Coaching Style

How Jason coaches

Fun, supportive, and personal. Jason runs a class where people laugh, get a great workout, and walk away having had real one-on-one time refining their technique. He makes every athlete feel seen and supported, no matter where they are in their journey.

Outside the Gym

When Jason isn't coaching

Jason has a degree in genetics, was a licensed auto mechanic, and is currently a realtor. He's proof that interesting people end up at CrossFit BC.

The Honest Version

What Jason got wrong, and how Jason coaches now

What I used to get wrong

"Sixteen years ago I assumed everyone learned the way I did: watch once, repeat, refine. Most people don't, and the ones who quietly couldn't keep up are the ones I lost."

How I coach now

I work the room. Every athlete in my class gets a real one-on-one cue before we hit the workout, and I scale conversations as carefully as I scale weights.

Every CFBC coach answers this question. It's part of how we coach.
