Chris Orcutt

Often times I hear, “I wish I would have started CrossFit when I was younger.” Fortunately, I was at the right place at just the right time — I have actively been doing CrossFit for my own training since the summer of ‘07. 

21 days after I turned eighteen I took my ‘Level 1 Certificate Course’ in Reno, Nevada! At the beginning of this year I reached my 14th Anniversary for Coaching CrossFit!

Another parallel passion of mine is volunteering my time at CrossFit competitions. I have been involved in a CrossFit event every year since ‘13 in some capacity; Regionals ‘14 - ‘18, Sanctionals ‘19, Semi-Finals ‘20, and the Games ‘13 - ‘25! Side note, If I throw a ‘No-rep’ at you, don’t take it personal! I am simply rehearsing for the upcoming season? 

Born and raised in Meridian, Idaho!

From a young age I have always been active. Whether it was riding my bike around town for transportation, playing pick-up basketball games for hours on end each day in the summer, or playing sports from Middle school thru High school — it was always something! Now you can find me playing volleyball to burn off extra calories. 

My greatest support, and rock that has allowed me to continue pursuing coaching as a career is my Wife, Darnisha. We have been married for +10 years, and have the most sweetest, kindest, and sassiest little girl, Rhian. Her birthday is a week after mine, and she has been the greatest birthday gift I could ever imagine. 

Finally, my love language is ‘high-fives’, if I have to I will track you down after class before you leave!
