Wayne Langley
Hi, I’m Wayne Langley! I began my CrossFit journey nearly nine years ago to improve my overall health and well-being, and I’ve never looked back. Since starting as a coach in 2016, I’ve loved watching my athletes make daily improvements and reach new heights in their fitness journeys.
When I’m not at the gym, you’ll find me working around the house, building projects to enhance my family’s lifestyle. I also enjoy spending time with my family by the pool and working on cars in my garage during my spare time. Let’s work together to achieve your fitness goals and improve your overall well-being!

Clint Bridges
Hi, I’m Clint Bridges! With a background in weightlifting, I started CrossFit in 2012 to enhance my career in public service. I quickly realized I wanted to help others, especially those new to fitness, so I earned my Level 1 certification in 2013. I initially coached at what is now CrossFit Gastonia before joining CrossFit Shelby within a year of its opening, and I’ve been a part of this amazing community ever since. In 2018, I achieved my Level 2 certification. I love the CrossFit family here in Shelby and am passionate about helping every member reach their fitness goals. Let’s get stronger together!
