Clayton Cobler

I didn't grow up as a serious athlete. Baseball, soccer, a few other things — nothing ever really stuck. That changed in 2018 when a friend completely transformed her life through CrossFit. I wasn't living a healthy lifestyle at the time, and watching her made me want to make a change of my own.

It stuck. I've trained consistently ever since, developed a real passion for weightlifting, gymnastics, and barbell movements, and eventually found my way to coaching. I earned my CF-L2 and have been coaching at Arnold CrossFit since 2023, running the Tuesday and Thursday 5 AM classes.

I especially enjoy working with athletes on gymnastics skills and finding scaling options that actually work. Everyone should be able to move well and make progress, regardless of where they're starting.

Outside the gym I'm a full-time realtor and co-own a real estate investment and home staging company with my wife. We live on 20 acres in Barnhart that we call our sanctuary. Golf, outdoor projects, and time with family fill the rest.

What I love most about coaching is watching athletes surprise themselves. I also won't pretend I don't love the 5 AM energy specifically. Watching people walk in half asleep and leave accomplished is something I never get tired of. Growth in the gym carries beyond it. That's what I'm here to help you find.
