Marcus Garcia – Apprentice

“In my view, coaching is the art of guiding, motivating and training others to be a better version of themselves. This is why I want to be a CFRR coach.” – Marcus

Marcus Garcia is living proof that it’s never too late to change your way of life and become physically active.

Marcus’ interest in fitness and nutrition began at the age of 40. After addressing mounting health issues and facing an addiction to alcohol, Marcus transformed himself into the person he wanted to be. Now at the age of 47, he has lost over 100 pounds and is mentally and physically healthy. Part of his journey to wellness included following his mindset of “just move” and joining CFRR; he’s been a member since July 2014. Since then, Marcus has steadily improved in all aspects of the sport and is in the process of getting his CrossFit Level 1 certificate. Marcus embraces the CrossFit philosophy that learning proper mechanics are essential before adding heavyweight or intensity to any movement.

“My interest in coaching Fundamentals is simple; teaching fundamentals is the foundation to all that lies ahead of an athlete and serves as a basis for lifelong functional movement.”

Marcus and his wife Kathy “Storm” Garcia live in Georgetown, TX. Marcus is a full-time Realtor with Coldwell Banker United Realtors and coaches part-time in our Fundamentals Program. In his spare time, Marcus enjoys fishing at the coast, hiking, and attending sporting events. He is also a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps and supports various veteran programs in our community.
