Thomas grew up in Minnetonka, MN, and took up weightlifting from a young age. Through the inspiration of his cousin, he developed a passion for exercise and all of the benefits that come along with it. After years of traditional bodybuilding and strength programming, he discovered CrossFit and began doing WODs in his garage. After a number of years of going at it alone, he decided to join a box and fell in love with the community and competitive nature.
I Love CrossFit Because…
“I love the variation in the movements and following a structured program. You’re not just exercising to exercise in CrossFit; you always have a larger goal in mind and there are endless skills and movements to perfect. You’ll never get bored because there’s always something new to improve upon.”
I Coach Because…
“I love helping people get better and achieve their goals. I’ve coached well over 5,000 classes and get energized every day being in the gym. Coaching people who want to work hard and push themselves to be something better is what fulfills my purpose in life!”
