We are pumped to formally announce the newest addition to our coaching staff… Long time member, Rob Daffin.
A little bit more about Rob:
“Since high school, fitness has been a part of my life where I played the big 4; football, baseball, basketball, and track. Luckily, my high school was small enough that an average size dude like me could make the teams. I was involved in martial arts and weight training during college and continued to lift at various globo-gyms for years after. When I discovered CrossFit I was originally attracted to the idea of learning the Olympic lifts but over the past 7 years my interest has expanded to all of the different modalities of fitness and ways to challenge myself in this sport/lifestyle. CrossFit has opened many doors for me: I’ve done obstacle course races like the Spartan Beast and Tough Mudder, started stair climbing groups at work, competed at local CrossFit competitions as well as the CrossFit Open most years. In 2019 I decided to get my level 1 certification so that I could elevate my involvement and contribution through coaching. Right now I’m training for the Hotter than Hell Hundred cycle race in August. I am a strict vegetarian and supplement my diet accordingly to support an athletic lifestyle. I do quite a bit of reading and research around nutrition so I’m always up for those discussions. I love this sport and the community here at East Dallas CrossFit. It’s been my gym home for more than 5 years. The coaching staff and members are friendly, knowledgeable, and always helpful. Come by for a class and see for yourself.”
