CROSSFIT SAN ANTONIO

OUR HISTORY

WRITTEN BY: MARIO BARAJAS , OWNER OF CROSSFIT SAN ANTONIO

Crossfit San Antonio opened in 2007. It was THE very first crossfit gym to open in San Antonio... hence the name. It's original location was off of Mainland Drive, but in 2014 the gym moved to its current spot on Glen Ridge. On November 1 of 2015 I became the owner of this amazing gym.

Why do I do it? The thing that drives me the most is helping people achieve things that they never in their life thought they could do. Showing them that had work, dedication, positive attitudes, and a do-not-quit attitude will not only change your body, but the way you look at life. Crossfit does not only make you physically strong, but makes you mentally strong which goes a lot further than physical strength. The idea and feeling of changing someones life is so rewarding! We show them that anything is possible. The more people that come up and thank me, or jump up for joy and dance because they did their first pull up, or ran their first mile without stopping, fuels my fire.

MEET THE OWNER:

MARIO

BARAJAS

I am a San Antonio native, born and raised. I started my CrossFit journey in 2009 and quickly realized the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A couple years later, my passion for this continued to grow and I started coaching in 2011. The rewarding impact of changing lives is essentially what led me to purchasing my own CrossFit gym. I am determined to promote a positive atmosphere for all skill levels, to implement the best programming for each individuals needs and continue to educate others in CrossFit.

CROSSFIT SAN ANTONIO TRAINERS

Natalee

I am originally from small town Mt. Vernon, Ohio. I discovered CrossFit back in 2016- I love the challenges and competitiveness that come along with this sport. I wanted to be able to share my love for CrossFit by getting my CF-L1 and helping other people achieve their own fitness goals. As a coach, I want to help you work towards a healthier lifestyle inside and outside of the gym! When I'm not coaching or training at CFSA, I dedicate my time in the classroom teaching 1st graders. Go Bucks!

BRITTANY

Brittney has been CrossFitting for over five years, and coaching for two. In addition to coaching, Brittney is a professional photographer. When she isn’t cheering on CFSA athletes, you’ll find her snappin’ pics or talking about her three huskies.

ALYSSA

I started my CrossFit journey back in 2017 and have loved it ever since. I have a background as a gymnastics coach and dance teacher which inspired my passion for helping other athletes succeed. I earned my CF-L1 in 2021 and since then I have loved getting to know each athlete at CFSA and learning how I can help them achieve their fitness goals. Outside of the gym, I love spending time with my family, enjoying the warm Texas weather, and traveling!

CHRISTINA

I am Laredo native transplanted to San Antonio 20 years ago. I am an entrepreneur in the insurance industry for the better part of 20 years now and part of the CrossFit community for the last 10 years. My love for helping others and my excitement for CrossFit sparked the desire to achieve my L1 so that I can help others with their own CrossFit journey to health and fitness.

JANICE

Janice Hernandez spent years trying different fitness regiments, but it was until CrossFit that she found a sport where she was constantly challenged and saw long lasting results. Janice was introduced to CrossFit San Antonio in 2012 and is one of our longest standing members. With her busy lifestyle in Public Relations, she appreciates how CrossFit’s programming fits into her daily routine. Her favorite part of the sport is that it’s continuously evolving and that you are always forced to learn something new. She also loves that the CFSA has a family/community environment with everyone passionate about the same goal. Janice enjoys pushing her athletes outside their comfort zone. Her favorite part of coaching is watching the look on an athletes face when they learn something new, whether it be their first pull up or muscle up.
