Since reaching the biggest stage at the CrossFit Games for the first time in 2014, aged 24, few athletes anywhere in the world can claim to have been as consistently fit as American Noah Ohlsen, widely recognised as one of the sport’s most beloved stars.
It’s easy to see why. Since first taking up CrossFit in 2010, the Florida-based former water polo player only took four years to qualify for the CrossFit Games and since that 2014 debut until the 2023 edition he never failed to qualify for the event.
Top performer
Once there on the grand stage, Noah never finished lower than 16th place in the 10 years of competing and scored no less than three top four performances.
Among his greatest individual achievements were a runner-up finish at the 2019 CrossFit Games behind four-time champion Matt Fraser and his No.1 worldwide ranking during the 2016 season. Those results cemented his reputation as one of the fittest men on the planet.
Masters champion
As he entered a new phase of his career, Ohlsen successfully transitioned into Masters competition. In 2026, he captured the Men’s 35-39 title at the Masters CrossFit Games, finishing 52 points ahead of Scott Panchik to secure his first CrossFit Games title in his 12th appearance at the sport’s biggest event. Reflecting on the moment later alongside a photo with his medal and family, Ohlsen summed it up simply: “Doesn't get much better than this!”
New challenges
After more than a decade at the top of the individual rankings, Noah is taking on a new challenge – topping the global team rankings in CrossFit with his Peak 360 CrossFit team based out of the gym in his hometown of Miami.
Beyond CrossFit, Noah has also been part of the World Fitness Project, a professional functional fitness league that aims to bring greater structure and consistency to the sport through a season-long points system and live events.
