ANGEL LUIS VELEZ RIVERA

Bio

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Angel moved to Maryland in 2012 and started doing CrossFit in summer 2014 at Blue Crab Crossfit. After spending the first couple years ‘ messing ‘ around and not taking it seriously, he finally decided to ‘ be serious ‘ about it, losing over 90lbs in the process and getting his CFL1 Certification at CrossFit Mayhem in June 2019. Since then, he started coaching at Blue Crab CrossFit where he spends most evenings either training, coaching classes or helping BCCF athletes with their fitness journey !

Favorite Thing About Crossfit 

By far, my favorite thing about CrossFit is seeing how the CrossFit community comes together as one to make each other better both physically and mentally day in and day out. Seeing how they make progress and take pride in it for all the hard work they put to achieve any goal they want to accomplish.
