Shelley Jones

My name is Shelley Jones and I had been coaching CrossFit for 8 years before deciding to open my affiliate. I have my CF-L2 and my CrossFit Kids Certification and have coached at various gyms in the area. Before CrossFit, I worked as a NASM personal trainer where I had a variety of clients as well as programmed daily classes for the Manchester Fire Dept. Before deciding to get into the fitness industry I managed and coached all-star cheerleading and dance for 5+ years leading multiple teams to national championships. I spent my teenage years living in a gym and competing as a high-level gymnastics, dancer and all-star cheerleader.

I had been considering trying CrossFit for a bit before actually jumping in. I was lifting alone at a global gym losing interest in fitness. One day I was finally convinced to do a trial class and with that, I was hooked. I instantly knew it was something I would enjoy and had the potential to be a competitive outlet for me. All it took for me was one class to change my life. I started coaching classes just to pay for my membership without realizing it would soon become my full-time career, and eventually lead me to opening my own affiliate one day.

I truly love getting to watch someone do something they didn’t think they were capable of. That’s why I enjoy coaching CrossFit. Being able to believe in someone enough that they believe in themself and being a part of their journey to becoming a better human is truly rewarding. I am passionate about CrossFit because I believe it gives people the tools to live healthier, happier, and longer lives both mentally and physically. On top of all of that, the support you get from the community is unmatched.
