Ted Schiefen

​Owner / Head Coach
CF Level I | CF Level II
​CF Olympic Weightlifting | CF Gymnastics         AFAA Certified Personal Trainer

Ted is originally from Iowa, but he and his wife Amy have easily transitioned into Colorado life with their active lifestyles and love for good food and drink. He has been involved in the fitness industry for over 6 years and coaching CrossFit for 5 years, his passion for it continues to grow. 

​​“Living a healthy lifestyle and becoming physically fit is not conquered by simply making the decision to workout, it takes a strong work ethic while at the gym. Just as important, it takes devotion to eating right, getting plenty of sleep, and understanding that your overall wellness is an integral part to your happiness. Never sell yourself short; everyone and everyone’s body has amazing potential!”​

Paige Clark

General Manager ​/ Coach
CrossFit Level I

Paige is originally from Colorado and has been coaching CrossFit for 2 years; however, she first walked into a CrossFit gym in October of 2012 and has never looked back. She has her Bachelor degree in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology, but soon decided that she belongs in the gym. As our FCCF GM and coach, you will see her around often!

“The community at Fort Collins CrossFit is absolutely amazing. Walking through our doors for the first time is the hardest part, but I promise you won’t feel the same when you leave! Let this be the best hour of your day. As your prep course (fundamentals) instructor, I am so honored and blessed to watch each new person walk through our doors and become an athlete, making strides each day — ALL of them worth celebrating!”

Caleb Cox

Coach
​CrossFit Level I 

Caleb is originally from Arizona, but moved to Northern Colorado from St. Louis (Go Blues and Cardinals!). Caleb's full time job as a pastor at a local church brought him and his wife Kristen to Fort Collins. The active lifestyle and craft beer make it impossible to leave. 

"I've always been an athlete and have been involved in team and individual sports my entire life. However, it wasn't until grad school that I tried CrossFit. First ever CrossFit workout, I bailed halfway through to go throw up. I've loved it ever since. The day I walked into FCCF, I knew it would not only be my fitness home, but a supportive and encouraging community also. My favorite part of being one of the coaches here is seeing people do things they never imagined possible."

Amy Jochims M.D.

​Owner / Coach
CF Level I | Family Physician

Also from Iowa, Amy has always been active from running, to yoga, to interpretive dance (really!).  She pursued a medical education at the University of Iowa and is now completing her family medicine residency training here in Northern Colorado. She tends to play a behind-the-scenes roll at FCCF, but you may just be lucky enough to have her coach you in class a time or two!

"I've always taken a non-traditional approach to medicine, which is what drove me to family medicine. I believe preventative medicine is key, treating people as a whole and keeping the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of life in balance, instead of simply treating illness or injury.  With this philosophy, I have always been a strong advocate of fitness regimens that improve physical fitness, challenge the mind, and create a community for emotional resilience, which is why I came to love CrossFit early on in my medical training. I encourage anyone and everyone to give it a try!"

Stacy Gavin

Barbell Club Coach / Free Community Class Coach
CF Level I | USAW Sport Performance Coach

Stacy moved to Colorado after spending 5 years in Tampa, Florida coaching CrossFit and working in Corporate Wellness.  She has been a CrossFit Coach for 5 years and a USA Weightlifting competitor and Coach for 3 years.

"What I love most about CrossFit is it's ability to create a family within this energetic environment that promotes a healthy lifestyle. Not only does the community push each other to become physically better but they also lean on each other for support.  I enjoy helping people improve their lives!  I am super passionate about helping everyone be better than they were yesterday.  The best part about coaching at Fort Collins CrossFit is that I was a member first.  I got to really understand the community and was just instantly welcomed with open arms.  That makes me want to strive to impact the members the way they have impacted me."
