Ella Fosnough

My name is Ella Fosnough. I was born and raised in Kansas City, MO and moved to Columbia, Missouri to attend the University of Missouri. I am studying Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing and a minor in Textile and Apparel Management.

I have been attending CrossFit classes since I was 10 years old. My mom is my biggest inspiration and we created an unbreakable bond by working out together. My love for CrossFit grew even more once I got to High School. I started to take fitness and nutrition seriously which completely changed my life. CrossFit fits my personality perfectly, I love to workout, hangout, and have a great time with friends.

Back in KC, I started coaching kids classes which eventually pushed me to get my CrossFit Level 1 Certification. This course completely changed me as an athlete and the way that I coached. I love getting into the details of CrossFit and how important functional fitness is for everyone.

I first started coaching Kids classes in KC back in January of 2021 and at CrossFit Fringe in August of 2022!

When I moved to Columbia, I was welcomed with open arms by the Fringies. I have found my second home here. I get to workout with my best friends every day! I am so thankful to have found this gym and these people!!

Fringe is a close-knit community where the coaches are relentless teachers, and the athletes are extremely hardworking. We have people from all different age groups attend classes, and I think it’s special to have the opportunity to hang out and meet people from different backgrounds.
