Johnny Whisman

Johnny graduated with a Computer Science degree from Northeastern State University (Tahlequah) in 2013. Since then, he has been a member of the Bartlesville community, working in IT for ConocoPhillips. He has had a passion for sports and outdoor activities . Since moving to Bartlesville, Johnny has participated in local Volleyball, Bowling, Golf, Softball, and Baseball leagues. Of all the sports, Johnny’s biggest passion has always been baseball. Johnny is one of the few Oakland A’s fans you will find in Oklahoma.


Johnny joined CrossFit Bartlesville in January 2021 and fell in love from day one. While being an excellent form of exercise, it also scratched a competitive itch. Johnny had dabbled in traditional globo gym weightlifting on and off his entire life, but never felt like he was becoming more athletic and healthy. He loves that the constantly varied nature of CrossFit not only makes you stronger, but also makes you more coordinated, faster, and generally better at everyday life. What Johnny believes is even better than that, is the community surrounding Crossfit. He loves seeing people learn to do things that they once thought impossible, and hopes that as a coach he can assist and encourage more people in doing just that.
