Performance Coaches’ Bios

There are facilities, similar to ours, that are well known for grabbing random acquaintances and clients, and then overnight making them trainers based entirely on their looks and how many people they may know. The concept resembles bad high school drama as trainers need to be relieved for incompetence, arrogance, promiscuity and immaturity. You, the client, are left holding the bag as these “Shake ‘n Bake” trainers roll through constantly. You may find them in a beginner’s program with you as a client only for them to be “deemed” a trainer within weeks. These trainers are green, immature and they don’t know you, nor their craft. Focused more on their image, the latest immodest (if not vulgar) clothing styles they are wearing, and gossipping with other staff members about who is sleeping with whom leaves their attention on shallow interests rather than your interests. These poisonous situations leave you highly vulnerable to injury from inappropriate relationships, a drama rich environment, poorly designed programming, weak understanding of biomechanics, and a lack of knowledge and unwilling/unable to care to your development.
Below, you will find the finest people we know. These are mature adults and people of noted character. Character matters. They are made up of small business owners, members of service organizations, Military Veterans, Law Enforcement, First Reponders, and active church-goers. All of our trainers are married and almost all have multiple children. They have all shown the heart to take up the mantle of responsability and go throught the grueling paces of our trainer program and come out the other side, authorized to work with CrossFit Prescott clients. They have demonstrated advanced knowledge and have met testing requirements far beyond those that CrossFit Inc. demands. Internships for months as an apprentice applying knowledge uder our critical eyes. Harsh, but fair assesments of their performance. They are under strict guidelines as to conduct with clients with respect to the client’s current capability.
We know of no other facility that takes much care and applies such rigid standards to the coaching staff of a facility such as ours. This selection process serves you well. Their behavior around your family members will be beyond reproach. Their care of your training experience will be beyond expectation. Their display of professionalism will be beyond question. They are here because they know that meeting our standards means they will beregarded as superior trainers by their peers. They are here because we treat them like family. They are here, because they care about you.
We are truely proud of our Coaches. You deserve the higher standards we have set. These hand-picked, and highly selected, individuals stepped up to the challenge and met them.
