CF-L2

Coach

As a CrossFit athlete, Mohammed was ‘made in CFM’. He went through foundations and regular classes. He practices yoga 1-2 times a week, and he has been a member of barbell club since November 2017.  He became a coach in 2019 and has been invaluable to CFM’s success and quality coaching since. He always welcomes members with a friendly face and genuine “How are you?” 

High-quality coaching in his own words::

To me (and I am sure to many other members), CFM is a very special place because of 1) the exceptional coaching/programming and 2) the amazing community. I do not think those are unrelated. I believe exceptional coaching will undoubtedly yield a better community. CFM coaches know their athletes pretty well and they truly care for their well-being and fitness. I believe this coach-athlete relationship is the foundation of our CFM community. Not only do CFM coaches have excellent interpersonal skills, but they are also extremely knowledgeable about CrossFit as a fitness regimen and sport. CFM coaches are constantly seeking to learn more about CrossFit and be better at their jobs. 

No matter how my day went, coming to the gym every afternoon is the biggest stress reliever and comfort zone. Great programming and exceptional coaching, but most importantly, amazing people. I made so many friends at CFM over them years, and I continue to make friends as more and more members join. CFM is not just a training ground. It is a true embodiment of the CrossFit values, where fitness is a way of life, and not just about working out. From nutrition challenges to regularly scheduled events, CFM advocates for fitness and health inside and outside the gym. I have been to other CrossFit gyms while on travel, but I never experienced the atmosphere of CFM. It is a truly special place to me.
