With over 13 years of coaching experience and more than 10,000 hours on the floor, Coach Chans Porter brings a rare combination of expertise, precision, and passion to the TTRU Fitness team. As the Owner and Head Coach of CrossFit Unknown since 2012, Chans has built his career on helping athletes of every level reach their potential, from CrossFit Games competitors to members achieving their first ring muscle-up.

A CrossFit Level 3 Coach, Chans has continued to invest deeply in his craft, holding advanced certifications in CrossFit, Football, Mobility, Aerobic Capacity, Weightlifting, Gymnastics, Kettlebell, and the CrossFit Competitors Course. His foundation in education and movement is supported by an Associate’s Degree, but it’s his relentless pursuit of mastery through hands-on experience that sets him apart.

Like Coach Conway, Chans thrives in both worlds, developing high-level competitors while also guiding everyday athletes to break through barriers, refine their movement, and transform their lives through training. His coaching philosophy is built around precision, purpose, and long-term progress.

If you ask Chans what his favorite part of coaching is, he’ll tell you without hesitation, “Programming or breaking down someone else’s programming.” He’s a true student of the art and science behind training design and is passionate about helping athletes understand how intentional programming creates intentional outcomes.
