Trainers

Our head trainers at CrossFit Coeur d’Alene are co-owners Derek Hutchison and Jonathan Burns. Though they may look alike, their distinct athletic backgrounds and interests combine to offer our athletes broad, expert coaching simply not found at any other gym.

Derek Hutchison

While four years as a Recon Marine brought Derek some great skills, it was his time as an instructor to aspiring Recon Marines that created a desire to teach what he had learned to others. Derek has been coaching since 2005, and has a great desire to learn about and teach all aspects of strength, gymnastics, nutrition, programming, and recovery. He is a CrossFit certified trainer, having attended numerous certifications and seminars in order to further his abilities and knowledge.

Jonathan Burns

Jonathan’s background in elite sport (rowing) not only provided him an avenue to test the limits of his body, it also sparked an interest in human performance that continues to this day. Jonathan has been coaching since 2004, and considers himself a student of exercise physiology. As such, he quickly realized that CrossFit’s broad, general, inclusive methods are an ideal program for all athletes, from the everyday to the elite. He is a CrossFit certified trainer, and, like Derek, has and will continue to further his knowledge by any means possible.

Jonathan and Derek carefully plan every day at CrossFit Coeur d’Alene. They respect the fact that our athletes work hard to achieve their goals, and each one–hour session is prepared accordingly.
