Francis has been involved in sports since a very young age. He played baseball, basketball, tennis and ran cross country. During these years he always enjoyed the physical training aspect of preparing for these sports. At age 16 he started to develop a passion for fitness and exercise. By that time his resources were limited to a P90X program and men’s health magazine workouts. At first, his goals were merely aesthetics and as he was looking to build muscle and get a six pack. As time went by, his passion for exercise and training only grew and became more serious with his goals. He then found out about CrossFit. When he was about 18 years old, one day he was watching videos on YouTube and found a video of what by that time seemed to him like superhumans performing incredible stunts. He quickly started to search for gyms in Puerto Rico where he could sign up and start training CrossFit. He was very attracted to the competing aspect and the variety of modalities that the sport included. He quickly started learning about training and started helping out others in his gym with exercise technique and training protocols. And that ‘s when his passion for coaching emerged. Some of the fitness certifications he possesses include CrossFit Level 1, DRD Personal Training License, and the OPEX Coach Certificate Program. He also counts with 8+ years of experience in the fitness coaching industry. Yet he still searches to increase his experience in the field and share his passion for fitness with others.
This is NOT your generic box. Coaches are well-trained and provide exceptional, cutting edge training and advice. They are knowledgable about integrative approaches to health (eating, sleep, hormones, psychological wellbeing). I was most impressed when I was in the process of attempting to get pregnant. Hands down the Best!
If you want to be a beast you have to train with beasts! Excellent facility, excellent team of coaches that all of them have a grand knowledge in almost everything fitness! Would recommend this box to anyone! Keep it up!
I moved away from San Juan a decade ago before Crossfit was introduced to the island and I was not sure what it was going to be like dropping in to a box here. Aggressive is excellent, well staffed, well equipped, well located in an easy to find space in the Santurce area. Dropped in at 10am on Saturday and was treated with excellent hospitality. Ernesto was a great coach. Welcoming to athletes of all levels and disciplines (crossfit, powerlifting, Olympic lifting, gymnastics). I will definitely drop in next time I visit my hometown.
