Yuri Feito
Coach
Back in 2012, after months of reading and learning about this “new training program” I visited a friend in San Francisco who took me to my very first CrossFit workout. I thought it was in shape until that day! After my second workout (Randy) I decided this was the only way to get fit. As a perfectionist, I could not stand knowing that I was not very good at it, so I started training. My training has been diminished as a result of several injuries (not CrossFit related), but I’m back in the mend and looking forward to training and coaching again!
