Mohammed Hassan

Originally from Cairo, Egypt, Mohammed moved to Atlanta, GA in 2011 for grad school. After a long PhD journey that took a toll on him both physically and mentally, he was looking for ways to get in shape, be active, and feel better. That's when he found CrossFit!

What started as a pursuit for more activity ended up being a life-changing experience. CrossFit played a huge role in shifting his lifestyle, diet, routine, physical appearance…everything! His peers and coaches noticed how passionate he was about CrossFit and how much he loved helping other people, so they encouraged him to coach. He earned his CF-L1 certificate in March 2019, then went through a rigorous 2-month Instructor Training Program (ITP) at his gym, CrossFit Midtown, that exposed him to the many aspects of coaching.

So far, Mohammed has earned his CF-L2 (2020) and CF Gymnastics (2021) certificates, and has accumulated 650+ hours of coaching (550+ group classes and 100+ 1-on-1's) in a journey that still remains so rewarding!

My ideal workout would include squat cleans.

Outside the gym, you can find me in Everett for either my full-time job at Boeing, or flight training out of Paine field.

A really cool experience I’ve had is I can't pick one but a few come to mind: my 6-month stay in Ireland, my 1-day trip to Rome and the Vatican, driving through a tropical storm in the Canary Islands, swimming in cenotes in Mexico…there are many! Ask me. ;)
