Cliff Weaver

Assistant Group Class Coach

Cliff is an occasional assistant group class coach who brings humor and a laid back style to his coaching. An “off-the-couch” athlete who would often rather sit back and watch than exercise, Cliff excels at box jumps, keep away, and sprints — particularly when there are snacks involved. When he’s in the gym, you’ll often find him making the rounds, checking in on each athlete, and sometimes lending support when you’re stretching.
