Emanuel Garcia

Emanuel got started with CrossFit in 2009 when a friend invited him to an intro class, which he ended up attending on his own.

As a coach, he loves helping people stay healthy so they can enjoy life outside the gym. He also enjoys helping people feel welcomed into a community focused on getting stronger.

His favorite movement is the atlas stone to shoulder because, in his words, “the more awkward the object, the better.” Emanuel used to be able to hold conversations in four languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin.

Outside the gym, he enjoys traveling and spending time in nature.
