Our founders
Brad Galle and Larry Thomas
In early 2019, Brad and Larry went out to breakfast. Larry was the head coach at Commonwealth CrossFit where Brad coached part time. Together, they saw that there was a large population in the Arlington/Lexington/Belmont area with no convenient CrossFit. They decided to start one together and the rest is history. They’ve been through zoning battles (the globo gym next door sent their lawyer to try to stop us from opening), Covid restrictions (started the gym on a turf field and parking lot for the first five months) and all sorts of other growing pains but its all been worth it.
Both Brad and Larry believe deeply in the CrossFit methodology and program and feel that it contributes to overall fitness and wellness for members of all ages.
Our coaches
Teddy Cox
With a wealth of expertise spanning over a decade, I’ve passionately pursued my career as a certified trainer since 2014. I embarked on my journey as an ACE Personal Trainer and subsequently expanded my horizons by obtaining the esteemed NSCA Certification of CSCS in 2018 and an additional CPT in 2020. Demonstrating unwavering commitment, I furthered my qualifications with a Fitness Nutritionist Certification in 2016 and Level 1 Eldoa Certification in 2020 and PN1 in 2023. Committed to the highest standards of safety and care, I diligently renew my CPR/AED Certifications biennially, ensuring your well-being remains my top priority.
