Kirill was born in Russia before moving and growing up in Norman Oklahoma. He spent his summers in Albuquerque NM. He found Rugby in high school and had many opportunities to play for his high school and colleges in both cities. He found CrossFit in 2019 with the help of a mentor who saw him in the gym doing what he described as “Bro Workouts” and loved both the energy and community that came it. He believes that everything happens for a reason and that God has a path designed for you with struggles that you will overcome, and that hard work and consistency will always prevail over luck in the end. He wanted to earn his CF-L1 to help other people on their journey through fitness and cheer them on as a coach. He loves to play rugby, lift heavy things with friends, and is always down for sushi!
