Dave Ennis

Dave began his CrossFit journey while on his first deployment in Afghanistan for the Army in 2013. Dave instantly fell in love with the variability and combination of cardio, weightlifting, and gymnastics that closely mirrored his fitness needs in the Army. Throughout his Army moves, Dave continued to pursue CrossFit in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Rhode Island. Unfortunately, right before COVID in 2020, Dave suffered a back injury and was reluctant to get back into CrossFit due to the fear of reaggravating the injury. Dave came to CFUP for the first time in February of 2024 for Friday night lights during the CrossFit Open and was drawn to the community and the workouts, willing to give it another try. Dave has been with CrossFit Unlimited Potential since April of 2024 and could not have asked for a better gym to get back into CrossFit. It was due to the coaches and the community at CrossFit Unlimited Potential, Dave realized his passion to coach and recently received his L1 certification in March 2026.

Dave currently resides in Newington with his wife and 2 sons. He has been an officer in the United States Army for 17 years- currently working as a reservist and a Department of the Army Civilian.
