About

I'm Jordan Ellis, a functional fitness and CrossFit coach based in New Orleans. I've spent the past 5 years making CrossFit accessible and fun for people who are intimidated by the typical box atmosphere. My classes and private sessions focus on building a foundation of movement quality before intensity. I believe everyone deserves to feel strong and capable, regardless of where they're starting from. My programming emphasizes smart progressions, injury prevention, and community. I coach group classes and one-on-one sessions at Momentum Athletic in the Warehouse District, and I'm known for my patience with new athletes and my ability to break down complex movements into simple steps.

Jordan's programming is the best I've experienced in NOLA. He balances strength, gymnastics, and conditioning perfectly each week.

Qualified for Quarterfinals after one year with Jordan. His competition strategy and peaking protocols are dialed.

Jordan helped me overcome my fear of heavy overhead work. His progressive loading and confidence-building approach changed everything.

His engine-building program is brutal but effective. My Assault bike and rowing numbers are at all-time highs.

Jordan films every session and reviews technique after. That level of detail in coaching is rare.

Excellent at programming for all levels. Whether you're a beginner or a Games-level athlete, he adjusts appropriately.

The Olympic lifting accessory work Jordan programs has cleaned up my positions dramatically. My snatch has never felt better.

Jordan is an elite coach but his slots fill fast, especially leading into the Open season.
