Mikhail Quijada

I started CrossFit in 2011 and have been a member of CrossFit North Scottsdale since 2023. The dramatic improvements to my overall fitness, the wealth of nutritional knowledge I’ve gained, and the lifelong friendships I’ve built over the years have made CrossFit the single most impactful activity I’ve ever experienced. It’s more than just a hobby, it’s a way of life, and I can’t imagine my life without it.

I initially became interested in coaching as I looked for ways to improve my own knowledge and abilities. Along the way, I discovered how rewarding it is to help others improve, share what I’ve learned, and contribute to the same kind of community that has given me so much over the years. I’m excited to continue learning as a coach and to see what the future holds.

My favorite movement is the squat clean and my favorite WOD is Cindy.

I've survived 2 IEDs. I really should be dead! Still not convinced I'm not.
