Coach John ~ Hi I'm the owner and head coach at CrossFit Kalos Sthenos. I've been a personal trainer since 1999. When I started my training at 24 Hour Fitness in 1999 in my hometown of Billings Montana I instantly fell in love with it. Why? It was awesome to help people with their health and fitness goals. In 2000 I moved to Santa Clarita and continued with personal training. About five years ago I found kettlebells and shortly thereafter CrossFit. After doing my first CF workout 'Murph' I instantly fell in love with CF. It was a perfect fit for me having grown up doing gymnastics, distance running, and weight training. For the next few years I had been going back and forth from kettlebells to CF as I was training for the RKC (Russain Kettlebell Challenge). After completing my first RKC I started doing small group training. I've since also become a Level II RKC. I continued to train my groups on kettlebells up until 2010 when I felt my clients would benefit from more than just kettlebells. That is when I decided to get certified as a CrossFit coach. What's Kalos Sthenos. It's Greek for beautiful strength/movement. It's also the origin of the word calisthenics. The foundation to my training with all my clients for the past five years has been the Kalos Sthenos Turkish Get Up that I learned through the RKC system. At CrossFit Kalos Sthenos it is my goal for my people to first and foremost OWN the Turkish Get Up. Why? I've seen first hand in the past five years with hundreds of people the benefits of this ancient movement/exercise. Also I want all the CrossFit movements/exercises to be Kalos Sthenos, BEAUTIFUL MOVEMENT, BEAUTIFUL STRENGTH!
