MEET OUR COACHES

  • Kenzie Clarke

    CO-OWNER | L1 CROSSFIT COACH | PROGRAMMER

    Hi, my name is Kenzie Clarke, I have been doing CrossFit for over 13 years. I went to CrossFit Regionals on a team in 2011 and have been coaching for 9 years. I grew up playing competitive soccer, swimming and hockey and went on to play Varsity soccer and Varsity swimming for Laurentian University. Once I graduated from University and moved back to Orillia, I started CrossFit as it provided the outlet to keep doing a competitive sport while maintaining that sense of comradery of being a part of a team. When I am not doing CrossFit, I am chasing around my 9 year old son Reid and hanging out at home with my husband Blair and husky Norman.

  • Sarah Langdon

    CO-OWNER | L2 CROSSFIT COACH

    Hi, my name is Sarah Langdon, I have been doing CrossFit for over 9 years and I have been coaching for 3 years. I played competitive field lacrosse for 15 years, playing 5 years of varsity lacrosse at McMaster University. I started CrossFit when my time playing competitive lacrosse was coming to an end but I still wanted to do something competitive and with a group of people. Like most people, I was hooked after my first class and absolutely love it. When I am not doing CrossFit, I am a selling houses as a full time Realtor, spending time on the lake with my boyfriend Andrew or watching the Real Housewives.

  • Hailee Thomson

    L1 CROSSFIT COACH

    Hi, I am Hailee. I am L1 certified and am a lover for the community environment CrossFit offers. I found CrossFit once I finished high school and team sports weren’t on my radar anymore. I have been doing CrossFit for 5 years now and my favourite part is the drive to be a better version of myself every day. The atmosphere, community, and competitive nature within the gym is what has kept me going back. When I am not at the gym you can find me running my businesses; Urban Jars or Decluttered, spending time with loved one or being outdoors.

  • Jen Pinnigar

    L2 CROSSFIT COACH

    Hi, my name is Jen Pinnigar. I have been doing CrossFit for 6 years and I have been coaching for 3 years now. Throughout my life, I have always been active, especially on the water with swimming, paddle boarding, and wakeboarding. After I found CrossFit I didn’t look back. It not only meets you where you are but also constantly challenges and inspires you. I love the lifting aspect of CrossFit and my favourite lift is the power clean. When I am not at the gym, I teach special education to adolescents, hang out with family and friends and watch reality TV.

  • Clayton Acheson

    L1 CROSSFIT COACH

    Hi, my name is Clayton Acheson. I have been doing CrossFit for 3 years and coaching for 1. I joined CrossFit because I wanted to try something different than the regular gym and I fell in love with it right away! I was always active in sports growing up with my main sports being competitive wresting and football. Since moving on from sports, CrossFit has given me that competitive edge I have been searching for as an adult. Not only is CrossFit fun but I have met some life long friends here. When I am not in the box, I am working hard growing my masonry company, Acheson Masonry and spending time with my fiancée, Cass Lamb.

  • Dylan Wright

    L1 CROSSFIT COACH

    Hi, my name is Dylan Wright and I have been participating in CrossFit since 2018. I recently completed my L1 coaching certification and have found a love for coaching that I didn’t know I had! I am extremely active in the community as I have always been a part of team sports, volunteer firefighting and now, full time firefighting. I see the importance of community which Couchiching CrossFit has! Everyone is extremely supportive, competitive and a joy to be around! Whether or not we are pushing each other in a workout or getting together for adventures outside of the gym, it always put a smile on my face knowing i’m a part of this community!

  • Danyah Rivietz

    L1 CROSSFIT COACH

    Hi, my name is Danyah Rivietz and I have been doing CrossFit for 10 years. I’ve been an athlete all my life with a background in soccer, martial arts, and professional wrestling. When I’m not at the gym, I’m… at the gym. I’ve been an in person and online fitness trainer for 26 years and I love helping people live a stronger, healthier and happier life. I love CrossFit because of the constant psychical and mental challenges we are all forced to overcome. I also love seeing people improve their quality of life while being surrounded by a genuinely supportive community.

  • Jamie Barletta

    L2 CROSSFIT COACH

    Hey Team! My name is Jamie, and I am a Crossfit L2 certified coach. CrossFit is such a major part of my life because it allows me to constantly work on myself to improve my physical capabilities and allows me to constantly be challenged. I enjoy being a coach at Couchiching CrossFit because it is a great opportunity for me to share my knowledge of the sport and, more importantly, to help and see others improve in many ways in and outside the gym. When people show up to a CrossFit box, they expect a certain standard of coaching, which I always try to hold myself accountable for. The community of Couchiching CrossFit is always very welcoming, and I am proud to be apart of it. If you see me in the gym, always feel free to come up for a chat or ask any questions!
