In search of a challenging and rewarding career, I wanted to combine my U.S. Army training, my experience as an athlete in strength and conditioning training, as well as my interests in kinesiology and nutrition. I completed my International Fitness Association certification and became a personal trainer in 2008. I was accustomed to the “traditional” gym experience where sets and reps were all that mattered. An hour of weights and 45 minutes of cardio became my comfort zone and I thought I was in shape. I spent years lifting weights with very good results, but it wasn’t until I discovered CrossFit that I began realizing my body’s full potential. Within weeks of trying the workouts, I was hooked. So much so that I knew I wanted to open my own CrossFit affiliate and share my knowledge and experience. Now, I’m realizing my dream and helping people look and feel better along the way.
