About: I’m a 28 year old Wilmington native with a supportive family & a close group of amazing friends.

Currently I’m the owner and primary coach of CrossFit Coastal, a locally owned strength & conditioning gym focused on providing effective & time efficient workouts to all walks of life.

Prior to founding CrossFit Coastal, I was a Technical Applications Specialist in the United States Air Force where I had the privilege of serving alongside some of the finest men and women in the US military.

I’m always optimistic and believe laughter and a smile can solve many problems.
“You AND your Mom are inspirations. Keep up the good work!” Coach Greg Glassman, Founder of CrossFit, Inc

“Physically, I can do practically anything. I have learned so much about the mental aspects of physical training through CrossFit Coastal, and it has blended into other aspects of my life as well. Thank you.”
~Elizabeth Bailey

“Ezekiel is always willing to help all of us with our diet and health, his enthusiasm is contagious.”
~Dr. Sandra Miles

“Zeke…you have made me feel welcome and have helped me believe that I can do this. I have told you before that it meant a lot to me that you knew my name right away. Then I wasn’t afraid to come back on my own because I knew that I would at least know someone there and feel welcome.”
~Dr. Shelby Morge

About: I’ve always made it a priority to be fit and healthy and have found CrossFit to be the best venue to that goal. All those years at the gym were but feeble attempts to getting and staying in shape. I was introduced to CrossFit a year ago by my son, and only wish I could have introduced it to him. Meaning, I wish I would have known about CrossFit in my twenties. At forty-seven, I can honestly say I feel physically and mentally the fittest I have ever been. And can now look forward to being 50 and 60 and 70 as long as I keep Crossfitting!

I’m a follower of Christ, mother of 3 and wife to Rolando, my number one fan.
As a Crossfit Certified Trainer, I am excited to share this remarkably effective fitness program.
