*Welcome our New Coach, Brendan Gilliam!!*

I’m very excited to welcome Brendan Gilliam to Metropolis.  Some of you have all ready met Brendan, for those of you unfamiliar; he is one of the original CrossFitters.  He trained with Greg Glassman at the original CrossFit box in Santa Cruz CA back in the the mid-2000′s.  Brendan has since opened and successfully operated 2 affiliates in California and Virginia Beach and now is bringing his talents to South Beach, I mean Metropolis.  Brendan is just moving to town, but expect to see Brendan at the gym, providing leadership, experience, high quality training, and becoming a key piece of our growing, thriving community.  Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Brendan.  I think you’ll find his passion and enthusiasm for CrossFit to be infectious.  Entertaining to watch some original CrossFit videos of Brendan and crew at the first CrossFit gym.  HERE.  ANOTHER.  YET ANOTHER.
