Jas has a wealth of knowledge that he will share with you in your session – Always going that extra mile to ensure that you are achieving everything that you can. His caring nature is always evident – don’t be scared of this big cuddly bear!

Jas started CrossFit in 2006 after 20 years exploring, competing and coaching a variety of sports and training methods.

Where did it all start?

I had a few mates that did CrossFit in 2006. We didnt understand it so I organise a CrossFit Level 1 course in Perth, which turned out to be the first CrossFit course in Australia with the Founder Greg Glassman and Dave Castro instructing.

I quickly recognized CrossFit as a holistic method of gaining complete general and sports specific fitness.

I founded CrossFit Perth in 2008 while serving over 18 years in the Australian Army and implemented CrossFit into the Australian Defence Force.

I also conducted development training with the West Coast Eagles, Western Force, WAFL teams as well as corporate team development.

I am often asked if CrossFit is good having had injuries and so forth, I can honestly say after having had due to my military service 6 ankle operations, 2 knee operations and upper back issues that CrossFit done progressively has helped me get my body back together.

I now view my bad experience with military related injury’s as an asset to our coaching team in dealing with injury management and prevention.

Take advantage of my experience, millions of dollars and 18 years the Army spent training me.

What is CrossFit to you?

A means of staying fit and health and occasionally a sport.

Chippers and Hero workouts that require mental toughness

“Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in the muscles”

JAKE RUSSELL

In 2010 I began my Crossfit journey at the age of 14 as an overweight teen. I have never looked back, it has developed me physically and more importantly mentally from the amazing environment derived from community spirit and smart programming. For the last year I have taken a step back in my own training at Crossfit Perth whilst focusing on studying a Bachelor of Exercise Sport Science at Edith Cowan University and also playing Football (AFL). The knowledge gained through studying at ECU and the countless hours interning under the extremely qualified Jas Pelham Head coach has allowed me to help many clients reach their goals. My aim as a coach is to ensure each clients potential is reached in a safe and effective manner.

STEVE CAIRNEY

With Stephen’s witty nature and joker like personality – he will be sure to keep you entertained with your training and be there to cheer you on until the end of every workout.

My background in fitness includes a wide variety of sports from touch rugby to mixed netball, but mainly 15 years of basketball which took me on a month tour of America playing against high school teams and being champions in the under 18’s state league.

I was introduced to CrossFit by my fiancé who was looking for a new physical challenge – I was all against starting but now I enjoy every day I’m there.

What crossfit is to me:

Crossfit is more than a gym, it’s where I go to catch up with mates, to better myself physically and mentally, where I go to get my frustration out after work and normally the first place I get to see my wife after work, basically my second home.

Favourite WOD:

Hero WODs just for the mental challenge and the meaning behind them.

Double unders, pull ups, handstand pushups
