About Coach

Hello, I'm Neil aka the one who sounds funny and people struggle to understand. Originally from the UK but moved half a world away to New Zealand where I met my wife, Ashton who bought me to Scottsdale. Father to our amazing little daughter, Scottie Jae ❤️ along with our crazy pup, Ollie and lazy ass cat Oscar. Love fitness, love barbells, do not like sit ups or burpees...

My Why

I've been in the fitness industry for most of my life because I’ve seen how much it can improve people’s overall health and quality of life. When I found CrossFit, it took everything I knew about fitness to another level. The structure, the community, the results...it just worked. That’s when I knew this was something I wanted to be a part of long-term. Fitness is awesome.

Favorite WOD / Movement

Favorite movement - Squat Snatch

Least favorite movement - Sit Ups (stupid things)

Fun Facts

I just hit 335lb clean as of yesterday.

And I hate/suck at sit ups.
