Tyler Lasley

“CrossFit has been a life-changing experience for me. As an owner of one of the first 500 CrossFit Affiliates in the world I have had the privilege of training in several different boxes, yet always find that CrossFit Fringe, our coaching team, and community stick out as one of the best I’ve ever been to or seen. Their passion has fueled my relentless pursuit of excellence in continuing education, and sharing my knowledge to change lives in Columbia, Missouri. I still owe thanks to those who first introduced me to the pain and pleasure of becoming comfortable being uncomfortable.”

Before CrossFit, Tyler Lasley worked with Division 1 athletes at Mizzou in athletic performance and strength and conditioning. He worked with football, volleyball, baseball, swimming, and tennis. Additionally, Tyler programmed and worked with the Superleague Chicago Griffins, the Division 1 St. Louis Bombers, and the Mizzou men’s rugby clubs. He was also in school for Nutrition with an emphasis on Exercise Physiology. His ultimate goal was to complete a Doctorate, but it fell to the side at the MS level because CrossFit Fringe became less of a hobby and more of a career – a unique space that allowed him to house all the areas he loved under one roof: part science, part anecdotal experience, and a little bit of experimentation. Tyler’s athlete roster has included NFL athletes, pro rugby players, powerlifters, weightlifters, Paralympians, weight loss/gain athletes, and of course most notably CrossFit Games athletes; including individuals, teens, teams, and masters.
