From Boston to Charleston, Coach Owen brings an abundance of CrossFit coaching and competition experience combined with an unbridled passion for consistency and community.
After watching him cue, coach and charm his way into our community, we just knew we had found the right person to help us continue raising the bar in the new year.
We are excited to welcome Coach Owen Bernstein to the Rhapsody CrossFit team!
FROM BOSTON TO CHARLESTON
Joining Team Rhapsody from Boston, MA, Owen essentially grew up in CrossFit. Beginning in 2011 at the ripe age of 16, he found himself stepping into his buddy Lloyd Rice’s box to get into better shape for the upcoming soccer season. After trying every program in the book, Owen immediately fell in love with the structure, discipline and results from CrossFit.

Evolving from a student to teacher, Owen started instructing fundamental classes in 2013 and continued coaching through college for Reebok CrossFit Back Bay, which is now part of Invictus Boston. Today he is a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer with more than 1,000 coaching hours and counting.
Beyond the box, Owen kicked off his career as a competitive CrossFit athlete making it to the CrossFit Games with Reebok CrossFit Back Bay in 2016. In 2018, he came back swinging with a rank of 194th in the CrossFit Open worldwide earning a spot as an individual in the North East Regional. Owen will also compete as an elite individual at CrossFit Strength in Depth in London, England this spring.
BEING BETTER INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE BOX
Fueling his fire for all things CrossFit, Owen is drawn to how this Rhapsody endeavor brings all sorts of people together in pursuit of a common goal: living their strongest, healthiest life. From fighting chronic disease to pushing us beyond our comfort zones, he is a firm believer that CrossFit will teach us to be better humans inside and outside the box.
As a coach, Owen is in your corner to help you understand the intricacy and complexity of each movement. His mission is to show you that consistent small steps culminate into obliterating your personal goals. Owen will be the first to tell you that there was a day when he could not squat below parallel or do strict pull-ups – with persistence and effort, you will slowly but surely get where you want to go.
With each and every workout, his motivation is to leave you better than he found you during the best hour of your day. As the newest member of the Rhapsody CrossFit in Charleston team, Owen is ecstatic to get in on the ground floor of our revolution to develop hungry, humble, happy athletes and be part of our contagiously positive community in relentless pursuit of the common goal of becoming our best selves.
