Training Philosophy:
TRAIN WITH A PURPOSE AND A GOAL!!
Background:
I have the usual background. I have been athletic all my life. Preferring to throw around the football with the boys rather than play dolls with girl cousins. However, even with my years of high school, college sports, and even teaching aerobics and weight training at local gyms, nothing has impacted my life like CrossFit.
I was introduced to the sport by a friend over 2 years and it went from there. I started with trainers that taught me the basic functional movements of CrossFit and became hooked every since. No.. i wasn't learning a lot of new movements, but the way that CrossFit puts together movements changed my whole outlook on fitness. I participated in workouts that took me to the next level of fitness. The exact thing I had been craving for. Through months of training, my love for CrossFit grew. I began to compete in competitions and absorb all that CrossFit stood for and reflected. Soon, with the background I already possessed, it was then I realized I wanted to train others to achieve workouts they never thought possible. My mission is to educate, motivate and inspire individuals to achieve personal goals. Whether that be to run a marathon, build muscle, lose weight or just become a healthy individual.
Opening this gym is my greatest accomplishment to date. Being able to do what I enjoy most and to teach others how to become healthier is a passion. Getting results matter to me. I take pride in being a CrossFit trainer and strive to stay true to my product as my gym grows. It excites me to be able to share CrossFit with you!

Background:
Donald’s journey into CrossFit began by accident 2 years ago. After spending a summer in Stillwater, Oklahoma flipping tires and swinging kettlebells, he decided to YouTube “tireflip workouts”. What he found on the sidebar was CrossFit this and CrossFit that. After seeing a WOD he knew this is the training he needed. He found a world he thought he’d never see and then one day, he got in. He found CrossFit Stillwater and his first workout ever: “McGee”. After lying in a pool of sweat he’s never looked back
Donald enjoys incorporating strongman elements such as tireflips/farmer carry/truck pushes/atlas stones as inspired by Rob Orlando. He also prefers HERO WODs due to their typical heavy loading

Training Philosophy:
"Don’t quit when you’re tired; quit when you’re done."
Background:
The first time I walked into a CrossFit box, I was ready to walk back out. I thought to myself, “There’s no way I’ll ever climb a rope, do pull ups or lift a barbell.” Now, almost a year and a half later, not only can I do all of those things, but I’m also helping other athletes achieve the same goals. I played softball competitively from the age of 6 on. As a kid, I also played basketball, ran track and cheered. On top of all of that, I took dance lessons, taught dance and competed in dance. Despite the physical and mental benefits of each, none of those sports compare to my experience with CrossFit.
After one month of CrossFit, I was hooked. My body started to change, as did my attitude. CrossFit made me competitive as an individual, but it also made me understand the importance of being in a team. I discovered what it felt like to push yourself to the point of physical and mental exhaustion, and then push yourself even more… and it felt great! I began competing in as well as judging CrossFit competitions. It didn’t take me long to decide I wanted to be certified and coach, and by October of 2012, I achieved that goal.
CrossFit has the greatest community of any sport. It’s the only sport where the crowd cheers the loudest for the person finishing dead last. It’s the only sport I’ve ever played where I’ve considered myself an athlete. I’m proud to be a coach at CrossFit Graffiti, and I only hope that I can continue to impart my skill, knowledge and that “CrossFit” sense of community to our members.

"To make any kind of progress, we need to imagine a different reality and believe it is possible" -Tali Sharot
Background:
I don’t have the “normal” athletic background that most people would think; however I have a passion for health and fitness that runs deep and has become a very important part of me and my family.
I was introduced to CrossFit by a very good friend in 2011. I started training 7 weeks after my second child was born. Twice a week trainings quickly grew to six days a week and my eyes were suddenly open to a new world and lifestyle. With the support and guidance of my trainer I was physically accomplishing things I never even imagined. Each workout was a challenge and the feeling of finishing and knowing I gave everything I had become addicted. I completely surpassed my goal of losing “a few pounds” and lost a total of 68 pounds in less than a year. It was through the motivation of CrossFit and full support of my trainer that I decided to take my fitness journey to another level; I opened my own Fit4Mom franchise in Sugar Land and continued forward to become CrossFit Level 1 Certified. My journey is not over. I will never stop learning, and taking in all I can from the CrossFit and fitness world. The greatest gift I was given was the confidence my trainer had in me to continue to pursue all the goals I had for myself. CrossFit has changed my life physically, mentally, and emotionally. I am inspired every day by each person I train and coach; my children give me strength to continue a healthy lifestyle.
I am committed to support and motivate each client I have and give them the tools for a lifestyle change. Every goal is achievable and my passion and purpose in life is to help others reach their health and fitness goals.

Background:
I've been involved in sports and fitness my entire life, from Soccer to Softball to Volleyball. I was introduced to CrossFit in 2011 and haven't looked back since. I live, breath, sweat CrossFit. Through all the sports I've been involved with, I've never been challenged physically or mentally the way I have with CrossFit.
