Jono Whitehead

Jono started Crossfit at the end of 2011 in his home town, at Crossfit Plymouth. After developing as a coach and an athlete for a year, he took a career opportunity to coach in Kuwait at that country’s first affiliate, Crossfit Circuit Plus. He spent 18 months in the Middle East, coaching and educating the Community about health and fitness, while watching Crossfit explode across the Middle East.

Whilst in Kuwait, he qualified for the Asia Regionals in 2013 and 2014 as an Individual Athlete. The recognition he received there gave him the opportunity to go to the USA to compete on his coach’s team at Crossfit New England.

Jono gained a spot on the team in 2015 and Team Crossfit New England went to the 2015 Crossfit Games in California.

Jono spent 3 years at Crossfit Synergistics and Crossfit New England, coaching and learning from world renowned Ben Bergeron and his coaching staff before taking another amazing opportunity to coach at Crossfit One Nation for 2 years.

His time in America changed and shaped him as a coach, allowing him to develop his coaching ability and opening him up to the wider Community. Learning from highly decorated coaching staff at both Crossfit One Nation and Reebok One; both places filled with HQ Seminar staff both day in and day out, being moulded and held to the high standards expected throughout the gym, have made him the coach, and the person, he is today.

He decided to return to the UK in summer 2018, to open a Crossfit Gym in Wadebridge, an area he grew up living in and loving during his summers. Jono wants to help the local community become healthier, happier and fitter by giving them a better quality of life.
