ZACH GREENWALD, CrossFit Level I Certified Coach

Zach was brought up by very active parents, with whom he frequently participated and celebrated in outdoor activities and sports. This environment fostered a passion for fitness, which, when fueled by his dedication to play collegiate baseball, became omnipresent.

Upon entering college at Elon University in 2009, Zach left behind his baseball pursuits to explore the game of rugby, and to improve upon his overall fitness. During his freshman year at Elon, a friend on the rugby squad introduced Zach to CrossFit, and after his first workout, he was sold. Not only did he ditch the traditional fitness routine, but he also left Elon, as a history education major, to transfer to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he is now studying Exercise and Sport Science.

CrossFit highlights Zach's current education and his passion for coaching and competing, both impersonally and head-to-head. When he is not training or coaching,  he can be found reading, studying, eating and spending time with his amazing girlfriend. Zach believes in this programming and in this community wholeheartedly. As your coach, his interest is in promoting your well being and advancing your knowledge and fitness through this awesome sport!
