a better version of themselves, taking one step at a time - every day.

CrossFit is so much more than fitness and many of the elements we use when training, both physical and mental, translate to everyday life. My goal as a coach is for each person to feel proud of at least one thing they learned or accomplished during their workout. I love seeing people build on this sense of accomplishment inside and outside of the gym!

This has been another amazing experience for me to meet new people who love to celebrate the movement.
Crossfit has been and always will be a part of my life no matter where I am and I am thrilled that it has brought me to Andover CrossFit!

Zach is our player coach.
“I have been nicknamed ‘Dad’ b/c I like to think my teammates consider me the father of fitness. On the gym floor, I live for those little moments where an athlete has a breakthrough no matter how small. Even when I am off doing my cooldown workouts, I am never afraid to offer a suggestion or tip; actively employing the ‘Always Be Coaching’ ethos.”

What I love most about coaching CrossFit is watching athletes bond over shared challenges and accomplishments each day as well as watching an athlete build their confidence throughout their time doing CrossFit. The community brings people together all while learning valuable lessons that help us all both in and out of the gym. As a coach, to have the opportunity to foster that community and create a supportive and inclusive environment for everyone who walks through the door is something I cherish.

As an athlete, I have personally learned that fitness can change your life. My goal as a trainer is to influence my clients to create their personal fitness journey and celebrate the achievements we do together. Watching a client get that first pull-up, drop those first pounds, pick up a heavy barbell, or increase their mobility to get a barbell over their head for the first time is my definition of success. It fulfills me to watch clients conquer what they thought once thought impossible, and that’s why I love this job. Coaching brings me fulfillment, it brings me joy, it makes me happy.
