About Us

As science makes new discoveries and as humans push their bodies to new limits, we find new ways to perform and live better. It is for this reason that I chose to devote my energies toward fitness and bodywork.

My interest in health and fitness goes back to the mid-nineties after surviving and recovering from a traumatic near-death experience. In an interest to heal myself and others, I went to the Swedish institute of massage therapy in New York city where I graduated and in 1997 became a New York state licensed and certified massage therapist.

As time progressed, my fitness journey took me down many paths: from heavy weightlifting to vinyasa yoga to tai chi, chi gong and kung fu. From all of those modalities and styles, though wildly different, I was able to take away something positive to incorporate into my personal fitness and bodywork regimen.

However, I still had not found the one; the fitness program that would cover all the bases – strength, flexibility, agility, stamina, accuracy, speed, etc. That was until CrossFit came along

When I encountered CrossFit and began researching its training methods, I saw the crystallization of all the elements that I had attempted in the past! The strength from weight training, the flexibility of yoga, the core-to-extremity dynamism of the internal martial arts were all combined into a unique, intense and decidedly functional fitness experience.

From my first CrossFit workout, I was hooked! I realized pretty quickly that I wanted to pursue the coaching path, open a gym, and bring CrossFit to the people of the Rutland area.

In addition to my massage therapy licenses and certifications, I am proud to have achieved the level of Certified CrossFit Trainer (Level 3), being among a small handful of such trainers in New England.

I also hold advanced certifications in sports massage, neuromuscular facilitation, and myofascial release and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I will perpetually search for ways to achieve optimum health. By staying current on the proven training principles and practices of CrossFit, perfecting my own skills, bettering my coaching team and our client-athletes, we can rest assured that the lives of all we touch can be made better.
