In Central Texas born and raised, in the gymnasium is where he spent most of his days.  Hollow body, active shoulders, relaxin all cool; Doin back tucks and muscle ups outside of the school. Yeah, that was a Fresh Prince of Bel Aire intro…Epic.

Here’s the Cliff Notes: Subject Matter Expert for CrossFit’s Gymnastics Certifications. Loves longhorns and whiskey, hates unicorns and orange mocha frappachinos. More of a cowboy than a ninja, but still pretty light on his toes.

Here’s the rest of the “Gang”

Chuck Bennington

If it was up to Chuck, every WOD would be be constructed from heavy swings, deadlifts, cleans, front squats, swings, weighted pullups, or rowing. Dreaded WODs would include things with running and handstand pushups. Loves scotch,  brisket, and his wife. Hates hippies, construction, and bad drivers.

In no particular order, we come to: Brad Hasse
“I grew up playing competitive sports at a young age. My love of weightlifting, especially Olympic lifts, culminated during my high-school football years. I was introduced to Cross Fit in 2006 in the military and loved the blend of gymnastics, metabolic conditioning and weightlifting while emphasizing both intensity and technique. After four years of active duty in the 75th Ranger Regiment, I moved to Fort Worth, TX where I am now pursuing a bachelor of history degree at the University of Texas at Arlington.

My experience playing competitive football, track and field, and Ranger training has supplied me with a robust set of athletic and leadership skills I apply to strength and conditioning. My passion is to push people beyond what they think they can handle to come out on top a stronger athlete and more confident individual.”
