Ethan Goetz
Owner and Head Coach
CrossFit Wash Park is owned by Ethan and Kristina Goetz, with Ethan serving as Head Coach. A CrossFit Level 3 Trainer since 2021, Ethan has spent thousands of hours coaching athletes of all experience levels. His coaching philosophy is simple: build exceptional movement first. Strong fundamentals create safer athletes, better performance, and long-term progress. A former college baseball player and lifelong athlete, Ethan is passionate about helping people become fitter, stronger, and more confident inside and outside the gym.
Additionally, Ethan realizes fun is an essential component of exercise and does not take himself too seriously. While he is pretty good at doing pullups, he's also quick to point out he's pretty bad at growing a beard, getting a tan, or not wearing the same gym pants every day (which his wife loves to point out). He and Kristina also like to think that they are the only MIT graduates - Ethan BS Mathematics 2000; Kristina BS Nuclear Engineering 2000 - who own a CF gym, but have no way to verify this. If you're an MIT grad who owns a CF gym, please keep that to yourself and don't spoil it for us.
