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.

"I love coaching at Fort Collins CrossFit because it is a top notch facility with unbelievable members and caring engaged owners.  My goal every day is to be the best resource available to optimize your fitness.  My tip to all members is have a goal, focus on that goal, visualize that goal's success, and crush that goal! Then, find a new goal.  Always challenge yourself."

Coleman Levy

Competitor Coach
​CrossFit Level I & II | CF Competitor Course

Originally from Anchorage, Alaska, Coach Cole moved to Fort Collins to attend Colorado State University to pursue degrees in Biology and Spanish. 

"I began working out Fort Collins CrossFit about a year before I started coaching here.  I like FCCF because it's an awesome gym with even more awesome members!  I coach CrossFit because I enjoy helping people improve their lives by way of fitness, and there's no better feeling than helping one of our athletes reach their goals. My recommendation for any athlete is to start off with a goal, no matter how big or small, and strive everyday to attain that goal."

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!"

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."
