Christopher Ruggie

I started CrossFit Kids in 2012, but I really fell in love with CrossFit after the impromptu decision to go watch the 2018 Nashville Regionals event weekend. Seeing both the passion and energy that the CrossFit community had pushed me to push myself more at the box. Growing up, I was involved in basketball, cross country, track and field, and eventually CrossFit.

I currently hold a CrossFit Level 2 certification and I am coaching 3 days a week. My coaching style focuses heavily on movement quality, injury prevention, and helping athletes better understand how movements connect together. When I am not coaching, I am spending my free time streaming on Twitch and putting my Bachelor's degree to use by creating 3D character and creature art while working toward my dream of one day contributing to a Pokémon game.
