Katie C. is the August Member of the Month

Katie has been with us for a few years now and having her as a consistent presence in our AM classes brings a lot of smiles, laughs and fun regularly. Katie is very well versed in movement, anatomy, and coaching, but she’s also a very good listener and implementer (is that a word?) when she […]

Aviv B. is the June Member of the Month

Aviv is another Croga member that has shown just how far you can get with focus, consistency and dedication. Over the last 3 years he has made some HUGE improvements in every aspect of his fitness, most notably his strength, coordination and endurance. One of my favorite things to experience as a coach is meeting […]

Paula G. is the May Member of the Month

Paula started coming to Croga a few years ago in between Volleyball seasons to improve her fitness and improve her game. Even though Paula can be a tad quiet, it wasn’t long before I could tell that she LOVED coming to the gym and doing all the different workouts. Over the past few years, she has […]

Mark G. is the April Member Of The Month

Mark G has been one of those pet projects that you know is going to “end well”, meaning he’s going to get to where you want him to go and where he wants to be, but also one that has required a lot of back and forth along the way. The interesting thing about this […]

Mandy M. is the March Member Of The Month

Mandy has been a member of Croga for a few years now and rarely misses a day at the gym unless she’s being active outdoors instead. Her consistency, enthusiasm and friendliness are second to none and I often have to stop her from making friends so that I can get class started on time so […]

Julius B. is the February Member Of The Month

https://crogafitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Julius.mp4 Julius is a bit of a unique athlete at Croga because he has a different background than our average client. He was an elite athlete that played sports at a high level through college and into the professional ranks and although many of us like to think of ourselves as “former athletes”, this is […]

2020 Croga Fitness Members of the Year

Dear Croganites, This past year has been difficult. It has also been inspiring. A rollercoaster of crazy circumstances; brutal yet uplifting – sometimes all at once. The gym was closed for 119 days, but in those four months, we saw relationships blossom, both digitally and in-person (outdoors), that have only grown stronger as the year […]

Francis T. is the November Member Of The Month

Over the past few years getting to know Francis as an athlete and now as a friend, I have come to like him more and more as time goes by.As an athlete, he is very inquisitive, asking thoughtful questions and then executing on the coaching he receives in response, which has really made coaching him […]

Stephanie P. is the October Member Of The Month

Congratulations, Stephanie!!!!! Over the past two and a half years, it has been an absolute pleasure watching Stephanie reach her health and fitness goals at Croga through hard work and consistency. However, I’ve actually enjoyed watching her learn, grow and evolve emotionally and intellectually over that time by dedicating herself to living a long, healthy […]

Curt C. is the September Member Of The Month

The thing I love about having Curt as an integral part of the Croga Family is that he is a wonderful role model for consistency, thoughtful training, and persistence. As you’ll see in his answer below, when he came into the gym he was pretty fit aerobically, but he knew he had some holes in […]

ERIC TRACY

Coach

About

Hi friends! I have been doing CrossFit since 2013 and coaching since 2015. I originally gave it a shot after I stopped playing competitive soccer and needed another outlet for my energy and my extroverted needs. I’ve always had a passion for helping others, and I’ve been drawn to teaching in the things that I’m passionate about. I’ve been fortunate enough to be a soccer coach, snowboarding instructor, skydiving coach, and EMT instructor during my adult career, and I’ve loved every minute of it. My favorite thing is to watch people get excited about their own progress and encourage the same love of fitness and health that others have fostered in me. I currently work in the ER and hope to continue pursuing my interest in emergency medicine and cardiology. I can’t wait to meet you, help you move better, and share a dad joke with you.

ROXANNE LYNCH

Coach

About

Howdy, I’m Roxanne – a coach at Croga Fitness that’s all about helping you reach your desired fitness goals by challenging you and having fun along the way.
I got into fitness as a kid when I was introduced to Crossfit through my Uncle. I fell in love with the community and the way it challenged me to be better than I was the day before. Prior to coaching here at Croga, I coached group fitness classes at another gym. I love coaching workouts that build endurance and get you sweaty but have you leaving feeling accomplished. 
When taking a class with me you can go into it knowing there’s nothing you “can’t do,” and that workouts are modifiable, but expect to challenge yourself.
Outside the gym, you might catch me at a coffee shop, baking, or somewhere out in nature.
“Train your body. Challenge your mind. Elevate your life.”

Dillan Campos

Coach

About

Hi, I’m Dillan Campos. I’m a coach at Croga Fitness. I bring a laid-back vibe outside the workout, but once class starts, you’ll hear me across the room pushing people to keep moving and believe in themselves. 
I grew up playing basketball and also competed in football and track & field. After sports injuries led me into a tough period mentally and physically, I found my way back through the gym, starting with powerlifting and bodybuilding for about five years before transitioning into CrossFit. I’m DEKA Certified and CrossFit Level 1 Certified, and what I love most about coaching is watching people realize they’re capable of way more than they thought. My goal is to make classes a space where everyone can challenge themselves at their own pace. 
In my classes, expect good energy and encouragement. 
Outside the gym, I’m usually terrible at golf, hanging out at the beach, fishing, or getting way too competitive during board games. 
“You don’t have to be perfect; just show up and give me what you’ve got today.”

David Musgrave

Owner

About

From a very young age, it became apparent that Coach Dave loved all things sport and competition related. Maybe it was being the youngest of four or maybe it was being the only boy in the family. Whatever it was, it has created a fire inside of him that fuels his urge to constantly be striving for excellence through consistent and steady improvement. His unwavering persistence and eternal optimism are his two greatest assets as a husband, father, coach, entrepreneur and athlete. They are the pillars he has stood on for as long as he can remember and are the reasons he is such a fantastic leader. He grew up playing competitive soccer, loves snowboarding and enjoys traveling the world. Dave was thrown into the world of CrossFit in 2008, he has competed in the largest competitions in the CrossFit world and in 2017 he was the 18th Fittest Man in Northern California in The CrossFit Games Open, finishing 34th at the California Regional as an Individual Athlete. Dave relocated to Boise, ID with his wife and two daughters but still has a hand in directing the heart of Croga Fitness. When he is not coaching or training, you can usually find him reading a book, listening to a podcast, doing some online continuing education or having a chat with someone he thinks he can learn from. As a very curious, driven and dedicated individual, he like to say that he is a serial learner and has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Over the years, Dave has experimented with a lot of different types of eating, but never really felt like he was in control or consistently making the correct food choices that would result in long term success until he found WAG and “flexible dieting”. Dave and his wife have both had significant success with improved body composition and performance since incorporating this healthier and more sustainable type of eating into their lives and it has inspired Dave to want to share with others and inspire them to improve their health through flexible dieting as well.

JOSEPH (JOEY) GONZALES

Coach

About

Hi, I’m Joey Gonzales, a coach at Croga Fitness. I like helping people work hard, enjoy the process, and leave feeling better than when they walked in.
I grew up playing soccer and originally found CrossFit in 2012, which helped build my foundation and led me deeper into fitness. I’ve been coaching since 2019 and hold my CrossFit Level 1. I enjoy helping people challenge themselves while still moving well and feeling good doing it.
In my classes, I take time to get to know you and what you’re working toward. I’ll push you when it makes sense, but it’s always about progress at your pace. Expect hard work, good energy, and a group that supports each other.
Outside the gym, I’m usually with my girlfriend and our dog Coit, getting outside, visiting family on the Central Coast, or finding a solid BBQ spot- usually with a beer involved. I also work in the mental health field, which shapes how I connect with people.
“Slow and steady.”

Taylor DiBiasio

Coach

Snatch – 245

Clean and Jerk – 305

CrossFit Total – Back – 485 Strict Press – 220 Deadlift – 445

Personality – Priceless

About

Taylor moved to California in 2021 and is originally from Alaska by way of Portland. During the Day he is an HR professional. During his free time, he loves to disc golf, play board games, eat good food, ski, and travel.

Turning Point

I am a D1 volleyball athlete turned recreational rugby player turned mediocre disc golfer. After leaving college I had no idea how to take care of my body or my nutrition. Then at 23, I started what would become a 7+ year battle with cancer and my body was just falling apart. 5 years ago, in between rounds of chemo, I found CrossFit. The diverse workouts kept me excited, the community kept me showing up, and the rest is history.

Motivation & Passion

I truly just want everyone to be as excited about movement as I am. Sure is the competition side of CrossFit fun and exciting? Yes. But there is nothing like discovering the power inside yourself to positively create change within your body, within your life. That feeling from when you’re 6 years old and you make it across the monkey bars the first time does not go away. Whether it’s cross-training for athletics, trying to keep up with your kids, or getting in the best shape of your life at age 50, I want to be a part of that journey for members. That’s why I coach, and that’s why I show up at the gym (almost) every day.

Bench: 185#

Dead Lift: 295#

Member of the ROGUE 750# CLUB…woohoo!

About

I’ve been interested in the human form and movement for as long as I can remember and decided at University to get serious about learning it! I’m a practicing Physical Therapist, fitness coach and mama of three. Those little rascals are by far my favorite and greatest motivation. Some of my interests include: playing the tenor sax, anything water-sport (including sailing), horseback riding, racquetball, dancing, wine tasting …and fun!

Turning Point

I was a boxer and broke my hand in the ring. While I was post-surgical, in my cast and feeling sorry for myself, I started focusing on strength training. After a couple of years and noticeable progress, I decided to try out CrossFit.

Motivation & Passion

When people come together, support one another and get health benefits that surpass conventional outcomes by moving better and working hard..well then we’re on to something. CrossFit facilitates this AND gives an opportunity to all, athletes and coaches alike. Getting someone moving better and proud of their own achievements / progress is my motivator. I may not get them to their finish line, but if there is an opportunity along their journey I can educate, coach and push them, oh…I’m there!

Qualifications

Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist 

Bachelor’s of Science Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Science

About

Work as a project manager for a general contractor by day, and throw weight around at my favorite gym by night. I love working out, I want to share my love for working out with everybody and hope it rubs off. It is the best natural medicine for anything. The more people realize that the happier our lives will be.

Turning Point

I have a passion for sports and working out. I want to share that passion with people, and hope it gives them what it has given me throughout the years. I wasn’t able to do that while working as a project manager, I was blessed with the opportunity to do so at Croga and it has been very fulfilling.

Motivation & Passion

I want to see people live happy lives, and one of the best starts to do that is feeling like the best version of themself. Going to the gym and having fun a few days of the week is a step in the right direction.

Nicolas Tran

Coach

About

Hi, I’m Coach Nick, one of the coaches at Croga Fitness. I bring a high-energy but approachable coaching style to every class and love helping people feel strong, capable, and confident every time they walk through the doors.

I got into fitness through sports and strength training, but over time I became even more passionate about helping others move and feel better in everyday life. I’m a personal trainer and coach with a background in strength and conditioning, movement assessments, mobility work, and functional fitness. My favorite thing to coach is helping people bridge the gap between performance and longevity. I want you to train hard while still taking care of your body for the long run.

My coaching philosophy is simple: meet people where they’re at and help them improve one step at a time. In my classes, you can expect encouragement, good energy, attention to movement quality, and workouts that challenge you without making fitness feel intimidating.

Outside of the gym, I’m usually programming workouts, drinking way too much coffee, listening to podcasts, or finding new ways to make training more effective and sustainable. I genuinely enjoy learning about movement and helping people feel better both inside and outside the gym.

“You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep showing up.”

Turning Point

From then on, he wanted to pursue a career in physical therapy so that he could have the opportunity to help people and guide them down a path of living a longer and healthier life. Coach Nick worked as a physical therapist aide at numerous clinics in San Jose and wanted to broaden his horizons with more hands-on training. He looked at gyms and came across Croga Fitness that had a loving community and the rest is history!

MARIAH EULY

Coach

About

Mariah started her CrossFit journey in 2020 during the pandemic, drawn in by the supportive community and the intensity of the workouts. She quickly developed a passion for the challenge and never skips a workout that includes double unders or power cleans.

In 2024, she took that passion a step further by becoming a coach. For Mariah, coaching is more than just leading workouts—it keeps her accountable and gives her the opportunity to help others push past their limits. She finds the most fulfillment in seeing members leave the gym feeling stronger, more confident, and proud of what they’ve accomplished.
