CrossFit is turning the fitness world on its ear. The program, which aims to forge broad, inclusive fitness, inspires high levels of participation. CrossFit is known for its effectiveness at bridging the gap from sickness to wellness.  But the effective fitness program is expensive. 

CrossFit Kin is a 501(c)3 non profit organization providing fitness and nutrition classes at little to no-cost to lower-income families that would otherwise not be able to afford them. Our mission is to provide world-class health and wellness education and services to those adults and children who need it most. 

Our team consists of Dr. Brian Gervais and Coach Steve Rast.  

Dr. Brian Gervais is a licensed chiropractic physician.  He specializes in the treatment of soft tissue injuries with an emphasis on sports-related injuries.  He treats newborn children, elite distance runners and everyone in between. 

Coach Rast has over 15 years of experience as a trainer. He is an adjunct faculty member at the University of Oregon and conducts trainer seminars as a master trainer for several companies.

As healthcare and wellness professionals we have spent years working with thousands of people from almost all walks of life to help them lead healthier, more productive and pain-free lives through the empowerment of treatment, physical training and education.  There is a large swath of our community that we’ve been largely unable to reach and at the same time has had difficulty in accessing our services; families and individuals living at or near the poverty line.   As Founders of CrossFit Kin we will build a team of other like-minded professionals who want to put their talents to the best possible use.
