Ed Tennison

I’m a lifelong fitness enthusiast with tons of personal and group fitness training experience and a long corporate career. I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2008 and coaching since 2021.

I got started in CrossFit because I like the functionality of full-body fitness without the bulking and joint pain that can come from traditional lifting. It also fuels the inner competitor in me.

I started coaching soon after the current owners took over CFTC.

My coaching philosophy: it’s your workout based on the WOD — if you made it to the gym, you might as well give it all you have today.

My favorite movement is the Devil’s Press, because it is a true full-body movement.

What I love most about being part of the CFTC fam is how we truly embrace the “Community” part of CrossFit.

If I could have one superpower during a workout, it would be limitless endurance.

A quote I live by is:
“Positive energy breeds positive results!!”

A fun fact about me:
I’m a very emotional guy who gets choked up seeing heartfelt moments with others.

When I’m not at the gym, you’ll find me spending time with my wife and kids or enjoying my other passion, golf.
