The Coaches

Every class at The Pack is coached. That means a certified, attentive human being is watching your form, correcting your movement, and cheering you through every rep.

Owner & Head Coach

Kristin Clepper

CrossFit Level 2

Kristin became owner of The Pack CrossFit in 2025, bringing a lifelong athletic background and a crystal-clear vision: keep the community that made this gym great, and push every aspect of it further. A competitive athlete herself, Kristin's coaching philosophy centers on technique first, intensity second. She'll meet you exactly where you are and push you exactly as far as you're ready to go.

Specialty

CrossFit programming, barbell lifting, community building

Favorite Movement

“The thruster — it's awful and perfect.”

Why They Coach

“Because watching someone hit a PR they didn't believe was possible is the best thing in the world.”

Olympic Lifting Specialist

Coach Sarah

USAW Level 1 · CrossFit Level 1

Sarah competed in Olympic weightlifting at the state level before transitioning to coaching full-time. Her technical eye is exceptional — she can spot a fault in your setup before you've even touched the bar. She runs the Olympic Lifting specialty program Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings, and brings the same rigor to the CrossFit classes she coaches.

Specialty

Snatch, clean & jerk, technical barbell work

Favorite Movement

“The snatch. It demands everything at once.”

Why They Coach

“I want people to feel what it's like to move a barbell with real precision. There's nothing like it.”

Endurance & Running Coach

Coach Mike

RRCA Certified Running Coach · CrossFit Level 1

Mike has coached athletes from first-time 5K runners to ultramarathon finishers. His Endurance program runs Tuesday and Thursday evenings and is built for anyone who wants a better engine — runners, cyclists, and CrossFitters who want to go longer without slowing down. His coaching emphasizes sustainable pace, form, and the mental side of long-distance work.

Specialty

Endurance programming, running mechanics, aerobic capacity

Favorite Movement

“The 400m sprint — simple, brutal, and honest about your fitness.”

Why They Coach

“Running is the most accessible sport in the world. I coach because I want people to know they can do more than they think.”

65+ Program Specialist

Coach Maria

CrossFit Level 1 · FMS Certified

Maria built the 65+ Athletes program from the ground up when she joined The Pack, and it's now one of the most popular classes in the gym — with a waitlist. Her philosophy is that older athletes deserve real training, not a watered-down version of it. She programs for mobility, balance, and genuine strength using the same CrossFit framework, adapted thoughtfully for the body's changing needs.

Specialty

Functional movement for older adults, mobility, balance

Favorite Movement

“The farmer's carry. It's exactly the kind of strength that keeps people independent.”

Why They Coach

“My program exists to prove that 65 isn't a ceiling. It's just a different starting point.”
