I graduated from Fernley High School. 7 and a half years in the Marine Corps. Over a decade of experience as an instructor. Initially a buddy and I did Crossfit from the main site when we were deployed. Upon my return to the Reno area I found Battle Born, came to the gym and immediately knew it was my kind of place. The biggest draw to me is the owners and coaches have the right intent, meaning their function is to make you more fit and they accomplish this with a family attitude. 

Likes: Eating, naps, and barbell training

Dislikes: Thrusters, burpees, Fran, and I detest running more than 400m.

  

Favorite Olympic Lift: Power Clean/Snatch
Favorite Hero WOD: Randy
Favorite Girl WOD: Grace

Mel Christopher Magboo, MD

I was introduced to CrossFit in March 2007.  I consciously chose this path of discipline, perseverance and hard work to achieve optimal fitness and success.  Since then, I have continued to successfully challenge myself to step into the realm of the unknown.  One of them is the sport of Ultra distance running.  As a physician and a Crossfitter, I am a strong advocate of functionality as it relates to quality of life and longevity. My passion is to guide and empower individuals through fitness and nutrition. My objective is for you to maximize your potential and achieve your goals in a no non-sense way.

            I got into Crossfit in 2007 after a buddy turned me on to the main site, and quickly became addicted to the workouts and the online community. Crossfit is unique from other workout "programs" in that it provides real world "functional" fitness - the type of fitness that will help me stay strong & fit well into my "old age". I came to Battleborn Crossfit in 2009, and fully realized what the real magic behind its success is - the comaraderie and community that we have with our fellow members - our Crossfit Family.

Certifications: Olympic Lifting Certification

Favorite Oly Lift: Snatch

Favorite Hero WOD: "The Seven"

Favorite Girl WOD: Nancy of course!
