Nick Smith (he/him)

Coach Nick was named Rare Breed’s Coach of the Year in 2025 — and if you’ve taken one of his classes, you know exactly why.

Nick brings years of experience as a CrossFit athlete and has been coaching at Rare Breed since Summer 2025. He’s a high-level athlete who shows up every single day, embraces the grind, and genuinely loves challenging workouts. But what makes Nick special isn’t just his performance — it’s how deeply he cares about helping others rise to their own potential.

He leads by example. He trains hard. He stays consistent. He does the work.

And then he turns around and pours that same energy into every athlete in his class.

Nick has a unique balance of intensity and warmth. He’ll push you when you need it, encourage you when it’s tough, and make sure you feel seen and supported every step of the way. His classes are intentional, structured, and filled with purpose — because he puts real thought into how every athlete experiences the hour.

You’ll feel his passion.
You’ll feel his presence.
And you’ll leave better than you came in.
