NICOLE GREENE

COACH

Nicole Greene grew up in Normandy Park and was first introduced to Crossfit at Gonzaga University in 2012. She graduated with a Biology Degree in 2013 then went to test Jet-A Fuel for the SeaTac Airport, and after that she became an Environmental Analysis in Fremont. In 2019, she and her husband moved back to Normandy Park and bought their first house. After being apart of the CrossFit lifestyle for 7 years, she decided to take the Level 1 Certification and return to CrossFit Burien as a trainer.​Outside of the gym, Nicole is a big Cosplayer as well as a Video Game nerd. If you don’t see her at the gym she is probably at home building some elaborate costume or playing the newest Pokemon game. If you tell her what convention you are going to, she is probably going to the same one. If you see her at the gym she is the one wearing the crazy colorful leggings topped with a nerdy workout tank!

FRANCISCO "PACO" ROCHA

COACH

The hardest part about fitness and exercise is the commitment and consistency. Much of my workouts comprised of your typical treadmill running, benching, curls, and ab crunches. I tended to plateau, get stuck in a rut, and found myself skipping the gym as things got boring. I found my fitness journey go through good and bad streaks and knew my routine needed an upgrade. I was introduced to the idea of CrossFit by my wife, who was also looking for something more exciting than your local global gym. As many, I was skeptical, and a little intimidated after Googling what CrossFit was all about. After a few months of training I was doing exercises and movements that challenged me in ways I would have never thought of doing on my own. Everyday was different, the workouts of the day were already programmed, and all I had to do was show up and give 100% effort. Although intimidated at first, a coach was always there to guide me, scale my WOD’s, and make sure I was getting the intended stimulus for that day’s workout. I couldn’t get enough. But what kept me coming back above all else was the amazing community, friends, and family I made along the way. Almost 3 years later I decided to pursue my Level 1 in efforts to encourage others to give CrossFit a try in hopes to better their lives through fitness and community.

MADELIS RIVERA ROCHA

COACH

After a semester in grad school of working full time and going to school full time, sitting at a desk from 7 in the morning until 9 at night, and an average step count of around 3,000, I really felt the need to get myself in gear. I had tried a gym that had group style training previously and remembered that it was a much more motivating situation than going to the average globo-gym. There happened to be a CrossFit gym within walking distance of where I was living so I decided to check it out. After 2 days of training with the owner of that gym I was more sore than I had ever been in my life and I was hooked. What has kept me doing CrossFit almost 3 years later are the results, variety, and community. I love the challenges that come with CrossFit and that there’s always something to improve on no what your skill level is; and I love the family that I have gained.

ANDREW JUCUTAN

COACH

Andrew Jucutan started functional training to improve his health and conditioning and physique in 2008, losing 6% bodyfat in six weeks while working with a personal trainer and adhering to a strict Paleo diet. Kettlebells, Box Jumps, Rope work, mobility, and heavy squats were a mainstay of his workout regime. In 2009, he was introduced to CrossFit and fell in love with the community and functional training focus and was inspired by the individuals who were there to reach their next level (regardless of whether they were trying to master a full squat or push-up or squat 400 pounds). For the next several years, Andrew dropped into many CrossFit communities King, Imperial, Renton, SODO, Xplore, through his connections with ANFARM and desire to be connected to a community of individuals who wanted to better themselves and support others to do so.

TREVOR LAROWE

OWNER

Trevor has played sports his entire life and has an innate competitive drive. Several nights a week you can find him still giving it his all on the volleyball court or kickball field. He started CrossFit in 2013 after his wife, Lindsay, found the original CrossFit Burien Community. Just like when she was training to run a marathon, he couldn’t let her one up him, so he joined the CFB family too. Since then, he’s been a friendly face and pillar at CFB and is always first to volunteer for moving projects and any community needs. Trevor competes annually in the open and a couple of local competitions. For an ‘old dude’ with a desk job, he is still pretty strong. #notquitescalednotquiteRX As a coach, Trevor gets to truly know his athletes so he can push and motivate them in an individual way to maximize their potential. Trevor has 2 kids, Daisy and Anderson, and has been married to his wife, Lindsay, for almost 10 years. They live in Normandy Park and love to fish, spend time at the beach, boat on Lake Washington, shoot off fireworks, and bleed purple and gold as Husky Football Season ticket holders 15 years and running.

MARK GIANGIORDANO

OWNER

I was first introduced to CrossFit in 2010 while in the Army. I found it a great way to give soldiers a balanced fitness regiment that’s fun, functional and extremely challenging. Since then CrossFit has been a big part of my life and I like the community surrounding gyms as much as the fitness. I love finding my physical boundaries and the people that share this mindset are great to be around. CrossFit Burien has one of the best communities and coaching staff I have seen and it’s been an awesome experience to help foster this community!

LEA FORTMANN

OWNER

I was first introduced to CrossFit in 2013, when a new gym opened up down the road. I didn’t know much about it, but decided to give it a try and I have been hooked ever since. Prior to CrossFit, I was doing a lot of running and yoga, or spending 45 minutes on the elliptical at the gym, but now I don’t think I could ever go back to those days on the elliptical. I truly believe that anyone can do CrossFit! I love that the workouts can be scaled to meet any one person’s individual needs, and whether they have been doing CrossFit for 5 weeks or 5 years the same workout can challenge both people and push them beyond what they ever thought they were capable of. While I do like that CrossFit also provides an outlet for my competitive side, the atmosphere in the gym is only one of support and encouragement. I have been at CrossFit Burien since 2017 and am so thankful to have found a gym I love with such an amazing community. As our gym community continues to grow, I look forward to the adventures, challenges, and accomplishments that lie ahead.
