We are proud to introduce the newest member of our coaching staff… Nick Velez. Nicks been with us for 3.5 years now and has really developed as an athlete and has proven himself as a loyal part of EDCF. We’re pumped to welcome him to our coaching staff. You’ll see him on Thursday evenings to start but we anticipate him playing a major part of our evening classes in the near future.

Here’s a bit more about Nick’s background…

California born, Kansas raised, I have now found myself deep in the big city life of Dallas since moving to Texas in the summer of 2014. After finishing my Music Education degree at Wichita State University, and losing a friendly bet with an old friend that was called to Texas earlier, I loaded my life up into a truck bed and trailer, and headed south in search of teaching opportunities. After 7 wonderful, chaotic, and ever-changing years of teaching, I have now found a new path in coaching.

In my younger years, all the way through my collegiate times, I have been involved in every kind of team and individual sport I could get myself into; soccer, football, baseball, basketball, track, wrestling, tennis, golf, sand volleyball, you name it I’ve tried it. If there was competition to be had, and friends around to experience it, I was obsessed. I’ve had the privilege of competing with dominating teams, and have been humbled by dominated teams. Respecting the ups and downs of sports, fitness, and the thrills of competition has helped shape my pursuit of health and fitness.

Finding the right structure and goals of what I wanted from a gym has been an immense learning experience. I’ve tried handfuls of Apps, Classes, Routines, Fads, and “Get Ripped Quick” schemes. Finally, in January of 2019, I decided to walk in to East Dallas CrossFit and just get some information on what these crazy people were doing running up hills and seeing enthusiastic people lifting together inside. Fast forward and now I find myself in a community that feels like family, a true feeling of enjoying and looking forward to going into the gym every single day, and an L1 CrossFit Certification.

CrossFit has instilled my belief of “Mechanics – Consistency – Intensity” in the way that every person, at any age, and at any level of fitness can show up each day and get a great workout. I believe the best teachers and coaches are always learning and sharing knowledge through personal practice. My own obsession with the sport, community, and foundations of CrossFit is what I hope to show in my own coaching at EDCF.
