Mike Halliburton

I've been active and competitive for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I participated in nearly every sport—baseball, football, track and field, wrestling, soccer, and even automotive racing. I continued playing soccer, wrestling, and running track throughout high school, and my passion for competition grew. After graduating college in 2007, I began my career in the fitness space as a personal trainer and gym manager. While this was a rewarding experience, I still felt something was missing—the competitive drive that had always fueled my love for sports. In 2010, a friend introduced me to CrossFit, and that reignited the competitive fire in me. The intensity and challenge of CrossFit quickly became the outlet I had been searching for. In 2013, I earned my CrossFit Level-1 Certification and started training more regularly. A few years later, encouraged by gym members and fellow coaches, I began coaching CrossFit. It has been very fulfilling to help athletes of all levels push their limits and reach their full potential. Outside of the gym, I am a proud husband and father, and I continue to stay active and embrace new challenges, both in fitness and in life.
