He has also competed in other sports such as cricket, tennis, swimming and athletics and spent many summers serving as a Surf Lifesaver volunteer at Venus Bay.

Jen Flack

I have been coaching at CrossFit121 for just over a year now and I love it! You’ll find me coaching mainly in the evenings but I am usually around the gym training myself in the mornings. Prior to CrossFit I had tried a few different forms of training but didn’t find anything which ticked all the boxes I was looking for (fitness, strength and skill), I love the variety that I get from CrossFit and constantly being challenged.

Outside of the gym I work as a nutrition coach online, supporting clients from all works of life wether it be with their athletic endeavours or those who are just looking to feel a little better. I also work as a strength and conditioning coach for a Basketball team which is a great experience.
