Kelsey Butler

Kelsey has been coaching CF for about 4 years, and doing CF for about 9.5. Originally, she started as a member of SteelMill CrossFit back in the day, but has recently joined the First Coast coaching team after moving back to Florida in 2021. Kelsey loves to coach Olympic lifts and enjoys seeing all of the smiling faces that walk through the door every day. Making sure everyone is having fun whilst still challenging themselves is a top priority, as well as ensuring that everyone feels part of the First Coast family. And of course, making people laugh! Very important to make people laugh so they don’t realize how much they are dying during the workout.

Snatches are my favorite lift, which coincidentally also is my favorite lift to coach.
