Rich Djaelani

Coach

''I joined Crossfit1066 in 2019 and never looked back. I’d just moved here, needed new fitness goals and to make friends. Crossfit1066 has been the perfect place to go. 

Fitness has always been a part of my life. My career required me to train at work as we needed our fitness daily. Before CrossFit, I was either doing martial arts or boxing and went on to coach both. 

Love playing around with gymnastics and have a love/ hate relationship with the barbell. Happy to help whenever you see me!''
