Hi, I’m Matthew Martin! I discovered CrossFit through some friends and quickly fell in love with the variety and challenge of the workouts. Over the past seven years of coaching, I’ve had the privilege of watching people grow and achieve their goals. My mission is to help you discover your “why”—whether it’s in the gym or in life—and support you in reaching that goal through effective workouts and personal growth. Let’s embark on this journey together and make your fitness aspirations a reality!

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!

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!

Hi, I’m Carolina Dedmon! Fitness has been a lifelong passion for me. I’ve worked at several gyms in the area and eventually found my place at the YMCA, where I became certified in various areas of exercise and earned my AFAA personal trainer certification. My own injuries led me to discover the healing power of yoga. After completing my 200-hour teacher certification, I realized how yoga could enhance performance and overall well-being.

I’ve since completed a 500-hour certification in Yoga Therapy and truly enjoy helping people strengthen their mind, body, and spirit. CrossFit is another passion of mine because it challenges everyone uniquely, much like yoga. I love watching our members grow and become like family. I’m thrilled to be a part of this incredible community. Let’s work together to achieve your fitness goals and improve your overall well-being!

Hi, I’m Holli Clark! I’ve been a dedicated runner for 30 years and have embraced the CrossFit lifestyle for the past 11 years. I recently retired from a rewarding career as an elementary school teacher, and I’m thrilled to bring my passion for family, faith, and fitness to the CrossFit Shelby community. As your coach, I’m excited to help you achieve your health and fitness goals, drawing on my extensive experience and love for an active lifestyle. Let’s work together to become the best versions of ourselves!

Hi, I’m Donna Washburn! I’m married and a proud mom to one amazing daughter. CrossFit is my true passion—I love to train, compete, and immerse myself in all things related to fitness. When I’m not working out or talking about the latest workouts and lifting techniques, I’m dedicated to helping customers at my industrial supply store. There, I specialize in providing expert advice on bearings, fittings, and hydraulics. Whether in the gym or at work, I bring my enthusiasm and dedication to everything I do. Let’s crush our fitness goals together!
