Chris Gosler
Head Coach
Biography:
I began a career as a personal training immediately upon earning my B.S. in Kinesiology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Being a life long lover of both sport and fitness, I immediately fell in love when I found CrossFit. I have gone through many certifications in the fitness industry in addition to having 17+ years of experience helping clients, of all ages and abilities, learn real world fitness.
Fitness has helped push me to excel in life outside of the gym while becoming a better father, husband, co-worker and friend. I am extremely thankful to be able to do what I love each day. Monday is still my favorite day of the week and I get excited every day to wake up at 4am and come to work. I wouldn’t trade anything for the camaraderie and friendships I have made throughout my life in both fitness and sport and I am honored to be able to give back on a daily basis to the program that has given so much to me.
I have actively managed CrossFit Southie since our opening in 2010. We have grown to occupy 15,000 Square feet of space with a membership that has reached as high as 550 members, with upwards of 14 classes a day. Along the way I have mentored and grown 30+ coaches and have shaped the fitness of more lives than I am able to count. I am excited to contribute to the STRIVE community and look forward bringing my skill set to the South Shore!
