Coach Spotlight: Coach Cale Bonner

Each month, we’re spotlighting one of our incredible coaches so you can get to know the people who make The Spot what it is. This month, we’re kicking things off with Coach Cale Bonner, who’s been a part of The Spot family since Spring 2025! Cale shares what drives him as a coach, and a few things you might not know about him outside the gym.

Where are you from and where did you go to school?

I'm from Perrysburg Ohio, located just south of Toledo where I went to Perrysburg High School. I went to college at Ohio University in Athens.

What is your background and what got you into working out?

Having 2 Older brothers (5 and 7 years older) really set me up for success athletically as they got me into as much they could. Football, Wrestling, Lacrosse, Rugby and Skateboarding were all significant in my upbringing. Lifting heavy weights for football helped for strength and wrestling helped me develop muscular endurance and cardiovascular health.

How long have you been Coaching at The Spot and what is your favorite part about working at The Spot?

I've been at the spot for almost a year now, and my favorite thing about working here is being able to connect with a community of friendly, hard working people. Having a large space where I can express myself through movement and play has been a lot of fun as well. 

What do you like to do when you aren't Coaching or training?

I enjoy getting outside with my dog, seeing live music/playing guitar, yoga, disc golf, and exploring walkable neighborhoods/parks around the city.

Would you share with us one of your favorite quotes?
