In 2003, he found CrossFit in it’s very early years and opened CrossFit Portland in March 2005 at the urging of CrossFit founder Greg Glassman. It was one of the first handful of CrossFit affiliates gyms in the world. Scott still owns the original gym and does mostly individual coaching & consulting. These days, Crossfit type training is just one of many different approaches and modalities that he employs with clients.
When Scott’s not riding, training or coaching he’s reading, writing or consulting on those subjects.
Rochelle Hagnas (Coach Roche)
Rochelle has been working in the fitness industry for over two decades. Her work started at small female-only gyms in 2000 before transitioning to athletic performance in 2005.
Rochelle believes movement is a lifelong pursuit that should be pain free. A successful workout plan should help the body be prepared for the unknown – have the body move like a human first to help prepare the body for accidents like: slipping while hiking, or tripping on a step, falling while downhill skiing, or the variety of sport collisions that can happen.
There should also be a strength component to movement. Whether it is pursuing competitive lifts like Powerlifting, or Olympic Weight Lifting, or just a variety of movements to get stronger, improve bone density, help an athlete run faster, adding strength training to any movement program will have positive benefits.
Rochelle’s approach to fitness is to have FUN first. From the client choosing what music to listen to for their workout, to chit chatting about everyday life struggles, fitness and movement should be mostly fun, with some tough times in the middle.
For over two decades Rochelle’s specialty is working with people who have a chronic injury. She has had great success in improving range of motion with people suffering from thoracic outlet syndrome, low back pain caused from normal life experiences, or Diastasis Recti (split in the abs), knee surgery prehab and rehab (once cleared to workout from surgeon), and a variety of issues that plague the body in this modern computerized, smartphone society.
Rochelle is also a competitive athlete. She was an All American soccer player in college. Competed in Crossfit in 2009 and 2011, and is currently working toward a World Record in Powerlifting for the 2023 year.
So if you want to move better, feel stronger, or become more competitive, then Rochelle can help you.
