Ted Schiefen Owner / Head Coach Crossfit level i crossfit level II CrossFit Olympic Weightlifting Crossfit Gymnastics AFAA Certified 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 since 2012, coaching CrossFit since 2013, and 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!” - Coach Ted ted@fortcollinscrossfit.com 
Erica Bartell Social Media / Events Social Media Guru (and soon to be) 2020 Crossfit games champion Originally from Los Angeles, CA, Erica says Colorado will always be her forever home. She started doing CF in early 2017 when her sister introduced her to FCCF after many failed stints at the local globo gym. (So much cardio!) "I played roller derby for 5 years, but was never quite the same after breaking my collarbone at practice. Now I set my own personal goals and achieve them at my own pace, which is what I love about CF. I write newsletters for FCCF, run the FB & IG pages, and attempt to organize events within this community. FCCF is the place to be." The (wo)man at the top of the mountain didn’t get there by falling from the sky, (s)he got there through a long hard climb." -- Vince Lombardi - Erica |
Kendree Brough Coach Crossfit Level I CROSSFIT LEVEL II Kendree is originally from Salt Lake City Utah, but has lived in India, Iowa, Georgia, Maryland, Connecticut, and now Colorado. She moved to Fort Collins about 3 years ago for a job for her husband David. Together they have 4 kids and have been doing CrossFit for about ten years. She was a collegiate and semi-professional soccer player, then found CrossFit shortly after college. She has done CrossFit through 3 pregnancies and through an achilles rupture repair. I love CrossFit because you can modify all workouts to your own abilities and any limitations you may have. It’s worked out well for me and I’m not bored yet so I keep coming back for more! “You’re the reason I get up in the morning...just kidding, I have CrossFit.” - Coach Kendree 
Josiah Weber Coach Crossfit Level I Crossfit gymnastics Josiah is a Fort Collins native, born and raised, and doesn't understand why someone would want to leave. He has grown up with CrossFit, starting in 2010 at the age of 13. When he's not at the gym he can usually be found consuming or crafting stories. "From being a young teen tagging along with his friend to now being a coach, FCCF has been my home for many years. Over that time I've developed a love for human movement that CrossFit, with its variety, is unrivaled in showcasing and developing. I'm excited to be coaching at FCCF to give back to the community I call home by helping them improve their lives, as mine has been, through movement." "You are training for something right now, you just don't know what. But when the day comes, don't wish you had trained harder!! Make 'IT' pay for even thinking taking you on was a good idea." -Jeff Bramstedt - Josiah |
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." Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." - Coach Caleb 
Amy Jochims Owner Crossfit LEVEL I MD 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 residency training in Family Practice here in Colorado. "I've always taken a more 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!" An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. - Proverb - AMy amy@fortcollinscrossfit.com |

While you're building a better you, consider getting your dog a trainer too. We highly recommend The Fort Collins Dog Wizard. We teamed up with them to offer evening dog classes at the gym after the great experience we had working with them!
