Owner Jeff Stoffel has been CrossFitting for nearly a decade, and specializes in modifying movement in addition to preserving the stimulus of a workout at one’s level. He enjoys getting people started on their fitness journey and finding out what really motivates them to continue. “Getting them to accomplish what they didn’t think possible is very rewarding,” he says.
Active in football, wrestling, track, rock climbing, paddle boarding, and all types of biking, Jeff was captain of the track team for two years, pole-vaulted 14'6" and lettered eight times while in school. He came to CrossFit in 2006, after a wrestling buddy mentioned it at a party. “I checked out the website, and the first workout was 7x1 weighted pull-up...no big deal,” he says. “The second workout was fight gone bad; I did that on my own or as close as I could in a normal gym. After two months of trying to do WODs on my own, I went to an affiliate and was hooked from the first workout there!”
From there, Jeff got certified, then lived abroad for a year in China. Upon returning to the U.S., he started a health and wellness program for 1,200 employees from scratch, and with 400 active participants over a four-year period, managed to build it into the healthiest employer in Boston. “When I left for the gym, we had just done a $2 million remodel on the corporate gym, had 18 people running in the Boston Marathon, and 19 fully sponsored leagues ranging from flag football to volleyball, softball and onsite WeightWatchers®.
Jeff's favorite motivational quote: “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.” - Tony Robbins
