Eli Bowe

Eli grew up in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, spent time living in Auckland, New Zealand, and completed his schooling in England. Sport has always been a huge part of his life. He played Aussie Rules Football, Rugby, Cricket, and a bit of English football (or “soccer” as we call it here). In his later years, he transitioned into track and distance running — something that still connects closely with his family today. Eli first came to Texas in the early 2000s, later returning permanently in 2012. Along the way, life took him across the globe — including time in Alaska and Singapore. His three sons were born in Australia, Anchorage (Alaska), and Singapore respectively. Now, his oldest is in college, with the younger two not far behind. All three have competed in high school track and cross country, continuing the family’s love for athletics. Eli began his CrossFit journey in Houston in 2015 and has been a member at several gyms throughout the Katy and Cypress areas. He joined CrossFit Katy in 2016 and quickly became a familiar face in the early morning classes, building strong relationships and a deep connection to the community before life temporarily took him further north. He has been coaching CrossFit for nine years and holds his CrossFit Level certification. Eli is passionate about continuing to grow his knowledge base and plans to pursue additional certifications in the future. His coaching style blends discipline, experience, and a bit of international perspective — and yes, the accent comes with it.
