James Harness
James discovered CrossFit in 2017 while seeking a way to take control of his health and set a positive example for his family. With no background in sports or experience in the gym, CrossFit initially seemed intimidating—something "only super fit people can do." However, he quickly learned this was far from the truth. From his first CrossFit WOD, he was hooked, realizing it was not only essential for him but something beneficial for others as well.
Under the mentorship of one of the original Fire Breathers, Greg Amundson, James began coaching to help others overcome their obstacles, enhance their lives, and age with grace. He earned his Level 1 credential in 2019, his Level 2 in 2022, and continues to expand his knowledge to this day.
James is passionate about helping people live pain-free lives and improving both their physical abilities and mental well-being. He firmly believes CrossFit is for everyone, regardless of athletic background, and that there’s an athlete in all of us.
