Austin Kaul

Meet Austin, your down-to-earth CrossFit coach who's all about practical progress. Introduced to CrossFit in 2017 by some work buddies, Austin was hooked by the challenging workouts and the sense of community. Since then, he's been hitting the gym consistently, finding motivation in the sweat and camaraderie.
As a coach, Austin's main goal is simple: helping people get better, both in the gym and in life. Whether it's hitting new personal records or gaining confidence, he's all about guiding his athletes toward tangible improvements. What sets Austin apart is his focus on form and technique—he's a stickler for getting it right because he knows that's where the real progress happens. Outside the gym, CrossFit has been a game-changer for Austin, bringing him lifelong friends and even his wife. Through coaching, he hopes to inspire others by showing them that with a little hard work and dedication, anything is possible.

A defining moment for Austin came during his childhood when he faced bullying. Determined to stand up for himself, he turned to fitness as a means of self-defense and confidence-building. This early experience laid the foundation for his lifelong commitment to health and fitness.
Since then, Austin has made it a priority to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle, focusing on his ability to move well and stay strong. This pragmatic approach to fitness guides his coaching philosophy, as he aims to empower others to prioritize their physical well-being and live life to the fullest.

Austin's purpose as a coach is clear: to make a positive impact on the athletes he's had the privilege of coaching over the past 5 years, both old and new. He sees each athlete as an opportunity to provide unique guidance and support, tailored to their individual needs and goals. For Austin, coaching isn't about the "stellar pay or the inevitable fame"—it's about the opportunity to improve lives and find joy in the process.
Driven by a deep-seated desire to share knowledge and help others grow, coaching is more than just a job for Austin—it's a fundamental part of who he is. He finds fulfillment in seeing athletes progress and gain new insights, knowing that he's played a role in their development. While his motivations may be complex, one thing is certain: Austin's commitment to coaching is rooted in a genuine passion for making a difference in the lives of others.
