Brendan Gilliam

About 5 years ago I was taken under the wing of Coach Greg Glassman ( founder of Crossfit ) and spent well over a year as his apprentice absorbing all of his knowledge. I spent the entire time applying everything I was learning about gymnastics, Olympic lifting, metabolic conditioning etc... into my full time training schedule. Since then I have traveled the country with Crossfit, certifying others to become trainers while working alongside some of the very best coaches in the world. I have even spoken in front of large groups.
Today I bring over 10 years experience as a strength and conditioning coach. I specialize in building the fittest, most dominate athletes anywhere. I have an extensive back round in conditioning high school athletes, Fire Fighters, and Military (navy seals, rescue jumpers, marines). One of the reasons I have found so much success as a trainer is because of my unmatched passion for what I do. I have all the skills and technical know how to achieve any goal you may have, but just as importantly I have a talent in bringing out the very best in people.
I am now one of the three owners of Crossfit North Santa Cruz. My other passions in life are surfing, jiu jitsu, and just about anything with my girlfriend Shari.
