It is with great excitment that Reebok CrossFit 306 would like top officially welcome Kent Brown as part of our coaching staff. Kent has been part of 306 for over three years, and continously demostrates the "Community above all else" mantra that we preach. Kent has become an excellent powerlifter over the last couple years, taking silver at the national championships in both 2014 and 2015.
Kent will now be helping our powerlifters reach new heights, and help all 306 members improve their lifts. Kent will work closely with Marc Morris who will continue to provide the strategic direction for our Powerlifting club. Please join me in welcoming Kent to the 306 coaching team.

Kent Brown:
I grew up in a small town, Zealandia, about an hour west of Saskatoon. Ever since I can remember I've always been a very competitive and an aggressive person in any sports that I played. Growing up I played hockey, football, soccer really anything that was a contact sport. Being smaller, only 5'7 on a good day and weighing 150 pounds, I was always looking to get stronger so I could be competitive with my larger competitors.
After high-school sports were over my focus on fitness really started to decline and I was your regular guy trying to go to the gym 3 times a week and hitting chest every day and no legs.
In the winter of 2012 I found Reebok Crossfit 306 which allowed my competitive spirt to once again come out and slowly began to rebuild my body and core after years of improper training. Around 8 months later, the gym started its power lifting program and I was hooked and have rarely missed a training session since then.
Achievements:
2014 National Power Lifting Championship - 2nd place
2014 Western Canadian Power Lifting Championship - 2nd place
2015 National Power Lifting Championship - 2nd place
One of the top 20 classic power lifters in Saskatchewan
Vitals:
Height: 5'7
Weight: 148-150 lbs
Back Squat: 410 lbs
Bench: 300 lbs
Deadlift: 440 lbs
Wilks: 411.26

We look forward to having Sarah's infectious personality retun to 306.
Please help me in congratulating Sarah on her return as our CF Endurance coach.

It is with great excitement that 306 would like to officially welcome three new coaches as well as a new head coach to our Olympic lifting program.
Joel Baryluk - Joel has been a passionate cross fitter for five years and has demonstrated incredible understanding of biomechanics and the importance of athlete safety. He brings a lot of natural enthusiasm and is a welcome addition to our team. Joel has taking over the Saturday program.
Logan Brown - Logan is the original 306'er. Starting with us on opening day, Logan has steadily become a student of CrossFit furthering his skills and understanding over the last three years. Logan has begun to coach the Sunday program.
Matt Shenher - Fresh off his completion of his engineering degree, Matt has decided to turn his strong analytical skills and complement them with his passion for health and fitness and coaching. Matt will be working full time, taking over the M-F morning shift. His professionalism, attention to detail, and his easy going nature has made him a perfect fit to follow in the footsteps of Rebecca Winterhalt and assume the role of morning coach.
Jeff Woo- Jeff continues his incredible rise as a motivating coach with a keen eye on technique. Jeff will continue to coach a few 7pm classes but his attention will now be on fully developing our 306 Weightlifting Program.
I will continue to program for the gym and coach all the evening classes M-F. Rebecca will be taking on all tasks that are related to bettering our community and the athlete experience.
Please join me in congratulating these men on their new posts within our wonderful community.
In health,
- Coach
