CFDC Coach’s Corner: Floyd Brinton

What do you do/like to do outside of the gym?

I love traveling, trying new foods, experiencing new cultures, and getting out of my comfort zone. 

What inspired you to start coaching CrossFit?

I was inspired to coach because I wanted to help others grow in the same way that my coaches have done for me. 

Best coaching cue/tip you’ve ever received?

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Also, never quit. 

Favorite movement, skill, or workout to coach and why?

I love coaching gymnastic movements because they’re fun and everyone remembers when they get their first pull up, muscle up, handstand walk, etc. 

Favorite memory from coaching at CFDC?

 I coached my first packed Saturday class and had a blast watching everyone work together. We have a great community and I am grateful to be a small part of it.
