Jason Callis
COACH
I found my way into CrossFit as an April Fool’s Day dare/prank in 2015. A friend had me ‘check in’ on social media to CrossFit Oconee as what I thought was a prank, but ended up getting pranked myself into taking a class! Much to my surprise I instantly fell in love with it. I remember the first workout like it was yesterday, and the fact that I was dead last to finish (which still happens). I had grown bored with going to the gym alone, throwing my headphones on and doing whatever bodybuilding type workout I could find online, so this was just the change I needed and it’s stuck with me for over 8 years now.
I started coaching in 2016 and that increased my love for CrossFit tenfold. Not only do I have the opportunity to build connection and community, but I also get to empower members to reach their goals in whatever that looks like for them. It has become a passion for me.
My full time work is in the field of addiction recovery with a nonprofit and as a licensed mental health therapist. Both of these rolls have shown me the power of community and I believe fit perfectly alongside coaching CrossFit. I can’t wait to have you in class!Certifications: CF L1 & L2, CF Gymnastics, CF Olympic Lifting, LMSW
