Coaches Profiles
JASON
OWNER / COACH
Loving a bit of banter, you’ll find Jase right in the thick of it during training hours. You won’t miss him in the gym - he’s 6’3 and usually having a laugh. Jase is a very well rounded athlete and is always eager to pass on his skills.
Jase left home at seventeen to play professional rugby league, signing with the Parra Eels (you can play him in Rugby League Live 3 on Xbox). Unfortunately a few big injuries forced Jase to hang up his boots pretty early on and from then, he knew that building strong and healthy bodies was something he wanted to pursue.
Jase loves CrossFit because it combines all his favourite things - cardio (he lives for a spicy cardio EMOM), weights, education and some good hedging. He has a no bullshit attitude and loves those who get stuck into doing the work.
Man of many trades, Jase is also a qualified Electrician and practicing Project Manager. If he’s not at the gym or work and the sun is shining, you’ll find him on his skateboard or spearfishing for a big Kingy. On wet weather days, you’ll find him drowning in Pokemon cards and Youtubing Pokemon card openings. Quick tip: don’t bring up Pokemon unless you have a few hours to spare.
FLORENCE
OWNER / COACH
You can pretty much catch Flo at the gym most days. She and her husband Jase built CrossFit Salt Shed from scratch in 2017 and have been there ever since. Flo prefers to be right in the middle of the gym training with and coaching athletes but you’ll also find her behind the scenes knee deep in business admin.
Florence wasn’t sure about CrossFit because of what she had heard but Jase finally convinced her to give it a go and she became immediately obsessed. She has a thing for Olympic Lifting and loves her Friday nights at the bar.
In her life before CrossFit, Florence graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences. While giving the Scientist role a go, she worked as an aqua aerobics and indoor cycling class instructor where she was nicknamed “The Smiling Assassin”. It didn’t take long however for her to hang up her lab coat for the last time knowing that her passion lay in the gym.
What else do you need to know about Florence? She’s a stickler for the rules and anything technique. If she’s your coach she’s your biggest fan and won’t let you down. Oh and she loves a sneaky chocolate bar while watching The Vampire Diaries reruns.
