In July, we added Brian to our coaching team! Here’s his coaches spotlight.

Pronouns:  He/him

1. What got you into fitness?
Following an injury, I found fitness as part of my journey of recovery and as I got more into it, the things I was told I would never be able to do suddenly became possible.

2. How long have you been a coach? 
A few months at Novem. (Does coaching soccer and baseball to young kids count :P)

3. What’s your favorite thing about coaching at Novem?
Hands down the people and the community. Even when you are up at 5am, seeing and interacting with the Novem members makes it worth it. 

4. What is your Athletic background?
I ran track in high school and rowed in college. I started CrossFit in 2016. 

5. Tell us one thing about yourself that no one in the gym knows about you.
Although my education has been primarily in cell biology, I trained as a painter and a printmaker in college.

6. Favorite Benchmark or Hero WOD:
The Chief

7. Favorite lift?
Squat Clean

8. How has fitness impacted your life?
Fitness has become a staple in my day to day life, providing stress relief and continuing to challenge me physically and mentally.

Congratulations to our Fit athlete of the month for September, Ben!

Here’s a little more about Ben:

1. What got you into CrossFit?
Starting in high school, I used to spend 2+ hours in the gym daily and eventually started feeling like I wasn’t actually getting anywhere. CrossFit started gaining popularity and after stumbling upon the Games one year, I decided to try out a “functional fitness” gym in Hoboken. It’s been 8 years since and I continue to be a huge proponent of the CrossFit/functional fitness style routine.

2. Name a fitness goal that you have.
My 2026 goal is to sn**ch 200 #. Also really hoping to maintain some semblance of fitness/keep dad pounds off after our little guy is born.

3. Tell us one thing about yourself that no one in the gym knows about you.
My first language was Russian. My family came to the US from Ukraine shortly before I was born. I still understand household Russian but don’t speak it too well at all.

4. What is your Athletic background?
I played football throughout high school.

5. Favorite Benchmark, wod, and lift.
Benchmark: going to go with Grace because it’s over quickly.
WOD: something with gymnastics, heavy Oly, no running, quick, and built in rest!
Lift: sn**ch

6. How has CrossFit impacted your life?
Aside from the health and fitness benefits, CrossFit helped me believe that with practice you can learn something new and see progress. New things are hard until they’re not anymore, then it’s your choice if you want to stop there or try something more difficult. The only way to get better (if that’s your goal) is to do the hard stuff. This isn’t true just with CrossFit—it applies to everything in life!
