Our Trainers

Joe Celso
Owner
​Certified Level 4 Crossfit Instructor

Joe Celso grew up a “315er” with a passion for motocross and football.  Having finished with football – while working on his undergrad at UB, he concluded the workouts in bodybuilding magazines really only made his chest bigger and did absolutely nothing to help him ride his dirtbike.  It was at that point he began experimenting…  creating and testing workouts to improve his own level of fitness.  While he found success, he knew there “chinks in the armor.”  In the spring of 2006 a former Marine suggested he look at CrossFit and upon reading the philosophy Joe KNEW he was on to something good.  Unable to find anyone locally to help him learn the movements, Joe went to CrossFit Atlanta to learn from the man himself – CrossFit founder, Greg Glassman.
