Meghann Holloway – mholloway@arenalfitness.com

“I recently attended the CrossFit regionals in Pennsylvania and that sealed the deal so to speak for me. I am a full time police officer currently assigned as the fitness coordinator for my agency. I am also a certified personal trainer through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.  I have been CrossFitting for a few years but have never been affiliated with a box, unless the police academy counts, we do have rings, kettlebells and rowers so we aren’t that far off!  I am a CrossFit kettlebell instructor and am scheduled to attend the Level 1 cert in June. Since most of my daytime life is spent training recruits, starting from the ground up, I really enjoy working with beginners to intermediates.”

Zhan Caplan – zcaplan@arenalfitness.com - CrossFit Level 1 Certified Instructor

I like to think of my CrossFit experience as a journey, because I consider it a never-ending quest to become better, stronger, faster, fitter, and more confident in my abilities. I started this journey in late February 2010 with my first demo workout. After that, I knew I was interested, and signed up for Basics classes. In my first week, I remember asking other CrossFitters how often they come to class, and most were telling me 3 to 4 times a week. I thought they were crazy! But two weeks in, I was hooked, and upgraded to an unlimited membership. By the beginning of 2011, I knew that I wanted to share my incredible experience with others, so I decided it was time to get Level 1 certified. I’m now enjoying the best of both worlds – coaching others and helping them push past their self-imposed limits – while also continuing to learn from my fellow coaches and mentors. CrossFit has changed my life – both mentally and physically – and I love seeing others have the same experience!

Dawn Smyers – dsmyers@arenalfitness.com – CrossFit Endurance Certified Instructor

I’m a CrossFit Endurance Level 1 certified instructor whose passions include Ironman triathlon, building boats, coaching, and helping people do things they never thought possible. I can be seen jumping up and down like a banshee at the finish line of the Irongirl Triathlon cheering on my mentees and giving pointers during a WOD at Arenal. I’m also a triathlon coach, speed rope and plyo box builder, and jerky maker. If you need it, I will build it. I’ve been CrossFitting for about 3 years now and have never stopped hitting PRs. That’s the beauty of CrossFit and CFE…there is no ceiling. In the near future I plan on becoming a CrossFit Level 1 certified instructor to round out my level of bad-assed-ness.

Tori Weitzel – tweitzel@arenalfitness.com – CrossFit Level 1 Certified Instructor

My journey with CrossFit started with a great deal of resistance. I was a person who suffered from chronic cardio conditioning at a big “globo” gym, achieving little to no results. However, I did not see how CrossFit would be any different. After much debate, I decided to go through CrossFit Basics at Arenal Fitness. I understand this sounds cliche, but it was love at first sight. CrossFit gave me the intense workouts I was looking for, with the constant variation which kept daily workouts interesting. And the best part was the results that were achieved after putting in the work.

 

After about a year and a half of CrossFitting, I decided to get my Level 1 Certification, so I could share the passion I have for this sport with others. It is an amazing feeling to share this passion with others, and see when the instruction I am giving truly makes sense to another athlete.
