Michael’s first athletic interests emerged at age 11 when he decided to start playing Pee Wee football. Even at this early age, young Michael demonstrated great passion and enthusiasm for the sport to the point where it became one of the most important aspects of his development and life. During his high school athletic career, Michael continued to participate in football as well as other sports like volleyball and baseball, which he enjoyed but never truly manifested importance greater than that of football, a sport that he is passionate about even to this day.
Throughout most of his life, Michael relied on his talent and natural athletic abilities to excel at sports. After 12 years of playing in the semi-pro football league, he decided that in order to perform better, he needed to gain an edge and that he needed to prepare his body properly.
After this decision, Michael started going to a personal trainer who brought out the best of his physical abilities and help Michael achieve the pinnacle of his physical condition. Having worked hard at the gym and at practice, Michael had his best football season to date. His team, which had never won a championship, finally won that year and he was declared Best Offensive Player of the league and MVP of the championship game.
After these tremendous results, Michael realized the importance of physical training and preparedness. He became very passionate about working out, and after 2 years of working out with a personal trainer, Michael began searching for other alternatives to exercise his body. He came across CrossFit through ESPN, and found a CrossFit gym. Like football, he took an instant liking to CrossFit, later becoming a CrossFit Level 1 Coach.
These days, Michael continues to challenge himself and strive for optimal physical performance and condition through his biggest passions, football and CrossFit, and continues to excel at both. After having had such a positive experience and a great support system from his personal trainer in achieving his great physical development, he developed a passion for helping people achieve that same feeling with their bodies.
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.
