GREG PRIVITERA: NSCA member and Crossfit Level 1 Certified

Greg found his way into CrossFit through the pursuit of exceptional health and athletic performance. Rehabbing his own L5-S1 herniation back to a +400lbs. deadlift, he is very interested in remaining abreast of methods of injury prevention and performance for both the layperson and the athlete. As a trainer his particular areas of focus include hip mobility, spinal health, functional strength, and bodyweight exercise. In addition to being ridiculously good at math, Greg has also been known to leap for a frisbee in Rittenhouse Square, play 2 hours of basketball post-workout, write and play music, and cook a nice steak. Keeping training (and life) creative and playful is a primary concern of his and his primal lifestyle helps him to maintain this outlook.

ERIN DAVIDSON: AAAI/ISMA, First Aid/CPR, and Crossfit Level 1 Certified

Erin began CrossFit training during the wee hours of the morning in the basement of a globo gym in Philadelphia. Little did she know that with every crazy look she got as she carefully carved out her way to a pullup she was actually paving the way to her current livelihood as a Crossfit Trainer at Crossfit Tribe of Cherry Hill, NJ and finally, Crossfit Center City. Erin's passion for CrossFit-style training is founded in her hatred of feeling obligation toward anything that remotely resembles a hamster-wheel and her fascination with every individual's potential for greatness. Her favorite part of training is having the privilege of watching her clients do what they had previously thought to be impossible. An athlete for life, Erin enjoys reminiscing about days playing T-ball in Italy, rowing on the Isis in Oxford, free climbing in Israel, and captaining the Gordon College Women's Tennis Team. Her free time is spent burning paleo baked goods, indulging her inner artist, and dreaming of places to do handstands.

Strength: anything squattish.

Weakness: BURPEES.
