Like most young kids, I grew up playing sports like basketball, softball and also was a cheerleader. I loved the team environment and truly thrived in working alongside other determined people. Through my experiences I found that I have a passion for helping people. Whether it’s through fitness , nutrition or just plain out living their best life! I truly enjoy being a guide for those who are looking to better themselves and obtain a healthier, happier lifestyle. CrossFit has been a huge part of my life and through it I have met some amazing people and built incredible relationships beyond my furthest dreams. The fitness journeys I get to be a part is not just something that I do , but truly a lifestyle that I am committed to helping people achieve with a smile on our faces!

Lance Berg- Coach/General Manager
I found Crossfit as just another form of working out. I grew tired of chest and tri's, back and bi's, 30 minutes of cardio. I wanted more, I needed more. When stumbling across a video one day I thought to myself, "well man... that looks like fun!" The next day I found the closest box to me and dropped in for a workout. I was hooked! There wasn't much about the experience that I didn't like. I enjoyed being face down on the concrete, head in arms, gasping for air and drenched in sweat. I loved looking over and seeing my fellow athletes destroyed along with me. About a year later I realized how involved I already was and how dedicated I had become and decided to get my Level-1 certification . Since then I have dedicated my self deeper into this world of fitness and obtained my Level-2 certification. Helping the everyday person begin to realize their capability and test their limits on a daily basis made me fall more in love with the sport that I had already come to enjoy. When people ask me "What is CrossFit?" I can never explain it to them. I always have to tell them to just come check it out. No, we're not all world class athletes. No, we do not flip tires every day. If you want a community that will cheer you on, suffer with you, grind with you, and shine with you, then CrossFit is your answer. I love this community and everything it has done for me. I hope I can be apart of doing the same for you!

Andrew Murphy -Coach
For me CrossFit started in the summer of 2011. I had just graduated from Texas State University and was preparing to enter active duty with the US Army. I happened to find the CrossFit Games on ESPN and was extremely interested in learning more about the sport of fitness. I found a Level 1 coach and began my first experience with Crossfit as an athlete. From then on, I was hooked. I immediately saw significant improvements in not only my strength and conditioning, but also the trials of learning new skills and lifts, and the challenges of trying to master all things CrossFit. These were the first steps of my CrossFit journey. After getting back from Afghanistan, I took another step and made the decision to attend a CFL1 Seminar to become a coach. I passed my Level 1 test in November of 2013. I have been coaching Crossfit on and off since 2013 and have been coaching at CrossFit Hutto since April of 2017.
The thing I enjoy most about coaching at CrossFit Hutto has to be the community of athletes we have at the Box! Also, being apart of the great team of coaches that get to help our athletes accomplish something new each day!

Megan Camargo-Coach
I first found Crossfit in April of 2015 through a friend and coworker. I had recently given birth to our second child and was desperately searching for the motivation to get myself back in shape. Crossfit offered the perfect environment of a great workout, all modified to my own abilities, individually guided coaching, yet all within the comfort of a community of others just like myself. Everything about Crossfit had me hooked from the start and after eight years of restaurant management, I knew this was my true passion. I became a CFL1 in November of 2017 to continue my learning and to be able to help others find their motivation and be better versions of themselves, just as it had done for me. I moved to Texas with my husband and two children in late 2017 and am excited to continue this journey in life. My goal is to learn something new and be better every day so I can share my knowledge with those that I serve.

Jesse Sanchez -Coach
My journey began January 5,2013. I had no idea the impact of fitness would have in my life or how many people I would be able to help during my journey. I challenge myself to be as knowledgeable in movements standards from your basic push- up to a technical snatch. I’ve competed in many Crossfit competitions and CrossFit opens and I can honestly say I’ve never lost a competition. Not in the sense of winning or losing or podium placement, I’ve won in the sense that I’ve learned from each one. I tackle all my weaknesses head first. I do these things not for the benefit of self but to be able to teach others on their journey. I know the struggles in fitness, I’ve been up and been down but I’ve never quit. I’ve trained hard as a competitive athlete for many years to reach my goals. Using that mindset and the experiences, l’ve transitioned into coaching. Starting in 2016 and then in 2019 when I started coaching kids. Instructing has been a very rewarding experience for me. Guiding future athletes and helping build their foundations in health and life. I believe Fitness should be a fun and rewarding experience. I will take you to the next level and challenge you both mentally and physically. Motivate and inspire is not just a tattoo I have on my right shoulder. I believe that through and true

Fitness has not always been a priority in my life,I got into law enforcement at 21 years old. The food choices were not always great and I struggled with a normal routine. One day I woke and decided this was not the way I wanted to live my life. I immediately changed my diet and started working out. I started my CrossFit journey in 2011, I needed a change in my fitness routine. I started doing CrossFit in my garage and after several years I felt that I had reached a plateau and needed to join a gym. Crossfit Hutto was just opening and I became the first member. I knew I was joining a gym but little did I know I would inherit an amazing support system and life long friends. My passion for crossfit and the community of Hutto only grew as time went on. I felt like I could relate with all fitness levels so I transitioned into a coach in 2017 when I obtained my Level 1 certification. In 2018 I obtained my Level 2 certification to better coach the athletes at our gym. I get so much joy out of helping someone achieve their fitness goals.
