Meet “JB”
After one and a half years of being a one-man-show, CrossFit Sweat Shop is ready to welcome a second coach. James Barber, aka JB, will be coaching classes at the Shop very soon. Members who have been training with me since my days at Velocity Sports Performance are very familiar with JB, as he was one of the Performance coaches while he was a completing his undergraduate in Kinesiology at Saint Mary’s College. He then went on to receive his Masters in Kinesiology from Cal Poly. While at Cal Poly, James also taught, and was a teacher assistant for several classes including biomechanics. He has become an expert on the body, how it moves, how it functions, as well as the effects of dietary supplementation. JB’s Master’s thesis was on the effects of creatine supplementation; the results he found are interesting, if you are curious, just ask him about it. As a person, James is mature and driven, far beyond his age, as an athlete he is one of the most diverse and athletic individuals I’ve met. Starting tomorrow, James will begin his regular contribution to the blog, touching on all sorts of topics. Lastly, if you enjoyed the deadlift workout on Tuesday (Joel), you can thank JB, as it was an original that he put together.

Ha! You’re a smart girl, Tammy… regardless of what your co-workers say about you.
So excited for you James! Especially when you find out that everything you learned in school has to be thrown out the window when it come to crossfit. LOL
from one Kinesiology Major to another. Don’t worry about it, when all else fails just squat…heavy.
James, great to be training with you again. Maybe you can take Nabil’s place in the old Velocity Fantasy Football League.
