We’re excited to announce Ben Johnstone as the new Head Coach of CrossFit Abode South.
Finding the right coach for CrossFit Abode South was important to us, Ben brings a huge amount of experience, knowledge, and leadership to the team.
Ben has been involved in CrossFit since 2014, holds his CrossFit Level 2 Trainer qualification, and previously owned CrossFit Recon in New Zealand. With almost 20 years of teaching experience and involvement in a range of fitness projects across youth development and defence, he has a proven track record of helping people perform at their best.
Many of you already know Ben as a member of the Abode community for the past few years. His passion for coaching, commitment to building strong communities, and genuine care for people make him the perfect fit to lead CrossFit Abode South into its next chapter.
We’re excited for what’s ahead and confident Ben will continue to strengthen the supportive, welcoming, and high-performing community that makes South so special.
