Rick Callahan

CrossFit Level 1 Certified Trainer

CrossFit Strongman Certified Trainer

Garage Games 2011 New England Finals – 37th out of 109 Male competitors (Rx’d Division)

“As an athlete in high school and college, I have seen the levels individuals can rise to in the spirit of both competition and camaraderie above and beyond their normal capabilities. I had never thought to integrate these elements into my own training program, until I discovered CrossFit. Going to the gym is no longer something I need to drag myself to when I am not in the mood, it is something I really look forward to. This is owed to the proven results CrossFit provides and to the exceptional community and environment surrounding it, specifically at Forever Crossfit. If you want to work hard, test your limits, and be a better athlete, CrossFit is the avenue, end of story.”

Rick is a graduate of Cornell University with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering. He enjoys basketball, golf, southern BBQ, Seinfeld re-runs and planning Halloween costumes way too early in the year. He looks forward to coaching you to be your very best and to reach any goal you desire.
