Certified CrossFit Trainer Head Coach
Ģirts Spura
About the Coach
Ģirts Spura is the only Certified CrossFit Trainer (CF-L3) in Latvia. With over 10 years of coaching experience, his goal is to help busy people get stronger, leaner, and more confident — without wasting time or energy on confusing fitness trends. His main expertise is CrossFit methodology.
Turning Point
Over 15 years ago, when Ģirts realized he was in terrible physical shape, access to quality coaching in Riga, Latvia was almost nonexistent. Especially for the general population. Most coaches worked only with competitive athletes, and it was nearly impossible to find someone who would help you get fitter, healthier or move better. Even worse – no one looked, no one cared. If your goals weren’t tied to high performance or medals, you were on your own.
Over the years, things have changed, especially when CrossFit began to gain its momentum, bringing in top quality education programs for coaches. This shift helped raise the overall standard of coaching, and created new opportunities for aspiring trainers. However, even today, high-quality, coach-led training remains hard to find in Riga and its surrounding areas – particularly for everyday people seeking long-term health and support rather than competition.
Back then in 2012, Ģirts decided to become the coach he couldn’t find. First for himself, and eventually for others. And now that decision has led to the creation of Golden Hour CrossFit. A place built for everybody. For anybody. With clarity, structure, and coaching that actually works.
Motivation & Passion
Ģirts is passionate about helping everyday folk. Not just professional athletes. His mission is to simplify fitness, cut through the noise, and guide people toward lasting progress. He works best with "busy people, parents, and anyone who's tired of guessing and is ready to train with purpose. His coaching style is direct, supportive, and rooted in years of personal experience.
“You don’t need to know everything. You just need a professional who guides you and who genuinely cares.”
