Charly Sith

OWNER/HEAD COACH/SUPER GREETER 

Charly Sith

Owner/Head Coach/Super Greeter

Owner Charly Sith has been CrossFitting for five years and specializes in making people laugh. Oh yeah, he's also pretty good at making people feel welcome at CrossFit Rising Legends, too.

Charly was a personal trainer and group instructor for a number of years, but he felt like he wasn’t improving his own well-being. "I decided to try out a class at a local box and haven't looked back since," he says. "I started training there and even implemented some of the CrossFit methodologies with my own clients and classes. One of those classes was a boot camp for a more senior crowd. They ALL saw results. They ALL shared with me how much better they felt, and all I did was more CrossFit. I knew I was onto something special."

Not only is Charly a determined DADBOD destroyer, he also has a softer, nuttier side. Kinda like a Snickers. "I'm a loving father and a Disney nut." Charly is just the type of well-rounded, jovial individuals you will encounter at CrossFit Rising Legends.

OWNER/L1 COACH

David Ho

Owner/L1 Coach

I specialize in chewing bubble gum, kicking ass, and taking names “And I'm all out of bubble gum,” ...  *looks around the room* At the end of the day, I’m here to see people experience the excitement of surpassing their own limits, I want them to get excited and look forward to accomplishing every one of their goals (and goals they never even thought they had)". There’s just something about beating your own records and surpassing your own limits that really gets you pumped and want to take on the world. Trying something you NEVER thought you'd do and then actually accomplishing it!?.... it's just a whole other level of gratification you have to feel for yourself.

Brian Jones

Kids/Teen Coach, L1 Coach

Brian played a variety of youth sports growing up like most kids, and loved the competition. Which led him to Racing. Brian drove a Dirt Modified at the professional level for over 10 years. After he started a family he began to focus on youth sports. He became very involved in coaching. Brian has coached and trained travel soccer for close to 10 years. Players ranging from recreation to premiere travel. While doing this he was introduced to CrossFit. And this became a passion. He found a way to help train athletes that will build them as individuals and prepare them for whatever sport they participate in. So when he’s not in the gym training athletes you can find him hiking, mountain biking or just spending time with his family.

Carl Begonia

L1 Coach/Shortest Shorts Wearer

Born and raised in Rockland county NY. I started my CrossFit journey in 2011 when preparing for the GORUCK Challenge with my now wife Ingrid Begonia. Before CrossFit I was a typical gym member and focused on training for multiple Toughmudder events. In 2015, I took my level one certification to increase my knowledge of CrossFit as well as the US Weightlifting Coaching Course. My favorite movements are the Olympic weightlifting and least favorite are toes to bar!
