Coach’s Corner: Meet Coach Steven!

This month we’re catching up with Steven Bond, who joined Defined in 2022 and our coaching staff in 2024. Coach Steven will tell you he had little experience when he first joined our team — but what he may have initially lacked in formal coaching hours, he made up for in smiles, laughs, and overall good vibes.

Get to know more about Coach Steven — and how CrossFit helped him develop friendships, confidence, and real progress on his weight loss journey — in this month’s Coach’s Corner.
