Meet Our Team

Jessie Kwasney

Fitness has been a cornerstone of my life. I spent 10 years in the U.S. Army, where one of my primary roles was running physical training programs. That experience shaped how I coach today: intentional, disciplined, and focused on building people up—physically and mentally.

I have spent over 12 years training people for weight loss, general health and wellness, military performance, endurance sports, physique, hunting prep, and other strength based activities like CrossFit.

I found CrossFit in 2013, and it completely changed how I viewed training. I fell in love with the methodology, the challenge, and the community. Since then, I’ve competed in CrossFit competitions, obstacle course races, ultramarathons, and Olympic weightlifting, always chasing growth and pushing my limits.

Outside the gym, you’ll usually find me in the wilderness—bow hunting, backpacking, running, and spending time where things are simple and honest. That same mindset carries into how I coach: do hard things, stay consistent, and respect the process.

Opening a CrossFit gym has been a goal of mine for over a decade. This isn’t just a business to me—it’s a calling. My passion is training people and helping them become the strongest, healthiest, and most confident versions of themselves.

I believe deeply that you are capable of far more than you think. My job as a coach is to help you see that, prove it to yourself, and carry it into every area of your life.

I’m incredibly excited to build something special here and to be part of your journey.

Chantelle Kwasney

I was born and raised in Montana, and for most of my life, it has been my dream to build a business in the community I love. Through my experience managing operations, social media, and bookkeeping for a variety of businesses in Missoula, I developed the skills and knowledge needed to oversee the behind-the-scenes operations of Wilderness CrossFit.

I discovered CrossFit when I started going to the gym with my husband, and I quickly fell in love with the workouts, the challenge, and, most importantly, the community. The support, accountability, and friendships that CrossFit creates are unlike anything else. I am excited to help build Wilderness CrossFit and foster a community of people who are committed to improving their health, fitness, and quality of life.

Outside of the gym, I am a proud mother to our wonderful daughter. I am especially passionate about creating opportunities for parents—particularly moms—to prioritize their own health and well-being. My goal is to help make Wilderness CrossFit a place where people from all walks of life feel welcome, supported, and empowered to become the best version of themselves.
