THE Dissent Athletics STORY

Jonathan and Kelsey Royston owners of Dissent Athletics

Jonathan and Kelsey Royston - OWNERS

Jonathan- “As soon as people stopped telling me to exercise I really wanted to do it so for me entering college I found fitness. It took a few years but then I found a local CrossFit gym and started up there. Within months of doing group classes and following their nutrition plan I stopped taking allergy and asthma medicine I’d been prescribed since I was 8 years old. My goal is to help others remove the chains of illness and disease the same way I did – and have a lot of fun along the way.”

Kelsey- “I’ve always been into sport and competition, but I did not truly get into fitness until I began CrossFit. I thought playing in tournaments every weekend and waking up for 6am weights equaled fitness. After finishing my Master’s in Counseling Psychology, I began working with clients who struggled with mental and physical health daily. I could see how easily they were impacting each other and I even started to find anxiety relief for myself through fitness. Due to CrossFit and education I have been able to cultivate an actual understanding of fitness and all its facets. My mission is to bridge the gap between physical and mental health, one athlete at a time.”

OUR coaches

Ashley Hite

COACH

I love coaching. I really enjoy encouraging people to push themselves & reach potential they maybe didn't know they had. I love getting to know the individual athletes, and finding out what they need from me as their coach. One of my favorite things is seeing something just "click" on a particular movement, skill, or challenge that an athlete has been working on, that excitement or progress is why I love this & being a tiny part of someone's guess is truly humbling & inspiring, as well as motivating.
