Simon Mead is an athlete who has been committed to sports and physical health since childhood. This has ranged from making Auckland rep teams in cricket to achieving a black belt in Shaolin Kempo martial arts as a young teen. He started CrossFit in 2016 to keep in peak physical shape for his acting career and has found an equally important passion for it.

I know the joy of achieving a new skill and the feeling of gratification when you improve, whether that be in your first month of CrossFit or your second year. This community has inspired me to achieve my goals and I want to continue to introduce that feeling to others.

• CrossFit Auckland Intern Program.
• CrossFit® Online Spot the Flaw Course.
• CrossFit® Scaling Course.

I’ll be at my current acting job, whether that’s a theatre gig, a tv show, or a class; or training at the box with fellow coaches.
