Meet Zandr our Coach here at MT CrossFit. Zandr was very active in his youth, he spent most of his childhood inside the gym as he was a competitive gymnast. In his adult life he found CrossFit and fell in love with the methodology and the community it offered. CrossFit changed his life forever and he never looked back, since then Zandr has received his Level 1 & 2 and is constantly seeking to continue his education. He has a huge passion to help others, he knows firsthand what it is like to feel like you can not do something, or to be worried about trying something for the first time, and to feel intimidated by working out with others. This is what keeps him motivated as a Coach. His goal is to create a fun, welcoming space for all people to thrive in. He can’t wait to help you accomplish things you didn’t think you were capable of and to see that huge smile on your face when getting that lift for the first time or reaching a new personal record. Zandr thrives to make class the best hour of your day!

Adam has been coaching CrossFit for seven years and has pursued coaching to become CrossFit Certified Levels 1 and 2. He has a love of all things athletic and when not cheering on athletes at Mt. Tabor he can be found pursuing rock climbing, football, martial arts, bodybuilding, and any other new way to push his body to the limit.
