About Nick Sellers

Coach Nick started learning about CrossFit in 2010 after hearing about it from his sister-in-law, Layla. He found CrossFit.com and The CrossFit Journal and began doing workouts at home in a spare bedroom outfitted with minimal equipment. By 2011, Nick got his CrossFit L1 and his passion only grew. He wanted to help people get healthier, stronger, and fitter and build a likeminded community of support – a family. In 2014, he went on to receive his CrossFit L2 and in 2019, became a Certified CrossFit Trainer (CrossFit L3) with the goal of being the best coach for his athletes. He later formed Rose City Barbell Club in 2024.

Coach Nick’s favorite thing about coaching is the satisfaction that comes with helping athletes learn new movements. Coach says “when someone figures something out, it’s awesome to see their faces light up. I love that.”

Coach’s favorite movement is the snatch. When he’s not coaching at the gym or programming workouts, he’s spending time with his family.
