Matt Jerrild

From a young age, Matt was always active—whether it was playing soccer, baseball, pond hockey, or diving into rollerblading, skateboarding, wakeboarding, skiing, and snowboarding. Today, he's narrowed those activities down to mountain biking and snowboarding, where the sense of freedom on the trails and slopes keeps him coming back for more. CrossFit gives him a similar feeling—the variety, challenge, and endless possibilities always keep things fresh.

Matt's CrossFit journey began in 2015 back in his home state of Connecticut. After 5-6 years of traditional strength training, calisthenics, and light running, he craved something more dynamic (shout out to Dynamic Athletics, his first box)—and CrossFit delivered. It challenged him in new ways every day and reignited my passion for fitness. In 2018, Matt began coaching at a gym in the San Francisco Bay Area, and now is excited to be part of the 7x7 family!

Matt believes that helping others reach their goals is incredibly rewarding, and watching progress in fitness is always inspiring. Beyond the gym, Matt stays busy with other hobbies like chess and guitar, both of which have been a part of his life for over 20 years.
