Stephen "G" Gendrow

Where are you from: Missoula, Montana

What is your day job: Garbage Man, also known as an Industrial Athlete

What do you do for fun outside of CrossFit: I spend a lot of time outside fishing, hunting, hiking— really anything outdoors. I enjoy spending time with my daughter, Chloe, hanging out with friends, and playing poker.

What makes a good coach: A good coach is a strong people person who is always willing to learn more and go the extra mile to help teach people to become the best they can be.

Why did you become a CrossFit coach: For me, it’s about helping and pushing people more than they thought they could accomplish. I love CrossFit and I wanted to share everything I know and have learned over the past 11 years. I really enjoy watching people make both big and little gains in fitness. Helping people get and stay fit for a lifetime is my goal as a coach.

What is your favorite workout: 21-15-9 wall balls and burpees— it was the first WOD I ever did! Simple, yet effective and terrible! I also like Grace because it burns so bad!

What are your certifications: CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, CrossFit Gymnastics Trainer.
