André

Coach

My CrossFit journey started in October 2016 while I was in San Diego. I walked past a CrossFit box, looked inside for a moment, and something immediately caught my attention. I went back a second time, and that was it — I had officially drunk the Koolaid. The passion has stayed with me ever since. From that day on, CrossFit became a steady part of my life. Over the years, I've grown as an athlete, always learning, improving my technique, and pushing my limits. In September 2025, I started coaching Weightlifting after a great conversation with Sandro. Not long after, I realized how much I enjoy coaching and helping members improve their Weightlifting skills. Weightlifting is one of my biggest strengths and passions. The precision, the technique, the discipline, and the determination you need for a good lift — and the feeling when you hit a perfect lift or a PR — it's something special. As a coach, I value clean, sustainable movement patterns and a strong technical base. I combine attention to detail with the right amount of motivation and push athletes when they need it. My strengths include a sharp eye for detail and my warm-ups — I always try to give my class something special and keep it constantly varied. For me, CrossFit is more than training. It's a way of life, and it's a place where people grow stronger physically and mentally.
