Nate Wernke

Nate has always had a passion for fitness and sports. While pursuing a degree in Computer Science Engineering at THE Ohio State University, he found himself getting burnt out by the repetitiveness of bodybuilding routines and constantly seeing CrossFit advertisements online. He decided to give it a shot and walked into his local CrossFit gym and signed up. He instantly fell in love with the intensity and variance of the workouts. Over time he grew to appreciate the community aspect more and more and it is now his favorite part of showing up to the gym everyday. Nate discovered his passion for coaching and developing others in the sport CrossFit during COVID when he found himself running a makeshift CrossFit gym out of his family’s garage. He learned through this experience that he can serve others by helping them through their fitness journey. Since then, he married his beautiful wife Kelsey and moved to San Antonio. They both consider The Tribe to be their second home and extended family. If Nate isn’t at the gym, you can probably find him on a golf course or reading a book at home.
