Eli Velluti-Fry

A proud case of Adult Onset Fitness, Coach Eli started with long-distance running before discovering CrossFit in 2021. After two years of learning, growing, and experiencing firsthand what it’s like to enter CrossFit without an athletic background, they stepped into coaching in 2023 with a passion for supporting others on the same path.

They joined Iron Legacy in February 2025 after moving to East Longmeadow and immediately found a community built on laughter, fun, hard work, and sweat. CrossFit has opened doors they never thought possible saying, “It’s given me the ability to do all the things chubby 5th grade me wanted to do in gym class but couldn’t.”

One of their favorite parts of coaching is helping athletes discover they’re capable of more than they ever imagined. Watching confidence grow rep by rep is what keeps them coming back.
