Lead Trainer Caleb Hankins
Highschool: Jefferson City High School
Certificates: CF-OL1, CPR, AED, Teaching Cert. In MO and AR.
College and Experience: Graduated from Harding University in Searcy, AR with a BS in Math. Worked as a camp counselor for many years in Jeff, teaching kids how to canoe, fish, and shoot arrows. I’ve also worked as a youth intern for a church in Dallas Texas and took a summer trip to Rwanda with Africa Reads in College to teach basic English vocabulary to 3rd and 4th years. I am currently in my third year teaching Math at Thomas Jefferson Middle school, where I also coach a few sports on the side.
Love about CrossFit: What better way to do something that challenges your every aspect of life than to do it with people just as driven and consistent as you. The rooster crew and many others have seen me progress, so, every workout, the crew around me refuses to let me slack off. The community keeps you accountable and that makes it so tough but also so exciting. When you see someone PR a big lift after watching them work so long and so hard, it makes it thrilling.
Favorite mobility: The part of inch worm where you start to walk your hands back is heavenly. I have such tight hamstrings so I can set there forever and still feel a stretch. The rest of the stretch/warmup is good too, just that part specifically makes me feel really good.
Favorite WOD: Jerry. 1 mile run: 2000 meter row, 1 mile run. Running is something that comes very natural to me, so I’m a big fan of Jerry. Also, anything with a heavyish clean or deadlift. Something about those two lift makes you feel like the Hulk when you hit them well.
Least Favorite WOD: Any WOD with a bench press. Not even a second thought. Literally anything else. I’d rather do max cal echo sprints than bench press. I have been blessed with orangutan arms. They are great for many things like volleyball, rowing, kip swings, but are horrible for pushing anything. When the bar hits my chest it feels like an eternity to hit full extension. There was a workout that was Cindy with a twist. 150 WB’s but every time you dropped the ball you had to do a set of bench press at 185. I tried my absolute hardest to go unbroken so that I didn’t have to bench. I failed at 80 and the rest of the workout went downhill.
Trainer Jamie Faulconer
High School: I did track (sprints not distance). I also did one year of basketball
Degrees: Masters and Undergrad in Criminal Justice.
Certificates: Level 1 CrossFit
Experience Career last 10 Years: I currently work for CASA and we advocate for children in foster care. I have spent my professional career trying to help families and children in the juvenile and child welfare systems.
Favorite Mobility: Prayer Lat stretch
Favorite WOD: I can’t think if of just one. I love Grace, Isabell, DT. Anything with a heavy barbell
Least Favorite WOD: Anything with high gymnastics movement. (See above on what my favorite is). This is a weaker point that I am continuing trying to improve.
Trainer Guy Provencal

Love about crossfit:
I love crossfit because of how it makes me feel—- strong, confident. I love crossfit because there is no finish line. I love the competition with myself, to push myself to master new skills, improve lifting techniques and form, lift heavy, and build strength.
Favorite Mobility: My favorite mobility stretches are the elbow to instep Stretch and frog stretch.
Favorite WOD: My favorite WODs are the long, tough, chipper workouts. These are WODs that allow me to build my stamina to keep going, to finish. One of my favorite WODs is 12 Days of Christmas.
