Meet the Team

Owner and Head Coach Christian Pedersen

Christian came to New Zealand in 2006 to play cricket and study strength and conditioning at the Otago Sports Institute. During his 3 years of study he fell in love with the country and the city of Dunedin. It has been his home ever since. He has been involved in the fitness industry for over 10 years. He completed his CrossFit Level 1 Certificate in 2012. It perfectly explained what he felt about fitness in general and he committed to using the methodology with all his clients to great success. He completed his CrossFit Level 2 Certificate in 2017 to improve his coaching even more.

His outgoing personality makes him easily approachable and he is always keen to share his knowledge and other experiences.

“I was grateful to earn some placement time at Southern Peak Crossfit late last year and was overwhelmed with the awesome community and great programing. As a coach I believe that hard work always pays off! I also believe that to talk the talk you have to walk it too. So its important I am working as hard as our members. Crossfit has pushed me forward leaps and bounds in my personal fitness and I believe it can do so for all people of all ages in our gym. I’m always up for a yarn about your fitness journey and will do my best to help”
