Fred Franklin

I’m from Jackson, Mississippi, and my interest in fitness began with football. Playing the sport introduced me to working out and helped me appreciate the effort and consistency it takes to get stronger and improve.

Eventually, I wanted to try something different from a traditional lifting gym. A coworker who was doing CrossFit encouraged me to join him, and that opened the door to a new way of training. The variety of workouts and the opportunity to challenge myself in different ways gave me a fresh perspective on fitness.

What I love most about coaching is helping people get the most out of every session. Whether that means learning a movement, improving technique, or finding the encouragement to keep going, I want each athlete to leave knowing they’ve taken a step forward. My goal is to help people train with purpose, build confidence, and feel proud of the work they put in.
