About Hybrid Theory Athletics
Starting in a small garage in Sneads Ferry, NC in September 2013 we have always been dedicated to achieving, and helping others achieve, higher levels of human performance. From this humble beginning Hybrid Theory Athletics (HTA) was born. HTA is a veteran owned and family oriented business with a hands on approach and years of experience over many disciplines of sport and strength. HTA’s methods were born from a lifetime of athletic endeavors including countless hours in various gyms, courts, cages, and fields. Some of these endeavors were more successful than others, and from these experiences, strong opinions and passions were formed into a blend stretching across several disciplines that we are proud to share with our athletes today!
Through years of hard work and an incredibly supportive community, Hybrid Theory Athletics has grown into the premiere training force that it is today. Boasting over 7500 sq/ft. At Missing Link CrossFit we are also thrilled to offer our coaching to the Swansboro/ Carteret/ and Emerald Isle Communities at CrossFit Emerald Isle! We are constantly striving to grow and offer our athletes the best facilities, equipment, and coaching possible. We are always happy to take suggestions and improve our offerings to our community. If you have a suggestion or comment, please dont hesitate to reach out!
Since 2013 we are serving the community.

“Missing Link prioritized their members and our individual goals, never asking too much, but still always encouraging us to break out of our comfort zones. The coaches are extremely approachable. Among the coaches there is a vast knowledge base which allows Missing Link to offer more specialized training each and every time you go to a class. The support and guidance they provide constantly helps me to advance as an athletes as well as improve my sense in self.”
“This review is after training at Missing Link CrossFit 6 days a week for 30 days. The coaches and other athletes are great and very welcoming. I was only in town for a month and signed up to see what they were all about. The coaches at Missing Link gave me 100% from my first day until my last. I would recommend it to anyone living in or visiting the Jacksonville, NC area. I will definitely renew my membership and workout here when I return to this area.”
“I’ve been there. I’ve known that fear. I’ve known the anxiety of walking into a gym and feeling lost, like I didn’t belong and like every person had a right to be there EXCEPT for me. If sharing my picture somehow encourages or inspires you, then it was worth it. And if you just so happen to step foot into Missing Link (God knows I hope you do), I promise that you’re gonna have an entire community of athletes and coaches behind you every step of the way.”
“Dropped into Missing Link CrossFit today. Great family environment and great CrossFit atmosphere in general! I knew I was in for a great WOD when i discovered the foam rollers were PVC pipes wrapped in tape :). Both Casey and Allen were on hand to provide great tips and encouragement. Will definitely feel this tomorrow and will definitely be back for more before we leave for home.”
“I have dropped into CrossFit gyms over 8 states and 4 different countries and each one of them with similar culture dedicated to improvement and decimation of doubts and fears. To this day, I have never been in a more accepting, encouraging, and genuinely kind place. It’s the only sport in which people cheer the loudest for the last to finish. Every day I ask myself, “ Am I better than I was yesterday”? I am thankful to each and every person at Missing Link CrossFit for the extraordinary gift of helping guide me back to believing in myself!”
“I have tried to train, I have been turned away, I have never found a coach that knew what to do with me or that could see the potential that I had until I found Hybrid Theory Athletics/ Missing Link CrossFit. The coaches at Hybrid Theory Athletics were my “Missing Link”. Each day that I came back the coaches were totally excited to work with me and help me get back to the best me possible! Since then I have been able to accomplish things, I never thought possible. I am sad to leave but am thankful to coaches at Missing Link for helping me rediscover myself. ”
