Evangelos is your not so average guy. He prioritizes his family and faith over work, and fits in his personal life when he can. He loves to workout and read books when not busy with the everyday, and enjoys to partake in deep and meaningful conversations.

Although once beginning to delve into the science of it all, he came to the realization that it’s just everything he’s ever done put into one workout or session – how could anybody not love that! But it wasn’t until mid 2022 that he began to train in the gym, utilizing the CrossFit methodology, and ultimately falling head over heels for the sport.
