About Danny Poe

Hey everyone! My name is Danny Poe and I joined the CrossFit Springfield/ Proximal Strength coaching staff around summer of 2019. I am also the owner and head coach of my wife and I’s CrossFit gym, Perform Overcome Excel CrossFit, located in Marshfield Missouri. I started CrossFit right after I graduated Marshfield High School in May of 2012 and began coaching shortly afterwards in 2013. I currently have my CrossFit L-1 and CrossFit L-2 certificates as well as CrossFit Weightlifting and CrossFit Mobility certificates. In high school I was a multi-sport athlete. I participated in Football, Wrestling, Cross Country and Track and Field. I was introduced to CrossFit by one of the coaches for the football team and just fell in love with it. Shortly after finding CrossFit, I knew it was something I wanted to make a career out of. So I got my CrossFit Level 1 on my birthday of 2013. I started as the head coach of a gym for about 5 years before buying the same gym I was coaching at the time and have owned the gym now since October of 2018. What keeps me going in CrossFit is without a doubt the community! Everyone is encouraging and positive and want to bring out the best in each other. People come from all different walks of life with different experiences and trials, to a place where they can come and do life together through fitness and becoming healthier and happier. Love you guys and can’t wait to see you in class!
