I have been a certified personal trainer and Spinning instructor since the mid 1990's. I enjoy helping people meet their fitness goals.
Fast forward to a couple years ago. I discovered CrossFit. I was first introduced to a few different CF WODs by friends at work. They were addictive. I sought out Jen Cereghino at CFOC. And got into a modified on ramp. I say that because she taught me ( a class of one). I started, and quickly fell in love with both the post-WOD feeling, but especially the camaraderie, everyone cheering for the last person to finish ( sometimes me).
Six months later I'm in a level 1 certification, and excited to hopefully get to do a little coaching.
I have been regularly coaching for about 6 months. I love it! I look forward to my days off from the Firestation to coach and perform the WODs .
It is really inspirational to me to see somebody get a lift or a movement they couldn't before. Every first or PR really is important, not only to the athlete, but also to your coach. Seeing athletes progress from new to experienced to seasoned is really awesome.
Sometimes the joy is due to a group after hearing me yell " one more minute give me all you've got" Or "finish hard!".I see them all pick up their pace and really give there all.
Thanks for letting me coach you. CFOC athletes you are all amazing.
