Getting Started

MEET OUR INCREDIBLE TRAINERS

We take pride in having a team of experienced trainers onsite to help you through every stage of your CrossFit training.  What do we mean by experienced trainers? It is a requirement that each one our trainers have or are obtaining college degrees that correlate directly with exercise/health/fitness/nutrition related fields that pertain to anatomy and physiology. They also hold many CrossFit certifications. We have infinite experience compared to any CrossFit box around. Our team didn’t just go to a weekend seminar and take a short test. What does this mean for you? Less risk of injury we stay on the leading edge of injury prevention by having a knowledgeable staff. Our Team is always ready to offer advice. Our team will motivate and train you to get in the greatest shape of your life!

OWNER

Juliana Resendez

My mission is to provide an atmosphere of education, understanding and practical application for every client so that they may have the capability to be self-sufficient. To be “fit” is not only being strong, toned, or at a certain weight. Fitness encompasses everything from strength,

to power, endurance, mobility, nutrition, and mentality. You may have big muscles, but how healthy is your heart? Do you eat enough or are you starving yourself thinking that will help you reach your goal in a healthy way? Skinny is not always “fit” and “fat” is not a bad word. Fitness and nutrition when done as intended has proven to not only change the body, but also the mind and even to cure diseases. My job as a coach is to teach you a lifestyle that you can adapt as your own and teach others to do so as well. Most importantly I want to show you that fitness is fun and being part of a community that believes in you is incredibly important. At JR CrossFit – will consider it an honor to be a part of your fitness journey. I am, Because We Are!

COACH

Matt Page

Growing up, Matt has always been involved in sports. From soccer, to baseball, to wrestling, to basketball, and finally settling on football for the long run through high school. Being an “athlete” has been his way of life for as long as he remembers.

After college and being a newlywed (and picking up the few pounds that happens w/ that) he picked up his shoes and started running. But that just made him feel skinny, not strong. After running in a half marathon, he decided to get back into the weight room. After being talked into a box by a longtime friend over 8 years ago, he’s never looked back. He realized his new passion of making people the best possible version of themselves. Whatever your goal, he wants to help you reach it. He’s used his fitness gained from years of CrossFit to ride the Hotter’n’Hell Hundred (a 100-mile bike race), climb 2 14,000ft mountains, and numerous other things most nearing their 40s cannot.

COACH

Haylie Hickman

Haylie, for as long as she can remember, has been interested in the field of exercise and human development. After graduating high school, Haylie moved to Natchitoches, Louisiana, where she began working on her Bachelor’s of Science in Health and Exercise Science.

She took an internship with Baylor Cardiac Rehabilitation Clinic in Dallas, Texas as part of her under-grad. Upon graduating, she moved to Waco, Texas to complete her internship at Providence Hospital in Cardiac and Pulmonology Rehabilitation. She is currently enrolled at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor working towards her PhD in Exercise Physiology. From a young age, she was always making up diet and exercise regimens for family and friends. Nutrition was something she was always passionate about. Her whole life has been dedicated to maintaining and promoting healthy lifestyles for herself and the people surrounding her. During her time at Northwestern State, she began working with personal trainers daily to build onto her already healthy and active lifestyle. From there, she decided to give Crossfit a try. Haylie instantaneously became hooked. Crossfit pushed her to limits she didn’t think she could achieve physically. She fell in love with the multitude of aspects that Crossfit puts athletes through. She was able to embrace her gymnastic background in daily WOD’s which was something she loved to do. After six months of countless workouts, Haylie decided to go for her L1-CF. She wanted to be more knowledgeable about Crossfit; wanted to know everything there is to know. Knowledge is power.

COACH IN TRAINING

Orlando Montelogo

I started crossfit in a friends backyard in 2004 and was hooked almost immediately after my first WOD. Crossfit is something that grew on me and the more and more I did it the more I wanted to learn about the methodology behind it.

There’s so much value packed into Crossfit and with having a 12 year old it’s exciting to show him the ropes into probably the best fitness solution out there. CrossFit is life changing and it continues to prove that everyday. I’m lucky to call myself a CrossFit coach and help people achieve their fitness potential one WOD at a time.

I was born and raised right here in Waco Texas. I have always been an athletic person all through middle school and high school. I had my hands in everything from softball to competitive cheerleading,

but after several years and the birth of 3 children my health and fitness level declined to a point where I realized it was time for a change. After working out with other fitness regiments I found my home at JR CrossFit where I have been ever since. I have many years in the customer service industry so I was very excited when approached by JR to learn front office operations as well as getting to greet all the new faces coming into the gym.
