HAYDEN HALL
Howdy! My name is Hayden, and I have been doing CrossFit since 2020. I played football and power lifted throughout my high school career and needed a place where I could receive coaching and be pushed to my best abilities. I found a local gym in Midland, Texas, and I was hooked immediately. When I got to Texas A&M for undergrad, I found a gym I loved and decided to obtain my L1 to start coaching. I coached for a couple years before moving to Houston last fall for law school. I am excited to be coaching again at Vintage!
NAM HUYNH
Nam was first introduced to CrossFit in May 2017 by his then fiancée (now wife) Annie. His fitness before CrossFit was mostly around what was offered at his apartment gym. When his wife first suggested him to try CrossFit, he was skeptical because of the intensity it was known for, but got hooked to it after the first couple of months of trying to learn all the gymnastics movements and technical aspects of Olympic lifting. As he gained experience, he quickly found that he wanted to help new members feel welcome and provide any tips that he was approached with. Fast forward to today, as a member of Vintage, not only did he make new friends, he also found an opportunity to go beyond giving one-on-one advice, to taking his CF-L1, and now to help as many people as he can with improving on their movements.
