After her time as a former collegiate athlete, she has found a love in trail running & ultramarathons (yes, not all CF athletes hate running!) She was first introduced to crossfit in 2017 in hope’s to further fulfil her active passions & competitive soul. Needless to say, she was not disappointed! After a few years of moving for work & a little box hopping, Annie has found her way back home to ESCF.
 
“The special camaraderie & community, competitive nature of the sport, a*s-kicking workouts, and straight up fun in crossfit is unparalleled to any other sport I’ve participated in. My all time favorite part of crossfit is watching the individual growth of each athlete, mentally and physically. Watching people work to overcome this type of hard & be proud of it, is truly something special.”

Brittany Speer

Coach

Brittany started CrossFit in 2014, joining an affiliate in Philadelphia to meet people in a new city. Always active but never one to consider herself athletic, she found that CrossFit introduced her to an amazing community and brought her a sense of motivation, accomplishment, and results – both physically and mentally – that no other form of “working out” ever had. Whether she’s starting or ending her day at the gym, Brit loves the challenge every workout brings and the camaraderie among fellow athletes.

Outside of the gym, Brit is a Project Manager in the healthcare field. She enjoys reading a good book at the beach, being in the kitchen baking, and spending time with her friends, family, and two fluffy cats.

Dana Bedrosian

Coach

“I have been doing CrossFit for over 7 years and have loved every day. Not only have I endured killer workouts but more importantly, I’ve endured those workouts alongside some of the best athletes and people I’ve ever met.”

Dana believes CrossFit means that no matter where she goes, she has the community with her. She can drop into a box anywhere in the world and find friends though they are strangers. When she is not coaching or getting a workout in, she enjoys cooking and hanging with her dog Brady (yes, after Tom)

David Rodriguez

Coach

David started CrossFit in 2018 by reluctantly responding to a gym FaceBook post. For many years his focus always started and ended with his family, especially his four boys and daughter. It took some time but David finally realized that he needed to be a focus too. David didn’t have any expectations when he started CrossFit because he didn’t know anything about it. What David did know was that the local franchise gyms didn’t interest him but he wanted to be the model of health and fitness for his four boys and he needed to get stronger and remain fit for his daughter who is dependent on him to transport her within the home and to her physician appointments.

David loved the feeling from day one after his first CrossFit workout. Now, more than 4 years later, he still loves and gets excited going to the gym, getting his tail kicked most days and going back for more.

David is excited to start coaching at ESCF and share his experiences, knowledge and passion for CrossFit with this community that has been so welcoming.

Diana Kasper

Coach

Diana started doing Crossfit in 2018. Despite being a trained dancer through childhood and teen years, she never saw herself as “athletic.” Once she stepped into her first Crossfit class, however, she was hooked. Diana wants to encourage others who felt the same was she did at the beginning; when it was all new and a little bit intimidating. She loves that Crossfit is accessible to everyone, no matter their level of experience or ability. The camaraderie of group classes is really what kept her going at the start, and it continues to do so to this day!

Jim Drake

Owner

“I’ve never been comfortable working out in a gym. Either a lack of confidence, fear of embarrassing myself or worrying about injury kept me away. Until I discovered CrossFit. Five years ago, after radical back surgery, I needed to regain fitness to resume my passion of competitive motorcycle riding. I walked into this very gym and met a coach who explained how adaptable CrossFit is. We customized a workout plan that protected my injury and at 51 I’m stronger and fitter than I’ve ever been. The ESCF community has helped me achieve goals I thought impossible. I wish you the same!”

Taylor Harmon

Coach

Taylor found CrossFit in 2013 and believes that it has done so much for her physically but mostly mentally. She was shy and self-conscious and often avoided meeting new people and public speaking. Within a year that changed. With the community she felt at the gym, and the challenge in the workouts she started to become comfortable with the uncomfortable. She no longer felt anxious in these situations and started to welcome them with open arms. Each time she coaches, Taylor gets to live out one of her personal values: Connection.
