George, a very proactive guy contacted the gym a few weeks ago about becoming a coach at Southern Peak CrossFit. He told me about his credentials but I was more interested in who he was, because credentials will only get you so far. From speaking to George for two minutes and you instantly see a guy very passionate about training and personal development. He is very down to earth and super easy to talk to. He will be a great fit to the gym.
Originally from Wellington, George moved to Dunedin in 2016 to Study at the University of Otago. He is currently majoring in Exercise and Sports Science and completed his Crossfit Level 2 Certificate in 2017.
Having begun training in his early teens, George soon found Crossfit as ESPN ran a replay of the Sprint/Rope-Sled event from the 2012 Crossfit Games. It encapsulated every aspect of training that excited George; heavy weights, fast sprints and cool gymnastics. Outside of Uni and the gym George is an avid skier as well as a big fan of chocolate and dogs.
We have had George in for a couple of classes already and he has done really well. Looking forward to getting him more involved with the gym over time and he is very keen to get into more classes and meeting everyone.
