Our coaches are just that, COACHES. We are set apart by the fact that we are coaches by profession, and dedicate our lives to our athletes. At CrossFit Moxie that is exactly what you should expect: dedicated people who care about nothing other than educating, motivating, and caring about YOU.
As coaches for San Jose State University Division 1 Athletics, we first brought CrossFit to our programs and have seen, and are continuing to see amazing results! After benefiting our athletes, we realized the importance to bring general health and fitness through hard work to the masses. That is why we decided to open CrossFit Moxie.
