Josh Griffis

Started CrossFit back in 2017 after being told he and his wife needed to make serious lifestyle changes to start a family. What began as a decision to get healthier turned into a complete life transformation—losing over 90 pounds himself, his wife losing 150, and now raising a healthy 2-year-old.

Coaching style is high energy, fun, and a little brutal (in the best way). Big on intensity, proper form, and making sure everyone gets a safe, effective workout. Also big on community—creating an environment where people push each other, support each other, and actually enjoy showing up.
‍

Favorite workout is Murph—yeah, he knows that sounds crazy. Loves back squats, avoids thrusters whenever possible.
‍

Outside the gym, he’s always moving—running, working out, staying active—but more than anything, he loves making people laugh and bringing energy into the room.

OCI is more than just a gym to him—it’s where everything changed. It gave him a second chance at his health, his family, and his future. Coaching now is his way of giving back to the place that helped change his life.
