The Team

Crick Butcher

Coach

I started my athletic journey playing soccer, lacrosse, and long distance running throughout my high school years. After school training became very mundane and boring until I discovered CrossFit in the spring of 2013. CrossFit completely changed the way I thought about training and was hooked. In 2016, I became CrossFit Level 1 Certified and in 2017 got my USA Level 1 Weightlifting Certification. I have a passion to help others succeed in their goals no matter how big or small.

When I'm not at the gym, I have a passion for music, playing drums with my Church, enjoying nature, and hanging with friends.

CrossFit Level 1 Certification

Haj Bell

Coach

I started CrossFit in January of 2013 & never looked back. It didn’t take long for me to further my passion in the sport of fitness and obtain my Level 1 certification where I began coaching shortly after at North Haven CrossFit.

I have always strived to do my very best both as an athlete & coach & give 100% in whatever it is I do. From competing in local, regional and international competitions to training through pregnancy & postpartum, expanding my knowledge and experience in the sport in any way that I can is my main goal.

My passion for this sport remains eminent & I am always looking for ways to improve both as an athlete and a coach for our members & my community.

Brian Gouin

Coach

Health teacher, husband & father of 3 boys.

I first explored CrossFit in 2012 as a way to rehab a shoulder injury. I quickly fell in love with the competitive nature of the sport of CrossFit & was drawn to the community aspect of it as well. Many of my current closet friends are members of NHCF.

My passion for this sport & community led me to the decision to get my certification to help others become the best version of themselves when participating in the CrossFit methodology.

Sports Back Ground include Professional Baseball, Collegiate Baseball, High School Baseball and Soccer.

CrossFit Level 2 Certification

Greg Szkop

Coach

I have been at North Haven CrossFit since 2012, where I began as an Administrative Assistant.

My athletic background includes playing Division III collegiate hockey and lacrosse at Endicott College where I was named captain of both sports as well as an All American in lacrosse. After finishing my college athletic career and beginning CrossFit in 2012, I had one regret: Why didn’t I start CrossFitting earlier?

CrossFit has helped me to improve different aspects of my athletic capability including strength, power, speed, explosiveness, mental toughness and endurance just to name a few.

As a coach, my experience has been incredible. The greatest feeling is hearing a “thank you” when a person learns something new or does a task that they never thought was possible like rope climbs. This is what drives me to be the best coach I can be every day.

My biggest tip to all current and potential members of NHCF is to be comfortable in reaching out of your comfort zones. We all put up a wall to protect ourselves from the unknown. Relax. Be confident. Ask questions. Don’t take things too seriously when you fail. Failing is good. Failing happens. Tomorrow is another day. And most importantly, have fun.
