Stu Swanson – Crossfit Coach A father of 3 boys and a member of OSCF since 2013. Stu comes from an active background of competitive squash for Brown University in RI, mountain biking, hiking and snowboarding. In short, anything that includes competition is where he wants to be. Stu found Crossfit in 2013 as he was looking to prepare for his first Tough Mudder. He discovered that Crossfit gave him what he needed to train and improve at all of the sports he was passionate about. The community, the competition, the measurable results has made Crossfit a passion for Stu. Above all, the question to Stu has always been, “what did you do before Crossfit?” Most people are expecting to hear that there was a stepping stone of triathlons or bodybuilding. Although he always has stayed active and he’s in the best shape of his life because of Crossfit, it goes deeper than that. Stu became interested in nutrition at a young age and found that it made a considerable difference when it came to performance. Stu is currently working on his Nutrition and Health Coach Certification and would like to share his passion and experience to teach and communicate what has worked so well for him. He coaches because he loves to see the transformation, the progress and help them succeed, whether it’s a lifting technique, skill work or nutritional advice.
