GUEST:
Discovering CrossFit in November of 2005 was a life-changing event for the former Division-I athlete. For years, the standard bodybuilding/cardio model of “fitness” was all he knew. Reading Greg Glassman’s breakthrough article, “What is Fitness”, changed everything. Since then, Variance, Functionality, and Intensity have been the cornerstones of his life.Training privately since 2006, Justin has accumulated countless hours of experience working with hundreds of athletes in parks, in gyms, on tracks, and in his garage. Justin continues to train exclusively out of his garage to this day. He currently resides in Sarnia, Ontario with his wife and three sons.

INVITÉ:
Passionné de rugby depuis mon tout jeune âge, j’ai décidé de me lancer dans des études de préparation physique après une expérience sportive d’une année en Nouvelle-Zélande. J’ai découvert une approche différente de l’entrainement, sur et en dehors des terrains, basée davantage sur l’aspect ludique et l’expérimentation du jeu que sur la compétition. Au fur et à mesure des années, mes connaissances se sont approfondies et mon ouverture d’esprit s’est agrandie. Je suis sans cesse à la recherche du petit détail qui pourra vous faire progresser ou vous soulager dans votre vie quotidienne. Je crois en cette méthode d’entrainement innovante, efficace et intergénérationnelle qui m’a moi-même fait grandir après de nombreuses blessures et qui a changé définitivement ma vision de l’approche sportive et du mouvement dans son intégralité. Rugby : CSBJ, st Savin, Poneke, Rumilly, GEPLO, Nyon, USPGex…
