Justin Willis, Founder

Hey Everybody! I got my first taste of Crossfit in the Spring of ’08. It began when I was surfing the net and ran across the Nasty Girl Workout video, and felt compelled to try the workout myself. I immediately ordered some rings, built a chinup station, tried the workout, and immediately realized how unfit/unfunctional/pathetic my fitness level was. Functional exercises were what I thought I had been doing in my workouts, but wow was I wrong.

My training profession is all thanks to my participation in sports. I attended West Virginia University, where I was an invited walk on for the Baseball team. Spring of ’03, post my WVU era, I started started working at Explosive Performance, a speed and conditioning company based in Herndon, VA. In July of ’07 I left the company and started my own company which has lead me to this point in my life.  Since switching to CrossFit programming I have seen my athletes/clients’ fitness levels increase dramatically.  There has yet to be a plateau for any of them because there is always something new to attain or beat.
