About Us
Get to Know Us
CrossFit OZP has its humble beginnings in a backyard garage right here in Ozone Park. We started with one-on-one training due to the pandemic in 2021 and we have continued to grow organically into the only CrossFit gym in the area. We pride ourselves on our top notch coaching, programming, and community. Everyone from someone who is walking into a gym for the first time, to a competing athlete will be challenged and will benefit from our programs. The CrossFit methodology of training allows us to teach, coach, and mentor athletes of all fitness levels. Our coaches knowledge and experience will ensure we give you the appropriate exercises to help you reach your goals safely and effectively no matter your fitness level.

Jimmy
Head Coach & Owner
My coaching journey started as a U.S. Army Drill Sergeant in 2005. I enjoyed helping people make the transformation from civilian to Soldier so when I found CrossFit in 2014 I knew I could help people transform their lives in a different way. CrossFit completely changed my life and I knew that I wanted to help others feel that. I’ve spent the last 5 years coaching athletes and in 2021 started to build our OZP community. I am a CrossFit Level 2 Coach and program all the workouts at CrossFit OZP.
Brenda
Coach
I began my CrossFit journey in late 2018. What started as something that was fun and could make me stronger became a passion. The community is like no other, friends become family and I am stronger and healthier than I have ever been in my life. CrossFit work outs are challenging but worth the effort. As a mother of two young kids it is important for my kids to watch me constantly push myself even when things get hard. For me, CrossFit is the perfect balance of Stregnth, Coditioning, Endurance, Intensity and a really good time. In 2021 , CrossFit OZP became my home away from home. I knew that I wanted to be able to share my passion with others and have them experience the benefits of CrossFit along side me so I became a Level 1 Ceritfied Coach and now , helping others is a huge part of my life!
Luis
Coach
I started CrossFit at the end of 2017 and really decided to make a change in 2020. I began my journey weighing in at 300lbs and a promise to my daughter to keep up with her energy and drive. I have always had a competitive drive. I did competitive fencing 🤺 for 16 years, I had perseverance, I had purpose but there was something missing. I started training 1 on 1 with Jimmy in 2020 in his backyard. Day in and Day out I would train and he would always encourage me and tell me I could do this. “It’s a Mindset”, his famous saying after every hard and gruleing work out. Life was different after that. CrossFit OZP saved my life and now I help members see what they are capable of doing with a little push. Wearing a great big smile and with pride I welcome you to try CrossFit OZP. Mindset over Everything.
