These classes train your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work, or in sports. While using various muscles in the upper and lower body at the same time, functional fitness exercises also emphasize core stability. Exercises may include aerobic exercises, bodyweight movements, and weightlifting. Exercise tools, such as fitness balls, kettlebells, and weights, are often used in functional fitness workouts.

ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Robert Camp. I retired from the US Army in 2019 after 21 years of service as a Military Police Soldier. I am the owner and head coach CrossFit Vex in Grand Junction, Colorado.
From varsity soccer, to US Army Master Fitness, to discovering CrossFit — my passions for pushing the limits of my own strength and speed, and coaching others to do their personal best have multiplied over the years. I’m excited to share these passions with my neighbors of the Grand Valley and the Western Slope community.
I coach everyone, from an aspiring Olympic weight lifter, a mom trying to get her pre-baby body back, and every type of client in-between. My daily classes of CrossFit goers are full of people at varying athletic ability levels. I’ve coached senior (age 60+) clients who just want to stay as active as possible. I’ve helped obese clients slim down and level up to tackle CrossFit classes. No matter where you’re at in your fitness journey, your progress is my passion.
I’m a Faith, Family, Fitness kind of guy. When I’m not in the gym, you’ll find me in church, playing sports, and enjoying the great outdoors with my wife, kids, bonus kids, and our pups.
WORDS TO LIVE BY
“This we’ll defend.”
“Comparison is the thief of joy.”
“#BSFH2K” Bigger. Stronger. Faster. Harder to kill.
This motto applies to you! Not just to Soldiers or first responders. Outside of career danger, everyone has the same enemies trying to kill them. Proper nutrition, fitness, and general physical preparedness are the best weapons against disease and aging.
Ephesians 2:8
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is a gift of God”

ABOUT ME
After a childhood of sports and farm life and having served 4 years in the Army, I gained a passion for fitness and health and was drawn to CrossFit, unfortunately later than I would have desired. In 2014, I tried my first CrossFit class and by the second class, I was hooked. The constantly varied workouts and the extreme sense of community of like-minded people sucked me right in. In January 2015, my husband and I became co-owners of Vex and the next month I found myself in a Level 1 seminar. I’ve spent the last 6 years learning the sport, movement patterns, nutrition, and so much more. I love that CrossFit can be whatever you want to make of it. There is always something to work on, always something to get better, faster, stronger at. It’s never boring or repetitive, and when you’re not in the mood or feeling unmotivated, the community holds you accountable. We live in a world where we are fortunate enough to be able to pick our “hard”. If working out 1 hour a day with loud music, friendly competition, amongst great people, being challenged to become better, get fitter and taking charge of my own health is the outcome, I will choose that “hard” every time.

ABOUT ME
Hiya there! I’m Michaela, one of the coaches here at CrossFit Vex. If you can’t find me at the gym, you’ll most likely find me in a gymnastics gym or outdoors with a coffee in my hand! My passion is people and fitness and living life to the full. From a young age, I’ve loved helping people in any way possible. Over the years, that has specifically grown into helping people in their health and fitness journey. I am dedicated to putting in the work, with passion and a spunky energy of course, to see people become the best version of themselves — both in the gym and outside of the gym.
I grew up on my family’s farm in the boondocks of Minnesota. I can probably credit my love for functional fitness and having a strong work ethic to growing up on the farm; from lifting hay bales, putting in fence posts, and moving gates, it all requires a level of functional fitness and a whole lot of hard work. I started dance and gymnastics at a young age and still love to bust out a floor routine (watch out). I was also involved in volleyball, cheer, and loved to spend any extra time running outdoors or lifting in the weight room.
I started coaching CrossFit in New Zealand where I was volunteering full-time for a non-profit organization. I left the non-profit and New Zealand in 2019 to pursue my health and fitness career goals. I spent time as a personal trainer and dabbled in powerlifting, but couldn’t let my love for CrossFit go. I love helping people in all levels of their CrossFit journey: from helping those just starting CrossFit build a strong foundation to those who’ve been doing the sport for years and need that extra push. My goal is to see you succeed in both the gym and in your everyday life; whatever that means for you.

BS Exercise Physiology, Health and Wellness
CrossFit Level 1 Trainer
ABOUT ME
My love for health and wellness has always played a huge part in my life. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 7, so staying active and knowing the effects that food and exercise have on my body is something I’m cognizant of daily. Through my experience learning how to adopt a healthy lifestyle while managing my diabetes, I found I wanted to help others experience success with their health and fitness goals. I attended California State University Chico and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology and a minor in Health and Wellness.
I fell in love with CrossFit in 2015 when I attended my first class. I found that this style of exercise filled my competitive void after retiring from my soccer career of playing, what felt like, my entire life. From there, it stuck. After years of being a member, I finally decided that I wanted to be part of the other side; not just an athlete, but a coach and trainer. I consider this position my passion and hobby. This job allows me to showcase my ability to lead a group of individuals and assist in improving the overall health, wellness, and fitness techniques in a group setting. I love that I get to interact and communicate with clients daily; motivating, encouraging, and acting as a resource in all aspects of life. I love the opportunity to challenge myself, and be that motivator to challenge others. Now let’s go have some to the fun…!

ABOUT ME
Well I guess this is the part where I need to tell you a little bit about myself. I’m a proud trophy husband and father of four kids. Some of my hobbies outside of the obvious i.e. CrossFit, are almost anything outdoors, Woodworking, and I love digging into the Bible to see what God has to teach me.
On top of my full-time job I have had the opportunity to coach at CrossFit Vex for the last four years primarily at the glorious predawn hours. My favorite moments are when somebody gets to accomplish something for the first time, whether it be a push-up, pull up, muscle up, or whatever somebody has strived to get better at and being a part of that is something pretty special.

I am married and have three children, the youngest of which keeps me busy with his senior year of high school sports. Outside of the gym I am a Certified Veterinary Technician. I love running as a hobby and look forward to 5k races being held live again. I am not the strongest, nor the swiftest, but CrossFit has taught me to never give up and keep challenging myself.
One of the joys of being a Coach at Vex is helping members see their potential, and being a steppingstone of encouragement for them to realize their goals.
