Cam comes to us from Portland,Oregon. He arrived in Shreveport in 2004 to continue his baseball and academic career at Centenary College. He earned his B.S. in Health and Exercise Science in 2006. More important, Cam also met his wife Carly, a former member of the women’s Centenary basketball team at Centenary.  We’ll let Cam tell you the rest of his story:

“After the completion of my degree and hanging up my spikes, I started working at a ‘Wellness Center.’  Feeling burned-out from 5 years in the college weight room setting, I took off about 9 months…and I did nothing!  I was bored, lazy and gaining weight. I heard about CrossFit through some folks at the gym.  I spent a few weeks doing some research on CrossFit and checking out the main site looking for “a catch.” After finally convincing myself to give it a try, I did a workout and I was hooked. In one year I lost 30 pounds and was stronger and fitter than when I played college baseball. With my passion for coaching and teaching others, I knew I had to join this amazing community of athletes and start a CrossFit in the Shreveport/Bossier area. I am a true believer in this “Sport of Fitness” and have first hand knowledge of what CrossFit can do for you. It changed my life and I know it can do the same for you.”

  • B.S. Health & Exercise Science
  • CrossFit Level I
  • CrossFit Basic Barbell Certification
  • Advance national coaching diploma, “C” License for coaching

John is a member of the great Shreveport Police Department.  He began training people in 2003 and has coached or trained people from all walks of life, from olympic hopefuls to successful business men and women.  He originally began training because he wanted to help people live active and exciting lives.  ”So many individuals sit at home glued to the TV and do not venture into the world because of a bad self image, or think they are happier doing nothing. I have found that CrossFit truly brings the best out of everyone and makes them better at life. It is hard work but the results are outstanding.”

  • CrossFit Level 1 Trainer
  • CrossFit Kettlebell Certification
  • CrossFit Endurance Certification
  • CrossFit Movement and Mobility Certification
  • Whole 9 Foundations of Nutrition Workshop

Trey, an accountant at O’Brien Energy Company, opened Red River CrossFit with John and Cam because he is passionate about health and fitness & has found that CrossFit is the best method of achieving high levels of both. He was training for a marathon and thought he was in pretty good shape when he found CrossFit.  ”My first two WODs were Fight Gone Bad and Filthy 50 – I don’t even think I finished them but they definitely made me reconsider my level of fitness.”  After the marathon, he took two weeks off and began following the CrossFit main-site and it’s been CrossFit ever since.  ”I still run a half marathon or do a triathlon every year but I do very little actual training for those events.  CrossFit prepares me to take on any challenge with little specific preparation.  That’s what I love about it.”   To Trey, CrossFit is more than an exercise program.  It’s a culture based around a healthy, active and fulfilling lifestyle.

Steph Donovan, a.k.a Bruiser

  • CrossFit Level 1 Coach
  • Whole 9 Foundations of Nutrition Workshop

Steph has always been an athlete, competing in swimming and softball throughout high school.  She went to Penn State where she majored in Mechanical Engineering. After graduation, she moved to Houston to work in the oil and gas industry. For two and half years, her only physical activity was the monotony of the globo-gym: treadmill, elliptical, and weight machines. At the time, she actually thought she was getting a good workout… and then in February 2010, she was introduced to CrossFit.

“My life changed after I completed my first WOD at CrossFit West Houston. I was hooked. It had been years since I was in such a physically demanding environment, and I had forgotten how much I missed it. My competitive spirit was reborn, and after 4 months in the CrossFit community, I began enrolling in every local competition I could. My biggest achievement so far was a 4th place finish in the CrossFit Katy Bring the Heat Challenge in the women’s scaled division in August 2010. My goal for the upcoming competition season is to compete in the standard division – and the journey to reach it couldn’t be more exciting.

I came to Red River CrossFit in September 2010 when I was transferred to Shreveport for my job. I am honored and thrilled to be part of the coaching staff here since I now have the opportunity to share my love for CrossFit with others. Anyone can do CrossFit on their own, but the reason I go to the box is to feel the interaction and the competition among the athletes, and to push each other and cheer each other on. I LOVE that about CrossFit – the camaraderie is unmatched in any other training program. I want to motivate others and to push them to, and beyond, their limits, the way CrossFit is supposed to.”
