I have been CrossFitting since February of 2006. In that time I have made more fitness gains and improved my quality of life more than I ever did in my 15 years of exercising prior to that. I want others to have this same experience, That is truly the main motivation behind my desire to train people. I want you to have the life changing experience that I had.
I have a sports background that started at age six and ended with a college baseball career at Oklahoma City University. I have been into exercising for fitness since I was fifteen years old. I have a bachelors degree in elementary education that I used for three years as a 4th grade teacher. I currently work full time as a Seattle Firefighter.
I have a passion for CrossFit. I feel that this passion coupled with my CrossFit training, education experience, sports background and my desire to see people move better gives me the right skill set to help you reach your goals.
I also desire to do things right. This carries over into my training which ensures that you will be taught the safest, most effective way to move in a workout and in life.
Finally, I believe that you should enjoy working out. I will help you regain that joy of exercise that most people have lost.

Level 1 CF Certified Trainer
CF Kids Certified Trainer
Charity is has been CrossFitting since November of 2006. She began a couple months after having our third child and quickly gained the best fitness of her life with much less time in the gym. That is really saying something considering the fact that she was a Level 9 gymnast growing up and a collegiate soccer player at Oklahoma City University where she graduated with a BA in Physical Education. After college she spent a few years as an ACE personal trainer at the Pro Sports Club in Bellevue before finding her passion as a fulltime mother. She is a gifted athlete and a skilled, caring and competent coach who can help you meet your goals.

Back in 2002, my 3-year-old daughter said to me: “Daddy, you’re fat!” I realized she was right. So I decided to change right then. I started running the next day. Over the course of the next 6 years I proceeded to spend TONS of time running, riding and swimming. I ran a half-marathon, a full marathon, a half-Ironman triathlon and a couple of Olympic-distance triathlons. I rode my bike 21 miles to and from work a few days a week. In this time I became “skinny”. Then one day, while riding my bike home from work, I was hit by a drunk driver. The crash broke my collar bone, herniated on of my discs and caused multiple abrasions that I still have scars from. Needless to say I was off the bike and laid up for a while. In that time I stumbled across CrossFit on the Internet. I was unable to do any of it since I was still far from being healed. But I read all about it and decided that it was what I needed to be doing. In March 2008 I ran across CrossFit Snohomish. I started training there with Jeff and haven’t looked back.
I believe that CrossFit isn’t just a bunch of random workouts, but is actually a way of life. Doing CrossFit has made me significantly stronger both physically and mentally. I now realize that I can do anything I set my mind to. As a trainer my goal is to help other people come to the same realization.
What about nutrition?
