Coaches

UNNUR MAGNÚSDÓTTIR

Owner & Head Coach | CF Level 2 Unnur grew up surrounded by some of the most dedicated CrossFitters in the world, and that environment shaped everything about how she coaches. She brings a professional, no-excuses approach to the box, always with a smile. Her philosophy? There's no such thing as bad weather, only being poorly prepared. Whether it's 6am on a rainy Tuesday or a Saturday partner WOD, Unnur will be there to show you that showing up is the hardest part, and that once you do, you're capable of far more than you think. As owner and head coach, Unnur has built CrossFit Valens into a premium box where high standards and genuine warmth go hand in hand.

AMER

Coach | BSc Sports Science Amer is our Bosnian golden retriever. Always smiling, always bringing the energy, and somehow always finding a way to make the hardest workouts feel like a good time. With a degree in Sports Science, Amer brings real knowledge to the floor. He's precise, methodical, and deeply invested in helping every athlete move better and get stronger. Don't let the fun exterior fool you. When it comes to technique and programming, Amer is meticulous. Off the barbell, he's the reigning captain of the CrossFit Valens Coffee Club and Ping Pong Club, both of which he takes just as seriously. Come for the coaching, stay for the challenges.

RAFAEL

Coach Rafael brings Brazilian sunshine and samba energy to everything he does at Valens. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely curious about every person who walks through the door. He's the kind of coach who will remember your name on your first day and your goals on your second. On the floor, Rafael will push you to go faster and further than you thought possible. Off the floor, he'll push you just as hard to join the team for a post-WOD gathering, inside or outside the box. Rafael is also our resident BBQ specialist. If there's a Valens event with grilled food, Rafael made it happen.
