CAL VAN CONANT, OWNER/HEAD COACH
I started CrossFit back in 2012, and within the first week I told all of my family and friends that this was what I wanted to do. I love coaching CrossFit for so many reasons - whether it be the competitiveness it brings out in the quietest of people, the variance of the workout (heavy, light, fast, long), weightlifting, or gymnastics. Its always something new! But the gratification that I get from watching someone pick up their feet and truly run to finish a workout (especially when you know where they started and how far they have come) gives me goosebumps. Its those kinds of things that lays the foundation to build an unmatched community. A community that keeps you consistent, pushes you, inspires you, and makes you stronger. As a coach, I hope to have this effect on all our members!
TAYLOR Van COnant, OWNER/COACH
For as long as I can remember, I have always been active. I grew up with 4 brothers so knowing and playing sports was expected. In addition to playing sports, I was also in gymnastics and dance. During college I played around with activities such as cycling, triathlons, and swimming. Unfortunately, those did not stop me from gaining the dreaded "freshman 15" (or 20 I don't remember). So during my last winter break of college I decided to give CrossFit a try. After my first class, I knew I was going to love it! When I finished school, I took a big chunk of my graduation money and signed up for as many months of CrossFit as I could.
Since I've began CrossFit in 2012, I have learned to stop trying to be what society thinks you should be and start loving your body for every curve you have. I attained my CrossFit certificate so that I could help others push themselves to their greatest potential and to help them love themselves!
ZACH SHORT, COACH
I have been doing CrossFit since June of 2017. Prior to this, I played competitive travel ice hockey for 10+ years and have been in gyms for as long as I can remember. Sports and fitness is a huge part of my life!
What makes CrossFit stand out is the community, competition, and pure results. There truly is nothing like it in the world.
I now have the privilege to interact with our members to help make fitness one of the best parts of their day!
