Brad Newbery

Owner, Strength & Conditioning Coach Sgt. USMC

I served my country in the United States Marine Corps from 1999-2004. I served three tours in the Middle East including Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. I left the Marines as a Sergeant with a strong respect for the importance of physical fitness. After leaving the Marines I became a fire fighter and now work in Concord. As I took on different physical fitness endeavors  including men’s lacrosse, skiing, and the performance needed to be a fire fighter I found Crossfit and never looked back. With coaching from my wife Steph, Tom, and online videos I  spent the first year doing WOD’s out of my garage and in the basement of the firehouse. I quickly realized a need to better understand Crossfit and to pass on that knowledge to others. I have always had a strong desire to coach and teach leading me to become Level 1 Certified.

I am the proud father of two boys. Will has a mean squat depth, and Daniel has a future in Strong Man.  I truly enjoy working with people and sharing with them my love for the sport of fitness.

Skye Butman

Strength and Conditioning Coach

After graduating from UNH I discovered helping someone do something they never thought possible to be my passion. I found CrossFit in 2011 and was immediately drawn to how much it pushed me outside of my comfort zone yet surrounded me with like minded and supportive people. Before CrossFit I was a runner and through CrossFit I found a love for Olympic weight lifting. Outside the walls of WMCF you can find me coaching children in gymnastics and ninja.
