Andy Petranek is the founder of CrossFit Los Angeles. He has been inspiring people to lives of health and fitness for over 15 years. His passion for life and sport has led him in many directions - from classical music as a teenager, to the Marine Corps, whitewater kayaking, and professional adventure racing. His skills as a coach come from years spent as a student - Andy is currently studying gymnastics, and is actively training as a Zen Buddhist. He coaches individuals and groups of all ages and fitness levels in nutrition, fitness, and athletic conditioning. His workouts, designed to be completed in less than 30 minutes, are the most effective and efficient you'll find anywhere.
