Simon Ward
CrossFit Coach
Simon started Crossfit 5 years ago when Emma and Brad ‘dragged’ him down to a class in Midland. Needless to say Simon was hooked! All he remembers from his first session was that the workout had air squats and that he needed assistance to get in the back of Brads Hilux due to jelly leg syndrome. Simon has been training with Brad ever since, from Brads shed, to training in his parents shed and then finally the current facility. Simons interest in training others started to grow, seeing Brad affect so many peoples lives in such a positive way was very inspiring, this helped him to see how much of an influence a good coach can have. In November 2014 Simon attended his Crossfit Level 1 seminar.
The most satisfying part of coaching is helping people achieve goals that they never thought were possible from the obvious fitness goals to the often more challenging life style goals.
