Noel started his Crossfit journey back in 2011. As a casual runner and gym goer, he wanted to find something that would take him to the next level. Crossfit married the aspects of cardio, strength and conditioning in a way that no other fitness movement could - so he joined and has never looked back since.
He began coaching in 2019 to help others realize their potential. Noel’s focus is to bring an even greater understanding and awareness to the community about mobility, and just how important it is to train and build as a practice. He enjoys teaching athletes about movement, techniques for recovery, injury prevention, and joint health in order to maintain longevity in the sport and in life.
In addition to coaching at The OGC, Noel has been a nurse for 17 years and serves the community at Kaiser Permanente. Having seen the disease process at its worst, he finds gratification by advocating for health and preventing illness in both his professions, inside and outside the gym.
So whether its guidance on movement, positioning, mobilizing, or wellness in general, just ask him. He is always willing to help whenever he can.
