When training his members, he loves to “Reach deep inside and pull out a person that they didn’t know existed.” It’s building members’ confidence and helping them reach their goals that he’s most passionate about in the gym. “I am humbled daily by the CrossFit community and the amazing people it attracts,” he says. “I feel super grateful for this opportunity to do what I love.”

Mike Whalen
COACH
CrossFit Level 1,
Previously a licensed school counselor.
Starting a double masters program in the fall at Mount Saint Joesph University for Organizational Leadership/MBA
Mike has been doing CrossFit for about 2 years and has always been active in sports for as long as he can remember: football, baseball, basketball, track, racquetball, golf, and now Crossfit and Powerlifting!
He is passionate that fitness can be anything we want it to be, from a simple walk down the street to muscle up training. There is always something we can work on to get better. People who accomplish something they didn’t believe they could do, that look of pure joy in the moment the goal is met is what inspires him most.
His favorite quote is “I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying.” Tim Robbins – Shawshank Redemption -Any interesting facts about yourself? I share a birthday with my wife and my dad, November 14th.
