Brendan’s CrossFit story began in 2005 at the Original CrossFit gym in his home town, Santa Cruz, CA. He was one of the first five CrossFit Trainers EVER and worked directly with the founder of CrossFit, Greg Glassman until he opened his own affiliate in 2007.

I’ve been involved with CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting since early 2006. I fell in love right away. I took my first CrossFit classes at the original Black Box.. I’ll never forget the excitement and nervousness on my cab ride over.
