As Seen In
Renee Max
As far back as I can remember, I was an active kid. At nine years old, I fell in love with ballet. I enjoyed the discipline and focus that was needed to execute each step and position. At age sixteen, I summered at the Chicago City Ballet School.
Years later, I walked into the local gym and knew I'd found my calling. At first, I had no clue what I was doing, but I began to learn. Like many women, my workouts initially consisted mostly of cardio and soon learned how to use the weights properly on the gym floor. I ran The Marine Marathon in Washington DC, the LA Marathon, and soon after, with the encouragement of my instructor, I got my spin certificate and began teaching classes.
In time, I transitioned out of my office job and committed myself to a serious change. I earned my personal training certification and became a full-time personal trainer at Equinox. Currently I do private training and group fitness class at Equinox.
I continue to stay up to date with the latest traditional and non-traditional workouts. I'm a certified Level 1 & 2 Precision Nutrition Coach, AFAA Certified Personal Trainer and hold certifications in TRX Suspension Training, Kettlebell 1 & 2, Steel Mace, Pre and Post-Natal and Schwinn, Keiser and SPIN indoor cycling.. In my 40's, I competed in two Figure Competitions where my knowledge about body building and nutrition went to the next level. Now, in my 50's, I still maintain many of the healthy habits that I learned years ago.I truly believe in the positive and long-lasting benefits of exercise and healthy eating.

Cristian found CrossFit in 2015 while in college, looking for a way to turn his lifestyle around. What started as a personal goal turned into something bigger: he’s lost over 120 pounds naturally over the past 11 years, became a certified nutritionist and along the way he found a real passion for coaching and helping others through their own transformation.
He started coaching CrossFit in Wilmington, NC in 2015, and his competitive background includes qualifying for CrossFit Regionals with a team in 2018, plus a 4th place finish in the Open division at Wodapalooza with a team.
For the past two and a half years, Cristian has coached strength and conditioning at Code 3 Hawthorne, especially drawn to Olympic weightlifting after more than 10 years of training the sport. He holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from NC State University, and is currently pursuing his MBA at UCLA Anderson while building a startup in the weight management space.
He’s excited to bring that same energy and community focus to Rypen and can’t wait to work with the team here.
We look forward to helping you reach new heights of athletic and human performance!
