Jason Spalding

Coach Jason Spalding grew up north in a small town in Humboldt County. With the redwood trees as his back yard most of his days were spent outside exploring and hiking. In High school he both excelled in Track and Football however his passion was more free running and enjoying nature. 

Moving down south to stay active he competed in not only fun run 5ks but also both Spartan and Tough Mudder races. There he was able to feel the sense of comradery on a team completing these events with friends. However, when he is not spending his time outside enjoying nature, you can find him enjoying a good horror movie or attempting to write one. 

One graceful day Coach Jason found DRS and was introduced to CrossFit and once into his life there was never a look back and he has enjoyed every day. 

His passion for fitness and being active lead him to have the opportunity at DRS to be a coach and role model for other members. 

He became a coach to share his knowledge with others. “CrossFit is not only about working out and being fast/strong/tough, its about the community that it builds.” He says. “To be able to have daily conversations about things that will not only make us healthy but lengthen our lives so that we get the maximum potential, that is the reason I got into coaching.”
