RICH

The only thing better than going to Trader Joe’s is talking to a real-life Trader Joe’s aficionado… who also happens to be one hell of a boxer. Good thing for all of us, both of those talents live within Rich. San Francisco born and Bay Area raised, Rich has been a manager for the internet’s favorite grocer for almost 20 years and opened several locations across the city. (Is there anything better than a friend – let alone a trainer – you can talk serious snacks with?) When he isn’t busy speculating with guests as to why their favorite seasonal items were discontinued, Rich gets to work in the gym. He’s been boxing for over five years and competitively rock climbs and boulders with his wife (a fitness instructor and part-time TJ’s associate, too). As a combat sports fan and overall enthusiast for life, Rich brings that excitement and passion into the classroom for an unforgettable, sweaty experience. You’ll need to dip into that TJ’s snack stash post-class.
