Grit is more than simply a character trait.

It is a lifestyle where people commit to the daily grind of competing many small, non-sexy, mundane tasks with excellence.

At GRIT Athlete, we are committed to providing tested and proven fitness programming solutions for CrossFit affiliates, athletes training at home, and tactical athletes training while on duty.

We developed this program because we realize that the greatest adaptations from our fitness occur in activities outside the walls the of the gym – not just on the job, but in the activities and sports you love to do with your friends and families. We, just like you, desire a balanced life of job, fitness, and fun. This program will give you just that. We guarantee it because we developed it and live it each day.

  • Hiking
  • or any combination of the above

Joe Masley

OWNER/CEO

In 2008, shortly after graduating from Marine Corps Officer Candidates School, I found CrossFit and never looked back.

As a former Marine Officer, current professional fire fighter of 7 years, 7 year member of the CrossFit Level 1 and 2 Seminar Staff teams, and owner/head coach of CrossFit Marshfield, I have accrued years of training experience and learned most of my lessons the hard way; by screwing things up first and learning from my mistakes. From my experience in the fitness industry, I have an in-depth knowledge of what effective vs ineffective training and programming looks like and am constant pursuit of learning how to better my craft.

Outside of the Marine Corps and firefighting, my training and coaching background includes a 2012 CrossFit Games appearance as a team athlete and CrossFit Games Regional team appearances in 2011, 2013, and 2014. During that time, I also served as a CrossFit Level 1 Staff Judge at the CrossFit Games in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017. Most importantly, my experience includes eight years of coaching at three different CrossFit affiliates, including Reebok CrossFit ONE at Reebok’s world headquarters, and traveling the world coaching CrossFit Level 1 and Level 2 Seminars; learning from and working with thousands of athletes of all ages and abilities along the way.

Each day of programming is something Joe has already tested or will do alongside you the same training day; he trusts his life with this programming and hopes you will do the same.
