Jean St-Amand he/him
From soccer and baseball to martial arts and running, Jean
has been active in a variety of sports throughout his life. Jean
found CrossFit not long after turning 40 in late 2015, and right
from the start got comfortable pushing his limits and turned it
into part of his everyday routine, immediately seeing the
benefits outside of the gym. Jean is thrilled to be a CrossFit
and weightlifting coach, helping new and experienced athletes
of all ages achieve new milestones and improve their lives
through fitness. He’s also the host of the BoxJumper Podcast,focused on fitness and health.

Jason bond he/him
Jason started doing Crossfit in 2017 after looking for a way to jumpstart his fitness. He had some experience as a traditional “gym goer” but didn’t have any clear direction in his training. Joining the OnSide community introduced him to the Crossfit methodology, improved nutrition, the passion of the coaches and the support of this amazing community, all of which have led to massive gains in strength and overall wellness. Jason is very excited to help other people achieve their health and fitness goals too!
