Pete — Coach
Pete brings relentless energy and enthusiasm to every session — equal parts coaching cues, encouragement and hype when you need it most. A CrossFit enthusiast with a soccer background, he's most at home with anything overhead and on the rig — snatches, pull-ups, chest-to-bars and muscle-ups are his happy place. A vegan, middle-aged dad of two, Pete is living proof that the right training — and reportedly the right smoothie — keeps you competitive at any age.
