Jade Jenny: Jade is the head trainer and co-owner of Champlain Valley CrossFit. Like most CrossFitters, Jade became addicted to CrossFit when he found it in the summer of 2009. Before CrossFit Jade followed the traditional globa gym, body builder routine, but after going through "Fran" as his first workout, he knew there would be no going back to curls and leg extensions. Shortly after finding CrossFit, Jade found there was no affiliate in Vermont and set out to open Vermont's first CrossFit affiliate. Although CVCF is not the first affiliate in Vermont, it is the first in Chittenden county, and the 2nd in Vermont. Jade dedicates most of his life to the entire lifestyle of CrossFit, reading, watching, training, learning, so that he can ever improve himself as a coach, educator and athlete. Jade believes that the CrossFit lifestyle is the key to becoming a healthy, happy, fit individual, and wants to introduce it to all that are interested. Jade is a native Vermonter, he attended High School in South Burlington, and received his B.S in Business, Summa Cum Laude from Champlain College.

Scott was introduced to CrossFit workouts in the summer of 2010, by a friend returning from service in the Middle East, and was immediately hooked. He started training with the CVCF crew soon after, and has fully embraced the CrossFit lifestyle.
