Douglas Bowen 
(Owner, Trainer, CF L1 Cert., Brand X Kids Training Cert.)
Douglas says coaching athletes, helping them with a challenging technique, or motivating them to push through a mental wall is what he loves. Watching an athlete succeed in something they thought they couldn’t is extremely rewarding for him, and it motivates him to be a better coach. He loves being in the gym and crushing his CrossFit soul with others.

Michelle Bowen 
(Owner, Trainer, CF L1 Cert., Brand X Kids Training Cert., Scaling Cert., Spot the Flaw Cert.)
Michelle's favorite part of coaching is "building relationships with people from all walks of life, supporting them, and pushing each other to get better—seeing these people get excited about overall health & fitness,"
