Boone has pursued a life-long love of sports from Basketball and Lacrosse to Wakeboarding and Rock-climbing, and nearly everything in-between. Boone is a CrossFit Level-I certified trainer and is certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
A Message from Boone:
Sports, Fitness, and Health have always been passions of mine, and I had tried every training program under the sun. CrossFit brought the three together in a combination that made sense and just plain worked. I saw incredible results in my own CrossFit training, but it wasn’t until I started using CrossFit to train others, that I was truly blown away by the results that the program can achieve. I love the community/family we’ve built at CrossFit Austin. Going to the gym daily and watching people sweat, laugh, strive, and progress makes everyday worthwhile.

Tristy “Mac” Stephens
Bio:
Tristy is Crossfit Level I and Crossfit Nutrition certified. She rowed for Lake Lanier Rowing club for 4 years during high school and then went on to row for Armstrong Atlantic State University.
A Message from Tristy:
My passion for fitness and nutrition is the reason I wake up in the mornings!
I have always enjoyed being active and have wanted to be able to do something with my life that would help improve other people’s lives. It wasn’t until I was introduced to Crossfit in October of 2008 that I found a way to do that. I am extremely passionate about helping people improve their self image and helping them realize what they are truly capable of. I think there are a lot of people in the world who do not know what they are capable of, and they go through life accepting the funk that they are in. I refuse to let people settle for being less than they can be. I’ve seen what people can do when they are given the tools and instruction they need. It takes some folks longer or a little more hard work than others, but in the end, they succeed! There is nothing more rewarding for me than watching someone finally reach a goal that they have sacrificed and worked hard to reach.
I feel truly blessed to be a part of the Crossfit Austin family and such an inspirational community. It is tremendously exciting and humbling to have the opportunity to coach some of the most outstanding individuals I’ve had the pleasure of meeting!

Chad Vaughn
Bio:
Chad Vaughn is an Olympic-Style Weightlifting Specialist. He is a 2-time Olympian, 5-time National Champion, and an American Record Holder in that sport. This type of Weightlifting is a proven Rock in improving overall athletic ability and is a tool that is utilized throughout CrossFit.
A Message From Chad:
As I have traveled the world in competition, I have taken the time to study the worlds best of the best in many different sports. Yes, their training methods and daily routines leading up to and during competition; but more than just that; as in the end there are many, many different methods and philosophies that will lead to improvement. I began to wonder; What did all these people have in common? It was simply that they ALL stuck with something, didn’t give up when things went wrong, persevered and became better for it, and SIMPLY showed up. SIMPLY showing up is MOST of the battle. If you want to improve and see how good you can be, in any sport or in your daily life, and want to meet whatever goal(s) you may have, then I challenge you to just SHOW UP; show up right here at CrossFit Austin where the Trainers know how to succeed!
“Success is largely a matter of holding on after others have let go.”
