The Staff
Kenneth S. Urakawa MS CSCS
I am a Level 1 CrossFit Trainer (Level 2 under the old system), and am certified through the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist. I have also previously been certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and USA Weightlifting.
My approach to strength and conditioning is to address weaknesses and deficiencies, and then to develop a range of physical capacities. Once someone has created a strong foundation, it is far easier to achieve more specific goals.
I graduated from Butler University, in Indianapolis, Indiana, and received my Master’s degree from Arizona State University in Exercise Science, with a concentration in Sport Psychology. I have played soccer at the Collegiate and Semi-Pro level, and competed in a few Olympic Weightlifting meets.
In addition to personal training in traditional fitness settings, I have worked with athletes and teams in a variety of sports, and personnel in the Military, Law Enforcement, and Fire Fighting professions. I also teach a class on Sport Psychology at a local Community College.
I currently live in Chandler with my wife, Meredith, and our two children, Meghan and Kaz .
Meghan Cyr
Meghan is a lifelong athlete who grew up in Gilbert, AZ. She attended Highland High School, lettering in both Women’s Soccer and Football. She continued her soccer career at the Collegiate Level, playing at the University of Redlands, where she also earned a B.S. in Business Administration and an M.B.A.
Meghan started CrossFit in 2008, and has been hooked ever since. She has also developed a passion for distance running, competing in several Marathons and Half-Marathons each year–occasionally on the same weekend! She recognizes the benefits of a varied Strength and Conditioning program, and has seen the results in her own performances.
Meghan is a Level 1 CrossFit Trainer, and is also certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

Hello everyone! My name is Ben Lunak. I am a proud Marine that was
injured in Iraq, but I have not let my injury stop me from achieving
any goal that I set out for myself!
I am a highly motivated individual! I have been involved with CrossFit for two years, and
I have been training people for about a year now. I have a crazy itch to learn as
much as possible! I love to be around people, more so if they are motivated!
I love to train people that want to be there and are willing to put in work!
