Head Coach – Simon Johns

Simon started coaching adult CrossFit classes 6 years ago and became CrossFit Kids certified in April 2017. Prior to his coaching career, Simon taught PE in a Secondary School in Weston-super-Mare for 9 years. Throughout this time, he had the opportunity to teach all ages (4-18) as a Primary Link Teacher. For the last four years of teaching, Simon was Head of Year which gave him the opportunity to provide pastoral and welfare support for students.  Although Simon relished the challenges of teaching, his passion for CrossFit and Functional Fitness lead him to coach full time from September 2018. His experience and teaching background ensures FunFit classes are high quality with appropriate behaviour management strategies, if required.  His main focus and passion is developing the fitness and activity levels of the children he coaches, along with being a positive role model.
