About

CrossFit Coronado at 160 C Avenue is the original CrossFit affiliate on Coronado Island, operating a dedicated box gym that programs group WODs, Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning for athletes of all ability levels. The coaching staff includes Shannon, who runs the Olympic Lifting program with a CrossFit Weightlifting Level II certification and Catapult Weightlifting training from Don McCauley, and Mitch, a Navy helicopter aircrewman and rescue swimmer who joined the box in 2010 and earned his Level 1 certification in 2023. The C Avenue location shares a building corridor with One Life Physical Therapy at the same address — a co-location that allows athletes rehabbing injuries to transition between clinical rehabilitation and training volume without driving between facilities. A youth program for middle-school and high-school athletes introduces functional-movement patterns and barbell fundamentals outside the school-sport competitive season. Childcare is available during the weekday morning class block, a service created by coach Kim after recognizing that parents on Coronado Island were missing workouts because of child-supervision logistics. Nutrition coaching follows a habit-based flexible-dieting framework, pairing dietary accountability with the physical training to address the body-composition results that gym work alone cannot deliver. The 92118 address sits one block off Orange Avenue in Coronado's village core, and the alley-entrance format gives the gym an industrial training feel distinct from the commercial-corridor retail that lines the avenue. Drop-in sessions welcome traveling CrossFit athletes, including the active-duty military population rotating through North Island Naval Air Station and Naval Amphibious Base on Coronado Island. Mobility and spinal-alignment work between heavy training cycles is available through Back2Play-Coronado Chiropractor, which handles the sport-specific adjustment and soft-tissue protocols that CrossFit loading patterns demand. Saturday morning classes run a single session from 9 to 11, with weekday programming split across early-morning, mid-morning, and afternoon time blocks.
