KELBY SMART
CrossFit Head Coach
Definitely one of our most adventurous CrossFit coaches, Kelby Smart traveled the world before starting regular CrossFit workouts. Originally from South Africa, Kelby is a professionally qualified Royal Yachting Sailing Instructor. Added to that, Kelby also holds several qualifications in canoe, kayaking, power boating, windsurfing, and kiteboarding. These qualifications led to Kelby traveling the world prior to moving to Australia in 2009, where he has since developed just as much passion for CrossFit as he has for cycling and the open waves. Moving to Australia specifically in order to study Cert 3 and 4 in fitness and personal training, Kelby discovered the benefits of CrossFit workouts and training during his time studying for his Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise and Sports Science. Introduced to CrossFit by a manager at his work gym, Kelby quickly realized that CrossFit workouts were the No.1 way for people to get faster, stronger, and more ripped than ever.
First practicing CrossFit exercises which he found online, Coach Kelby eventually joined his first CrossFit gym and fell in love with the lifestyle and strong sense of community. In fact, Kelby started to feel so passionate about his personal CrossFit training program, that he eventually helped establish a gym from the ground up as head coach at CrossFit For Fitness.
Naturally passionate about health and fitness overall, Coach Kelby today is part of our incredible team of CrossFit coaches, each of whom strives every day to enhance the sense of passion, inclusion, and community at The CrossFit Chamber.
For Kelby in particular, every day at The CrossFit Chamber feels like catching up with friends and like-minded fitness enthusiasts rather than coming to work. Even better, Coach Kelby has been part of several gyms in the Perth and is always first to testify that The CrossFit Chamber itself is easily the most welcoming and personally rewarding place to discover CrossFit in the Perth area.
