Coaches


Many times gym memberships are essentially a rental of space, time, and equipment.  At Stay Active CrossFit membership involves attentive coaching, dedicated programming, and superior results.  Below is an introduction to our coaching staff.

While in chiropractic college I learned a great deal about human mechanics, movement efficiency, and training theory that I easily related to my training mistakes of the past. While the desire to work hard comes from the heart one cannot ignore the success from working smart. Knowledge of the body, the repair mechanisms, and proper movement patterns allow great efforts to be truly rewarded.

There are many people in our society unhappy about how they feel, how they move, or how they look. While there are many factors in life over which we have no control, we DO have control over the decisions made in our own daily lives. All of these decisions whether seemingly big or small work to shape who we are and how we perceive ourselves.

 

Allow yourself the opportunity to take a chance and discover your true capabilities. I am living proof that athleticism is an acquired skill.  Regardless of your present or past ability I can help you work towards reaching your own goals and experiencing your own athletic potential.

Perfection of human movement is both my passion and my career. The display of control and grace under conditions of duress are what allow for both injury prevention and athletic dominance. Your fitness and life goals, whatever they may be, are achieved through the pursuit of perfection. To do this in a supportive community atmosphere, such as CrossFit Asheville, is powerful, inspiring, and successful. It is my desire to help you fulfill the mantra: Just Be Awesome.
