Frouke

CrossFit® Affiliate Owner

The best thing we did to professionalise our gym was to work with Farran. She helped us tremendously in developing our coaching staff and took a lot of work and stress away from me as a business owner.

Willem

CrossFit® Affiliate Owner

Working with you has not only brought clarity and structure to our operations but also acted as a much-needed motivator. You function as a pleasant 'guiding hand', a constant and encouraging presence. Your positive approach and genuine desire to help, coupled with your structured methods, have been incredibly effective for me.

Elaine

Part-time trainer

You provided a framework to help me define what good coaching looks like for MY members. The flexibility was key...I could go through the materials on my own time but still stay on track.

Melanie

CrossFit® Head Coach

What stood out to me was that this program wasn’t about forcing a rigid approach—it gave me the space to explore what works for me and my coaching team. I felt supported at every step, and I loved being able to go deeper into how to develop coaches in a way that truly lasts.
