Michael Gough
Coach at Fort Fitness
Programs by Michael
Member Review: “Look no further than someone who can encourage you to reach the depths that you didn’t think were attainable. If you are in a class with a 1 rep max, no one even you is going to be more excited than Michael. Michael knows how to fire up a group of strangers, and get them to dig. The word, “let up” doesn’t exist for him.”-Brad
Who I Love Helping: I love hard work, showing up when you don’t feel like it, and helping people become a little better every day. What means the most to me, though, is the relationships built along the way. Some of the best conversations, friendships, and life lessons happen between sets, after a workout, or simply by showing up for one another.
Coaching Style: While I take coaching seriously, I don’t take myself too seriously. I’m here to work hard, have some fun, and I’m fluent in sarcasm, so you’ve been warned.
Why I Coach: My goal at Fort Fitness is to help create a place where people know they belong, a place where we work hard, have each other’s backs, and build something that lasts far beyond a workout.
Credentials + Experience: CrossFit L1, 2 years coaching experience.
Fun Facts: Faith is the foundation of who I am. I’m a husband, father of four, aviation maintenance technician, and coach who believes fitness is a lot more than what happens in the gym. I spend my days working on planes, so I figure if I can fix a jet engine, I can fix your squat.
