More about Coach Drew

EXPERIENCE: CrossFit Level 1 Trainer

LIKES: music, photography, sneakers, cooking

‍

Drew’s CrossFit journey kicked off in 2018 — the same year he became a full-time music teacher and realized he didn’t have two spare hours to wander around the gym anymore. He needed something efficient, effective, and energizing... enter CrossFit. What started as a time-saving solution quickly turned into a passion. Sure, the workouts were tough (and still are), but it was the community that hooked him.

‍

By day, Drew builds confidence, discipline, and joy in his elementary music classroom. He challenges his students to dream big and believe in their ability to achieve anything they set their minds to. And in the gym? He brings that exact same mindset. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned athlete, Drew creates a training space where you can feel supported, ask questions, and push yourself — all while having a great time.

‍

With his CrossFit Level 1 certification, a background in education, and a naturally approachable style, Drew blends technical knowledge with a teacher’s touch. Expect encouragement, smart coaching, and yes… probably a playlist worth sticking around for.
