Wes Piatt
Owner, CrossFit Coach
Wes Piatt
Owner, CrossFit Coach
Wes is a veteran athlete who’s participated in the CrossFit Games as well as the NorCal and SoCal Regionals. When he began CrossFit in 2009, admittedly, it wasn’t an easy feat. "The first workout I did while on deployment overseas was 'Filthy Fifty.' I couldn’t even get through the double-unders! I threw my jump rope across the room in frustration and fell in love all at the same time. I did that workout every day for two weeks until I was able to finish it."
Wes is a prime example of what you can accomplish if you don’t give up. Today, he holds certificates in CrossFit Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, as well as being apart of the CrossFit HQ Seminar Staff. As a coach, he uses his own training experiences to inspire his members. So, listen, learn, and watch what happens.

Brett Freliche
CrossFit Coach, Sports Nutritionist
Brett Freliche
CrossFit Coach, Sports Nutritionist
Coach Brett Freliche is passionate about helping people become the best version of themselves. Being athletic all his life, competing in wrestling in high school (even getting the fastest pin one year in 13 seconds), playing rugby in college, and hockey in his personal life; it wasn’t until Brett did a workout at CRCF that he really felt a connection not only with CrossFit, but with Coast Range CrossFit in particular.
Now Coach Brett has changed his career path and dedicated his life to CrossFit and coaching his members. One of Brett’s favorite quotes is something that Greg taught him, “Our understanding is that the needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree, not kind. One needs functional competence to stay out of the nursing home. The other one wants functional dominance to win medals", symbolizing to Brett that CrossFit isn’t just for the young, and anyone with enough willpower and determination, could practice CrossFit for a long time.
