Coach’s spotlight of the month “NEW”
Hey folks, this is something very new that we are extremely stoked for. Starting this month we will high light a coach and get the inside scoop on what makes them tick.
Our first Coach’s Spotlight is………Drum roll…….Wait for it……
Coach Blair Jost!
Why CrossFit?
I’ve been an athlete for most of my life. As I got older, I found it harder to stay fit. CrossFit got me in the best shape of my life. I wanted to help other people find that for themselves as well.
What can EVF athletes expect from you as a coach?
First, expect me to be silly and always keep things light. Most people don’t think of exercise to be fun; I beg to differ. It’s not that serious. Work hard and laugh. I think you can live forever on those two things alone. And ice cream, can’t live without ice cream.
What’s your favorite CrossFit workout or exercise? Do you have an arch nemesis?
I love low reps high rounds in general. I hate chippers. My favorite workout is Cindy. I HATE Kelly. First time I did it, I thought I was going to die.
Where can we find you when you’re not at EVF?
Usually I’m outside in a park, maybe skateboarding somewhere trying not to get hit by a bus. I also work at the Stumble Inn as a bartender a couple of days a week, which I’m trying to cut back on. It’s really hard on my traps …
Very important questions: favorite food, movie and band?
AKA, all my ice breakers for class.
Food: Ice cream. Pretty sure I’d eat it for breakfast if it didn’t make me feel so crappy afterwards.
Movie: “The Princess Bride.” Best movie ever. Ask anyone.
Band: I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but if I’m working out, I gotta go hardcore rap. Rick Ross, Drake, Wu-Tang …
Let’s hear three random facts about you.
I played rugby in college.
I was the lead in my high school musical senior year.
I have my own greeting card line.
Bonus fact: I hate red onions.
Bravo Coach.
I think I can speak for everyone when I say whats not to love about Blair. Watching her journey to becoming the coach and woman she is today has been something I am very proud to have witnessed and been apart of.
She works so hard on her craft and is constantly demanding more of herself to create a a kick butt experience for our members every time she is in the box. She makes you laugh, she teaches you how to become a true ninja, she totally annihilates you and then she is there to pat you on the back and say, “great job, now lets go get some ice cream.”
True rock star she is.

I took Blairs outdoor 360 class for the first time yesterday and a had a blast. It was fun and easy to get through thanks to a great instructor who knows how to motivate!
Thanks Coach B for being so awesome, so fun, and so entertaining bright & early every Thursday! You’re the best!!
Nothing better than 500am Blair!!! I would like to hear more about this high school musical.. Maybe a reenactment
Love you Coach Blair!!! You’ve motivated me from Day 1. You were in one of my WODS my 1st week and I remember we did a squat hold challenge on the wall and you crushed it. I said to myself “Who’s this girl. I want to be kick ass like her”!!!!
I partnered with Blair on some push presses forever ago and thought the same thing, Jamie. 🙂
I love Thursdays. Thursdays usually STINK because it’s a dumb day of the week, but I’ve begun to alter my schedule so I can get my fix of Coach B! So awesome, always in such a great mood, and you really transform EVF when you walk in the place. Love ya B, we’re so lucky to have you!
Miss Jost deserves all kinds of spotlights! Love this! She definitely is an integral part to EVF and its strong community. Thank you for all that you do. I know I enjoy your classes and coaching. Always very helpful and welcoming. Never a dull moment in class. She brings her Blair flair. 🙂
P.S. Can I get one of these greeting cards in exchange for a quart of ice cream-any flavor??? For reals.
Way to go Coach!
Hi Blair…friend of your mom’s since high school…fun fact…After reading your article I feel old lazy and fat. ….and motivated..you are inspirational for many reasons my dear. Go wu-tang!!
Everyone else has said it already- but seriously Blair, you rock! You have such a friendly and welcoming spirit and made me feel at ease from day 1! I look forward to Thursday mornings and your zany sense of humour! 😀
