John Panousis

Coach

John was always active. In his youth, he swam competitively and loved boxing and kickboxing. After getting married, becoming a father, and running a cleaning business, John’s physical needs took a back seat. As a result, he felt tired all the time and didn’t have any energy. Ultimately, John felt old.

Once his business was established, John found time for himself again, just before age 40. He stumbled onto functional fitness and was instantly hooked. With proper nutrition and a dedication to consistent training, John transformed his body within a year. His love for healthy living was reborn, and John spent the next decade learning about nutrition and training methods for people over the age of 35. John’s passion is CrossFit and helping individuals improve their lives by making healthy choices and getting fit. Despite a new hip, shoulder surgery, and other ailments that come with age, you’ll find John regularly coaching classes, training individuals, and getting himself super fit most days of the week.
