About Us

What is Kilotrained Athlete?

I started my training and athletic career in Cedar Falls, IA at CrossFit Kilo. They were taking everyday athletes and turning them into CrossFit Regional and Games qualifiers. They were creating people that were tougher mentally than they were physically. There was nothing fancy. There was no extra fluff. Show up and work. Be willing to do the things you don't want to do. Don't shy from competition. Don't be afraid to get your butt kicked. I wanted to share that mindset with Kilotrained Athlete. I don't care if you aren't the most talented. I don't care if you have little training experience. I don't even expect you to be able to do all the programming pieces. The only thing I care about is that you are willing to give us 100% effort and focus with the you have to train. We provide the tools. You decide what to do with them.
