Toni Blair
CrossFit certifications/Education? I'm a CrossFit Level 2 certified trainer. Background?My athletic background includes softball, volleyball, 10 years of ballet, 7 years Taekwondo, Jujitsu, and Kempo.
I love the study of how the human body moves. Efficiency and technique fascinate me. Why crossfit?I started CF after a friend told me that she had found the perfect workout for me. I was 38 years old, battling Hashimoto’s, depression, and Dr’s were telling me that I would never be able to build any muscle, that my metabolism was so short that I needed to eat literally half of what the average woman should eat. My momma didn’t raise a quitter so I fought back. I put on 20 pounds of muscle my first year. I found Paleo and then I discovered Zone when my body told me that it needed more food. I am a Crossfit addict. I am addicted to living a strong, healthy, smart life. I love learning new things and conquering challenges. There are challenges that come from being a masters athlete and I’m learning to love the process of working with a maturing body. Favorite Movements: Dumbbell Snatch, Deadlift, and Burpees. My goal for this next year is a strict muscle up and a 300 pound deadlift. I love any workout that has 3 or more movements. Why CrossFit West Salem?I began coaching in 2016 and I love helping people learn new things. Guiding members through conquering their challenges is intensely rewarding. Everything from that first box jump or push up to conquering the fear of being upside down. I love seeing people move better and the mental strength that comes from tackling the workouts day after day. Fun Facts:I’ve been married for 23 years, I’m a Mom of 4 and an avid coffee drinker.

WHAT DREW YOU TO CROSSFIT? My necessity to get healthy after 6 years of a sedentary lifestyle, biking everyday was not cutting it, and my knee was failing me. My wife recommended CrossFit, but I was hesitant at first.
WHAT KEEPS YOU IN CROSSFIT? Community! The drive I was born with and the added title of Marine pushes me to do hard things and to face all challenges and adversity head-on. People are watching, if I can motivate a person younger than me, I want them to see fitness is for lifetime, and we have many years ahead no matter the challenges we face whether physical, mental, or diet. The answer lies within us, let’s find it together! Plus…. I need to beat coach Reid. 3.FAVORITE MOVEMENTS? Sandbag cleans, burpees and deadlift. 4. FAVORITE SONG TO GET YOU PUMPED FOR A WOD?

COACH
Caitlin Smith
I have always been active with sports and different activities. I started competitive jump rope when I was 6 and competed for many years, making it to Nationals once!
During that time I also did gymnastics, soccer, swimming, and went on to play volleyball, basketball, and softball in middle school. Once I got to college I organized, coached, and played every sport in our intramurals league at the University of Oklahoma.” I started CrossFit when I moved to Oregon in 2018. I knew it would become a lifelong passion right away. I started coaching in 2023 and have enjoyed becoming a more active member in our West Box community. When I’m not at the gym, you can find me hiking, reading, playing guitar, snowboarding, surfing, or any activity outside.

COACH
Adam Mattern
I started CrossFit in 2020. I've always been a pretty active person. Snowboarding and skateboarding, really anything with a board was my jam. I always thought since I was active that's the only workout I needed. But over time my thoughts on that changed.
