Olympic Lifting
Olympic lifting
Olympic Style Weightlifting consists of two very technical movements: Snatch and Clean & Jerk. These movements require body awareness and top-notch mobility. We provide this class to work on technique and drills with our athletes! We utilize different drills to break down each section of these movements. We like to “pick apart” each section of the movement and finetune each athlete, so they can bring what they learned back into their CrossFit classes! A few personal bests on the lifts don’t hurt along the way either. 😉
YOUR Coaches
Tyna Waters
Position: Coach
Hi, I’m Tyna Waters! I’m an ER Nurse and have been coaching CrossFit for 8 years. I have experience with kids all the way to seniors!
In high school, I played a variety of sports and competed at the state level in track and field. Once I discovered CrossFit, I fell in love with the intense workouts and the incredible results. Joining CrossFit Shelby solidified my passion for this community, and I knew I wanted to be an asset in helping others transform their lives for the better.
I enjoy coaching, motivating members, and improving their nutrition, but my true passion lies in making people’s lives more purposeful through functional fitness. Personally, life has thrown me a lot of curve balls but thanks to CrossFit I’m still in the game! Let’s work together to achieve your goals and live a healthier, more fulfilling life!

Joey Bailey
Position: Coach
Hi, I’m Joey! After living a pretty sedentary lifestyle in my 20s, I discovered CrossFit in 2016, and it transformed my life. Two years later, I earned my Level 1 certification and began coaching. Since then, I’ve steadily improved, allowing me to compete in local and regional CrossFit competitions with friends (and even beat Ryan!).
I love coming to the gym for the motivating environment that pushes us all to be better every day. Let’s work together to achieve your fitness goals and embrace the challenge of continuous improvement!
