Calvin discovered Crossfit during his junior year of high school. He was playing varsity soccer at the time, and his parents started going to this new gym. He tagged along with his dad on a morning that he didn’t have practice and was hooked. After that, he took every chance he could to go to the gym with them, but it wasn’t until he moved to Santa Cruz and joined Crossfit Aptos that he got to fully embrace it. Growing up he played every sport imaginable – soccer and basketball were my favorites, but he also played baseball, hockey, swimming, and rugby, and he was a three-sport varsity athlete in high school. All that said, none of those sports challenged him daily as Crossfit does.

Calvin’s background in athletics fostered a love for health and fitness, which led him to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise Science. While in school, he also got his Level 1 certification and began to coach. Calvin’s favorite part about coaching is watching people surprise themselves with their own capabilities: their first handstand, pull-up, or double under, and the look on their faces when they realize they have just done something they never thought was possible.
