“I was first introduced to CrossFit in 2009 by other former college athletes looking to maintain a high-level of fitness and train in a competitive environment. I knew I wouldn’t be able to train any other way after I found CrossFit. The physical and mental strength gained through CrossFit have made a permanent impact on my life”

“I got my start with CrossFit in 2011 after finally succumbing to the peer pressure from my brother. I walked into CrossFit Delaware Valley, did my first WOD, finished last, and then emailed the coach the next day saying, ‘I’m in!’ I haven’t looked back since.”
TED KOBI
CrossFit Level 1, CrossFit Level 2, CrossFit Gymnastics, CrossFit Rowing, CPR/AED Certified
Coach Ted
Ted hails from outside Pensacola, Florida where he graduated from Pace High School. He served proudly in the US Navy for 9 years. Since leaving the Navy, Ted moved up and down the east coast as an engineer before finally landing in Savannah. His athletic background began in high school with track, cross-country, and football. Stricken by his father’s early passing, Ted began a fitness resolution in 2000. He prioritized fitness and began a running hobby that would take him from distances as short as 1 mile to multiple ultra marathons. The grueling pace and distances took their toll, and Ted needed a change. Enter CrossFit High Tide. He transformed from a stiff, creaky runner to a well-oiled, long-bearded, fire breather.
“I have always enjoyed cheering people on and helping push others through mental and physical barriers, but personally experiencing this ride over the past 2 years drove me to acquire my CrossFit Level 1 certificate and begin helping others along their fitness journey as part of the High Tide Family.”

“CrossFit taught me a lot – not only about the sport of fitness but also about myself. It doesn’t matter if you come in first or last; rather, it’s about the effort you put in. That effort goes far beyond the four walls of the gym.”
It was great talking with you today Matt and I look forward to the classes with Juli and yourself. You were very informative. And, I think it is wonderful that you can modify CrossFit for disabled vets! See you CFHT on opening day.
