CrossFit has been an incredible influenced in my life and as a coach at CrossFit Glendora, I hope that all athletes have the same positive experience as I have had with Crossfit. My focus is to create a positive environment for all athletes to feel comfortable and motivated. Building confidence is important in achieving goals, and at CrossFit Glendora, we encourage setting goals and help you work to achieve them. It is also important to show athletes how being strong and dedicated will better themselves not only in the gym, but in everyday life as well. Positive health communities that promote strength and hard work are my passion and I will continue to better myself in all surrounding fields to help make CrossFit Glendora the best place for all people who are looking for a great fitness community.

Credentials:

• CrossFit Level 1 Trainer
• 8 years experience working with competitive cheerleaders

CrossFit Coach

When I first walked into Crossfit Glendora in August of 2012 I didn’t know a thing about crossfit, but from the minute I walked in the door I knew this was the place for me. I immediately felt welcomed and a part of the community. I think everyone should have that same experience and I want to pay that forward to each person that walks in that door and help them achieve their fitness goals. I've played hockey, run track and cross country competitively since I was a kid. I enjoy running and endurance sports, but I know a lot of people don't so I want help everyone enjoy a lifetime of painless, injury free running.

Hi, I’m Katy. I am Crossfit Glendora’s Crossfit Kids coach. I have been coaching with the CFG team since 2013 and hold a Crossfit Level 1 certificate as well as a certification by the Crossfit Kids HQ Seminar staff and a Masters Degree in Kinesiology. I am a credentialed Physical Education and Adapted Physical Education teacher, and have been teaching for 8 years.

Working with student athletes has become my greatest joy. I love the willingness to learn and competitiveness that comes from athletes of all ages. On the field and in and in the gym I work to create a friendly, fun, and educational experience and love nothing more than to see my athletes succeed in the gym and in school.

CrossFit Coach / Gym Manager

Ben has been a CFG athlete since June 2012 and has been coaching since April 2014. His entire family (party of 6) has been active participants at CFG. He is a proud Michigan State Spartan, and his favorite Crossfit movements are pistols, muscle-ups, and anything besides burpees. why does he coach Crossfit? "I love seeing athletes grow inside and outside the gym, and hanging out with such an awesome group of like-minded people!"

As the oldest coach at Crossfit Glendora my mission is to show it’s never too late to find the best version of yourself. My mission as a coach at Crossfit Glendora is to lead and guide our members towards their many and diverse fitness goals. Even is your goal is just a better quality of life. I began my fitness journey as most kids through team sports like soccer, baseball , football, rugby, and have had a passion for training ever since. I spent decades in globo-gyms searching for a better way to train and maintain my level of fitness, and like most people I became complacent, bored, and feel into all my old bad habits. Then I walked through the doors of CFG and it was like I was reborn. I started Crossfit and was instantly hooked because of the encouraging team atmosphere, friendly competition, and a community of people that want a better and healthier lifestyle.
