Hello everyone,

New Coach Jon here. That’s right i finally made it to full on coach! I would like to start by thanking all of you for your help and support along the way. I could not have progressed through the zones intensive apprentice program without the feed back of our members.
For those members that do not know me well i will share a little bit about myself. I have always been interested in the health and wellness field. I love the intricacies of the human body and its resilience and ability to adapt to its environment. This passion was elevated by my introduction to Crossfit. It has been through Crossfit that i have been able to overcome certain challenges that in a past life I would have never overcome. It has made me both mentally and physically stronger. For that reason I want to share my experience with others and help them to their goal.  Outside of the gym you can usually find me at Uvic, trying a crazy weight gain scheme, listening to music, walking my dog Hayden, or playing around in my marine fish tank.
I also want to thank the other Zone coaches for all of the pointers and lessons throughout my Crossfit career. See you all at the box!
P.s. I need a sweet nickname!
