Shawn Johnson

Coach

As a United States Marine Corps veteran and retired first responder, I’ve always had a genuine passion for serving and helping people from all walks of life. I coach because I tend to see the best in people, and quite frankly I feel called to encourage and empower those who potentially need it the most. Life is real. It’s full of challenges/seemingly ubiquitous obstacles, and I believe that sometimes we all could use an encouraging ray of sunlight to break through the daunting clouds of self-doubt that have hovered over each of us at one point or another. Coaching allows me the privilege to encourage, motivate, and inspire amazing individuals, and it’s an absolute joy to do so 🙂

I’ve been CrossFitting for several years, involved in fitness since 2001, and have had the honor of coaching and training U.S. Marines, first responders, and civilians in various capacities for over 20 years. From Frederick County, MD to Fairfax County, VA, I’ve called this area home for over a decade, and it’s a great place to be. When I’m not spending quality time with my amazing family, I’m reading, working out, learning something new, or enjoying the great outdoors!

Come join us in the HYROX Endurance Class and let’s not only get good workout in, but let’s have some FUN!

Special shoutout to all teachers, first responders, healthcare providers, and military (active duty & veterans).

I’m incredibly grateful for all of the good that you do.

Now let’s get it.
