Matt Torres is best known in the CrossFit landscape as the Head Coach and Founder of Brute Strength Athletics. He has coached athletes at the top level all the way to the CrossFit Games through remote coaching. Recently Brute Force Athletics decided to make the step to an in person training camp and has quickly solidified themselves as one of the powerhouse training groups with CrossFit Games athletes like Danielle Brandon, Dallin Pepper, Emma Cary and top tier SemiFinal athletes like James Sprague and Fee Saghafi who are looking to punch their tickets to the Games this year. He also played College Football at Central Michigan University as Wide Receiver and where he earned a degree in broadcasting.
Matt talks about how he had to adjust his life after he lost everything when his apartment was destroyed during Hurricane Ian earlier this year and how the CrossFit community rallied around to support him. Even in adversity his focus was always on everyone else and getting back to training his athletes to hit their goals.
