Chris Tamer

After graduating from the University of Michigan, I was fortunate enough to embark on a journey in professional hockey, playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, and Atlanta Thrashers over twelve years. Throughout my career, I valued the importance of off-ice strength and conditioning to help me succeed on the ice. It wasn't until I retired that I fully grasped the transformative power of CrossFit. Reflecting on my hockey days, I wish I had this type of training during my playing days.   The intensity, efficacy, and longevity benefits of CrossFit immediately resonated with me. Its simplicity, paired with its effectiveness in working major muscle groups through functional movements, proved to be a game-changer. CrossFit not only filled the void left by my professional sports career but also reignited my passion for team camaraderie and shared goals. Being part of a community of like-minded, dedicated people pushing boundaries has been immensely rewarding.  I am motivated by witnessing individuals surpassing their expectations, thanks to the power of a supportive group.  Seeing people achieve their goals that once seemed impossible fuels my passion for this gym. CrossFit isn't just a workout – It’s who we are.  I am truly grateful to be a part of this community.
