I've always enjoyed sports from a young age and started working out in High School when my idolization of Arnold Schwarzenegger really kicked in. I kept working out while running cross country and track all through high school and that eventually evolved into more CrossFit-style workouts like mixing in pushing jeeps across parking lots and carrying odd objects up and down the bleachers.
I have had my share of ups and downs and non-CrossFit-related injuries. Eventually, I moved to Baltimore and joined the local CrossFit gym as a way of meeting new people. The sense of community and competitive workouts have kept me coming back for more for about ten years now. I started coaching in 2018 and started a whole new journey of getting to pass on something I am passionate about to others.
My motto is "you gotta keep moving to keep moving". My goal is to have every athlete who comes through the Whitewater doors whether trying CrossFit for the first time or thousandth time walk out those doors moving better than when they first came in.
We understand how intimidating it can be to get started on a new fitness journey. But don't worry! We were all once the "new person." It's a scary thing- we get it. But at WCF, we foster a community that is inclusive, compassionate, and empowering. You will never feel alone.
All of our trainers have (at least) an up-to-date CrossFit Level 1 Certificate. We require every coach to go through our thorough on-boarding program and demonstrate proficiency in their craft before ever taking the floor.
We believe in supporting people who are ready to take action and give them everything they need to crush their goals. It's why our members keep coming back for more.
