Kyle Peters - Coach
Hometown: Northfield, OH
Why CrossFit? It fills the competitive side of me. And it continues to take me out of my comfort zone whether it be pushing passed exhaustion during a workout or moving a weight that I previously didn’t think I could.
I have always wanted to: Travel to Italy, take in all of the sights and cuisine.
When I’m not at CFD, you can find me: Out with friends, family or volunteering at my church.
Favorite food: Ribs and of course pizza. Also any food that ends in the sound “itos” think about it…
Song that gets me pumped for a workout: “Got Paper” – Lecrae, and some kind of rap with a good beat to get me hyped.
Proudest accomplishment: I take pride in seeing CFD members smash their goals inside and outside of the walls of the gym. That’s where my joy comes from and makes me strive to become a better coach each day.

When I’m not at CFD you can find me… Making continuous trips to the grocery store for one item. And on my PS4. Add me! (PSN: Kaeyo)
Someone would be surprised to know: I grew up quite overweight and I am still very much a fat kid at heart. There is a constant struggle within to stay balanced in food choices; both resisting the urge to splurge and being too restrictive on myself.
Favorite food: I genuinely love all foods and cuisines. I do have a favorite snack (it’s a borderline addiction) that I try not to eat multiple times a day: Flaming Hot Fritos (not to be mistaken with Cheetos!)
Proudest Accomplishment: Whenever someone accomplishes a personal best, moves better, or further progresses in their goals- whether inside or outside the gym- it inspires me to continue to progress as a coach and as an athlete. The feeling I get knowing that I had a hand in those accomplishments is the reason I love being a coach.
