Chuck M.

Business Owner

I was introduced to CrossFit in 2006 while deployed to Iraq. Since then, other ways of working out just made no sense to me. I have been coaching CrossFit since my Level 1 Certification in August 2009 at first to my friends and colleagues in Szczecin, Poland and later while deployed to Afghanistan. I have just finished 21 years in the U.S. Army before deciding, along with Nicky and our new son Max, to make Arizona our home. To me, CrossFit is more than an excellent strength and conditioning program but a vehicle for building a community of people dedicated to optimizing their own and each other’s well being. It’s powerful stuff and I love nothing more than to share it with others.
