Josh Heller

Josh began his CrossFit journey in 2014 and took his passion for fitness to the next level by becoming a coach in 2019. He earned his CrossFit Level 2 Certification in 2022, and The Gymnastics Course in 2024 furthering his expertise in helping athletes reach their goals.

Athletics have always been a central part of Josh’s life. For over 10 years, he worked in professional hockey as a play-by-play announcer. However, growing up, he primarily focused on running in high school and college, with little experience in weightlifting. CrossFit added an exciting new dimension to his fitness routine, not only introducing him to weightlifting but also enhancing his existing strengths. This training helped him accomplish a major milestone: completing his first marathon in 2019.

Josh was drawn to CrossFit for the variety of workouts and the unique support and accountability provided by the Albany CrossFit community. He enjoys sharing that same sense of camaraderie and motivation with others.

Originally from Boston, Josh has called the Capital District home since 2010. He lives in Rotterdam with his wife Alex and their son Declan.
