Thomas Nay

Born and raised in Kansas City, but the mountains were calling and we relocated to Flagstaff in the fall of 2023. I've been coaching fitness classes and training 1:1 clients since 2017, but did not find CrossFit until 2020. I love to compete and challenge myself to take on new adventures. Whether it's a race, a local crossfit competition, or a 10-mile hike on Saturday - I can't say no. CrossFit has allowed me to make some of the best friends I have today and the community within it is unparalleled. My favorite part of coaching is educating others about CrossFit and inspiring them to do more than they thought was possible.
