Founder / Coach at CrossFit Revival
Programs by Justin
I didn’t start out as a CrossFitter. From 2015 to 2021, I owned a traditional gym with rows of machines, mirrors, the usual setup. I was strong. I could back squat 450 pounds. But I couldn’t overhead squat an empty barbell. That really bothered me. I had muscle, but I’d never built real functional strength and movement. Then I found CrossFit, and it exposed exactly what I was missing.
That experience changed how I saw fitness. Strength without function isn’t the goal, capability is. In 2021, I converted my traditional gym into CrossFit Revival, Somerset County’s only CrossFit affiliate and the only HYROX affiliate in the county, located in Friedens, PA. About 10 minutes from the Flight 93 National Memorial.
That’s why I built CrossFit Revival the way I did. To help people get past exactly what I got past. Whether you’ve never worked out a day in your life or you’ve spent years in a gym wondering why you still can’t move the way you want to, I’ll meet you where you are and build the skills, strength, and mobility you’re missing. That’s what this place is for.
