Chris Szymkowiak

Chris started CrossFit in 2012 and still loves it as much as the first day. Still putting in the work to improve his weaknesses. Chris loves the challenge and variation of the workouts that cf provides and most importantly he keeps coming back and stays committed because of the community.

Having played soccer, baseball, basketball, and volleyball in his youth, he found little success with big name gyms and at home workouts post college – then he found CrossFit and is still here! In 2024, Chris took the leap to get his L1 to start the next phase as a coach on his CrossFit journey. He is excited to have the opportunity to inspire other athletes and watch them grow, from a coach’s perspective. Chris is looking forward to giving his time back to his fitness community.

Outside of the gym, Chris is a forensic scientist in the DNA and drug testing labs. He can be found spending his time visitng local craft breweries and sampling their wares or heading down to the beach whenever possible.
