Teddy McClelland

Hi, it's coach Teddy! I was born in Rochester, Michigan, and grew up in Coldwater, Michigan. I  have a younger sister and an older brother! I grew up playing outside and playing all the sports possible as a kid. I was interested in horses when I  was 8 years old and fell in love. I started riding and showing them. When I got into high school, I played basketball and ran Cross-Country and  Track. Eventually solely focused on track during school and riding horses in the evening! You couldn't catch me inside the house! I became super competitive in both sports and was planning on continuing into College. My senior year I tore up my hip and those dreams and scholarships went away. Fast forward a couple of years, while still competing with horses I decided to move to Oklahoma after turning 21 to pursue my passion with them. I was training horses and working in the oilfield with the goal of going to the horseshoeing schools when a gym opened across from my house out of a barn in  Clinton, Ok. I hadn't worked out since leaving school and decided to give it a try to be in better shape for training horses. It didn't take long and I was completely consumed by CrossFit. My passion for training horses switched to training and helping humans! 2 years in and a buddy his wife and decided to open a  CrossFit gym that I was blessed to be able to help build and run. I started coaching and competing a lot which led me to meet my wife Madison and eventually move up to Mustang and join Koda Native!! I've been at Koda Native since the beginning of 2020 and have absolutely loved the community and passion that the leadership has built and shown.  After years of being in the community and building my own horseshoeing business, I was blessed with the opportunity to put the coaching hat back on and start coaching at this amazing gym that I call home! I have my CrossFit L-2, working towards L3. CrossFit Gymnastics cert,  Precision Nutrition certification, weightlifting courses, and continuing to be more educated and knowledgeable to help everyone in our community grow!
