STEVEN HARRIS
Coach
Steven Harris was raised in small town Ohio and began his athletic career from an early age. He would play any sport that was in season at the time, enjoying the team comradery and competitve aspects.
In college, he pursued a career in Social Work, as well as coached the local high school baseball team. During the day he would work with at-risk youth, and at night he would coach. Working with these young men, Steven applied workout regimens to not only build foundations in strength, but also to help with coping mechanisms, team building, and stress relief.
Steven then moved to Austin in 2014 where he started personal training and walked through the doors of Jaakarhu. Through the last 7 years, Steven has continued his growth on the professional level, traveling regionally to certify other trainers, help launch a program that impacts thousands of members a day across the United States, and is one of the top personal trainers in Austin year after year.
Steven has also put in massive amounts of work in the gym himself to make the 2017 and 2018 CrossFit Regional teams, placing 9th and 8th, respectively.
When it comes to fitness, Steven is a big believer in technique, knowing how to fix injuries, stabilization movements, and getting after it. Outside the gym, he speaks on healthy eating, healthy living, and being a great person in the community.
