Back to Coaches

Hi, I'm Shannon Blessington, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the coaching team here at CrossFit APEX. My journey with CrossFit began back in high school when I joined APEX during my junior year at Lansdale Catholic, where I graduated in 2013. It was there that I learned how to lift with proper form, build strength and confidence, and, most importantly, develop healthy habits that I still carry with me today.

After high school, I attended Penn State University, where I studied to become a high school math teacher. Education has always been a passion of mine, and I now teach math and computer science at Marple Newtown High School. My background as a teacher plays a big role in my coaching style. I love seeing others learn, grow, and succeed—whether it’s in the classroom or in the gym.

In May 2022, I earned my CrossFit Level 1 (CF-L1) certification, followed by my Kids Certification that same summer. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of coaching both youth and adult classes. I’m passionate about helping others discover their potential through fitness, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to guide people towards healthier lifestyles.

I look forward to seeing you in class and working together to reach your goals!
