I look forward to continuing working with the Meade CrossFit athletes and help them achieve their individual goals. During the day, I am the PASS (Behavior) Coach at Stuart Pepper Middle School. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Dana, and we have three busy kids (Anthony, Jillian and Elliot), and a goldendoodle named Roo."

"I started my CrossFit journey when I turned 50. It was kind of like a mid-life crisis move! Previously, I was an avid runner for 30 years. My hips were killing me! So, I thought I’d give CrossFit a try. It was a life-changing move that I instantly fell in love with! What I feel is the best about MCF is the tremendous support, love and “family feel” among our athletes. We really are one big family! I am so proud to be a MCF coach and so excited to help others on their fitness journeys too! Remember- it’s never too late!"
Background of your Head Coach Jeremy
Jeremy comes from a background of Pro AMA ATV Motocross. Through the years, he has studied and practiced nearly every type of training. He took his health and fitness seriously to perform at his peak during the race. He retired in 2012 on top and knew right away what he wanted to go into, fitness. He started in the typical gym scene with machines and some free weights. But something was missing. He would hit a plateau, would lose motivation, and just didn't feel that what he was doing in the gym was giving enough push, intensity, and results. He then found CrossFit. He was hooked! Immediately started reading the CrossFit Journal, following the WODs given and practicing all the movements of CrossFit. After about 2 years he then, with his wife PeeJay got their CrossFit Level 1 certificate at CrossFit Mayhem and have been on fire since. Training others personally and each other, they knew it was time to move back to his hometown of Battletown, KY and give his Meade County community something that would benefit them all for life, a CrossFit Box. Jeremy and PeeJay are always continuing their education through CrossFit. You can never stop learning! Your health, fitness, and lifestyle is very important to us and continuing our education is important so that we can continue to know whats best for you!

Meade Crossfit is my happy place. I joined the crossfit community in 2017 after retiring from collegiate running. I had never touched a barbell before but I was surrounded by a group of people who encouraged me, supported me, and cheered me on. I always would leave CrossFit in a better place than when I come and that’s why I love it! Meade CrossFit gives you a sense of community that you won’t find anywhere else. The members and coaches are positive, accepting, and motivated people who want to see you succeed. As I continued with crossfit I immediately noticed changes in my overall wellness, confidence, and fitness. All while making lifelong friendships that I carry with me to this day! Crossfit is for everyone and I would recommend anyone come try it out. I am so excited each day to share all of my passion and knowledge with MCF members and love being apart of the coaching community!

CrossFit isn't just fitness to me. I feel it's a place of helping hands and community. I get to help someone feel better about themselves mentally and physically. I get to help the community through Meade CrossFit. I get to put a smile on someone's face by helping them accomplish something they never thought was possible. The list goes on. I love that with CrossFit, ANYONE can do it. All shapes, all sizes, and all fitness levels. Yes, even someone who has never touched or looked at a piece of equipment can do CrossFit. It's just the matter of how bad do you want it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
"A few years ago after coming home from overseas I fell out of shape with a combination of low activity, sedentary lifestyle, and poor eating habits. I cleaned up my eating a little and started doing a regular globo-gym style training with cardio in 2016 and lost some weight but by 2017 I was getting burnt out doing the same old routines. Like a lot of people, I stumbled across the CrossFit Games documentaries on Netflix and it peaked my interest. At the time, my work schedule conflicted with any of the CF gyms I looked into so I started following a general CrossFit program using my home gym and fell in love.I fell in love with the variety and how it would just bury me in the dirt sometimes in something I hadn't really worked on or thought to. Then my personal career changed in the end of 2019 to allow me to work from home and so I was able to finally join a CrossFit gym, Meade CrossFit. Here I found some great friends and competitive peers and it definitely beats working out alone. Like many others I have struggled (and still do sometimes) at developing skills, capacity, finding inspiration, and motivation. Now I'm proud to call myself a coach at MCF what I look forward to most is to pass on things I've learned in my journey and to aid my peers in their to become healthier as well.
“To me, CrossFit isn’t just about how much weight someone can move or how fast one person is compared to another. It’s about the community. Having a family of people that are going to support you throughout your fitness journey and are going to hold you accountable of your goals. I got into CrossFit after 2 years of working out in the conventional style gym. I found it hard to stay motivated and hard to chase the goals I’d set for myself. I would be in there for 2-3 hours and would feel drained but my progress was slowing down. Joining CrossFit, I was able to have fun with what I was doing and the people I was doing it with. Shortly after, I knew that I wanted to help other people with their fitness journey and guide them to their goals. “Great things never come from comfort zones!” So try something new!”
