Head Coach
CrossFit Level 1 (CF-L1) Trainer

CrossFit Gymnastics Trainer

Norm’s CrossFit journey began in 2009 when a friend of his convinced him to check out CrossFit and see what it can do for him in terms of fitness. He has always been into working out and general fitness. In his younger years, his fitness background was basically being a member at several different gyms or just working out in the garage to gain muscle. He was doing more isolated, heavy weight workouts, rather than focusing on his core strength. As he started getting older, his focus on exercise started diminishing and his fitness and health was not a priority role in his life anymore. After seeing photos of him gradually gaining weight, he knew he had to do something about it. After his first CrossFit workout (WOD), he was instantly hooked. He feels that CrossFit workout is a new challenge that makes him stronger, faster, and better! CrossFit has pushed him harder than he has ever expected and continues to break through barriers and make positive gains in his journey towards “elite fitness.” Now in his 40’s, he is feeling 20 years younger, doctor says his test results are proof of his excellent physical condition, and he is feeling healthier than he has ever felt before.

Wilma
Coach
CrossFit Level 1 (CF-L1) Trainer

Wilma started crossfitting in January 2010 when her husband invited her to try it out one day.
With no real fitness background, except for the global gym membership almost
everyone had as a teenager, she was scared and hesitant to go with him because
of all the insane workouts he would come home and tell her about after his WOD
sessions. As he somehow convinced her to come, she was hooked from that day on.
Now in her 40’s, she is doing things that she would have never imagined ever
accomplishing in her lifetime and having so much fun doing it!

Genie
Coach
CrossFit Level 1 (CF-L1) Trainer

Genie started crossfit at the end of summer, 2011.  She had to be convinced by
her brother after quite a few weeks to at least go to one class.  Previously,
she had been accustomed to anything and everything competitive.  Having danced
since she was 4 and playing competitive volleyball since she was 9, she worked
her way to a full ride scholarship to several colleges all over the US.  She
ended up choosing California State University, Fullerton, where she ended up for
four years. One of those years (Oct 2008) she finally decided to have knee (ACL)
surgery on an injury that occurred one year before.  Having waited for so long
because of her dedication to her team, her knee was never really the same and
still had a lot difficulty with certain movements.  Through her rehabilitation
and pushing through pain, she came back to volleyball with a vengeance and even
her senior year, the CSUF Women’s Volleyball team won the Big West for the first
time and made it to the first round of the NCAA.  Also being a collegiate
athlete, she excelled at some olympic lifts and absolutely loved squats and
cleans.  WIth her knee still bothering her occasionally, she was nervous to join
crossfit.  She craved intensity and competition, and even if she had only been
out of the game of volleyball for a few months, it was just something that she
could never give up and also something that she could not find in any other form
of workout.  After taking her brother’s advice and trying crossfit when Crossfit
Live first opened up, she instantly fell in love.  Aside from feeling and
looking a lot more fit than ever before, she crossfits with little, to on most
days, no pain in her knee and has been able to conquer those movements that she
was previously cautioned to do.
