Tim is coach, owner and GM of Crossfit NCS. A lifelong runner, Tim began his CrossFit journey 12 years ago and has had a “healthy addiction” to it ever since. He can be found in the gym each day coaching, working out, and hanging out with the awesome community of athlets at CrossFit NCS. Tim’s passion for the gym centers on helping others to find and embrace the life-altering impact of fitness in their lives, regardless of their age or athletic background.

Coach Abby
Coach Ali
Coach Ali grew up in Washington State where she played soccer throughout her youth. She went on to row varsity crew at Western Washington University and followed that with a decade of running half and full marathons.
It was after the birth of her second child that she went looking for something new, as the wear and tear of running had left her burned out both physically and mentally. In 2010 she walked into a CrossFit gym and never looked back.
In the early days, Ali helped several different teams qualify for the CrossFit Games regionals and served as an alternate for those teams. Since then she has coached at CrossFit Invictus in San Diego and CrossFit Loft in Seattle.
What Ali enjoys most is helping others achieve their goals and hit PRs. In addition, she likes to use her extensive experience doing CrossFit during and after pregnancy and before and after hip surgery to assist people with similar special circumstances. She believes strongly in using accessory work to help prevent and heal injuries.
Ali worked as an ICU nurse for 9 years before becoming a CrossFit coach, which provided her with more flexibility as she moved every few years due to her husband’s service in the U.S. Coast Guard. Now settled in Colorado Springs, they have three kids (15, 12, and 8) who are competitive swimmers. When not at swim meets or in the gym, she can be found hiking throughout the area with her family.
Ali is known for her “sunny” disposition during warmups and is always game for dishing out some motivational pep talk.
