Coach Tom B. was born and raised in north New Jersey. Growing up he was very active and tried pretty much any sport you could think of. By the time college came around, he settled in with cross country and track and field, which he continued running after college for some time. His previous position within his company had him traveling every single week, so he didn’t join a gym for the longest time and just kept up with running. Eventually the travel stopped which gave him the opportunity to join Blue Crab Crossfit and the rest is history.

What made you want to be a coach? 

I have always enjoyed being active, working out, and getting better at different skills or achieving goals I previously didn’t have. I would like to share in these passions and help others improve on skills they previously didn’t believe they could achieve.

What’s the most rewarding thing about being a coach?

Helping others accomplish a goal they previously may not have thought possible. 

What’s your favorite movement? 

Now that I have gotten pretty efficient at it, I would have to say the bar muscle up. I am hoping I can say the ring muscle soon, once I become efficient in that next!

What’s your favorite workout?

Hmmm does it make me a little crazy to say Murph? Has a good bit of running and just in general is a long grind workout. 

I feel I may like Helen too, but I am unsure if I have ever done that one. 

What contributes to your success at BCCF? 

The coaching, for starters. Every one of them are always happy to help answer questions and help guide you to be the best version of yourself.

The other is the community. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging. It is what makes working out so enjoyable and wanting you to keep coming back. That leads to consistency and improving upon yourself!

What’s your advice to our members? 

Have fun. This community is amazing and they make working out enjoyable. The more fun you have, the more you’ll want to come back for more. That improves your consistency, which in turn improves your overall health and makes you better!

Reaching your goals is a marathon not a sprint. 

What can we find you doing when you’re not at the gym? 

Normally it is hanging out with my wife and dog, Buddy. We love to go on walks or breweries during the weekends. But now we have one major addition, our newborn son Landon! For the time being, it will probably be figuring out how to do the whole parent thing… and still hang out at breweries.
