Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Oh, we're going to have a good time! You're going to get stronger, move better, and love me (and yourself) for the fitness journey we're about to take. As the owner and principal at CrossFit V16 and previously the most popular trainer at CrossFit East Bay, I have accrued thousands of hours in teaching all things CrossFit (kettlebells, sandbags, barbell movements, medicine balls, and basic gymnastics) as well as countless moments where I've motivated clients to perform at levels they thought were beyond them. I create workouts specifically with my clients in mind. I won't throw things at you that you can't do. Instead, I will start you at an achievable level and continue to push you from week to week, so that you can experience noticeable growth. ("I couldn't do that last week!") You will be challenged but not overwhelmed. Let's do this!

Raf was my first coach in crossfit and been one of the best I've had so far. He's very dedicated to his clients and understanding the level they are at and pushing them to just beyond that. Hes got a great attitude about why you're doing what you're doin and how to keep that in perspective. In addition, he enforces great behavior around cleaning up the gym and respectfulness to the equipment. The only reason he isn't a 5 star is that I don't believe he's an elite weightlifting coach (yet). He's constantly working on it and striving to do better. He got me started with Oly and was fantastic. The thing I admire most about raf is he's got a beginner mind that is always open to new ideas and techniques. I have no doubt that within a short amount of time he could certainly be considered one of the best in the biz.

I have been working with Raf for almost 2 years. He is a great coach and a great guy. Excellent programming and very good use of limited facilities/resources. Highly Recommended.

Rafael is a patient and knowledgable coach. I only started 6 months ago and he's made my wife and I feel welcome and comfortable. He works within your physical and mental limits while subtly pushing you to achieve new ones. I've gotten stronger, more agile and am in better condition than I have been in a long time.

I've been to several CF boxes and have experienced numerous coaches, if even for a day or two. I can honestly say Raf is committed to all his clients, be they regulars or visitors. Thoughtful and thorough, Raf gives sound advice when needed, pushes and encourages everyone accordingly, and will try his absolute hardest to make sure that everyone gets the most out if every class. Approachable, always welcoming, easy to talk to. Highly recommended.

Raf is a huge part of why I'm now addicted to Crossfit. I never thought it was a lifestyle I would want or enjoy. Raf is a patient, thorough and motivating coach. He knows how to encourage and when to push you. I highly recommend him as a coach.
