Coaches

Who coaches you.

Bo Aartun

Owner and coach

CrossFit Level 1 and Level 2 Trainer, CrossFit Kids, and USA Weightlifting certified.

Born in Chongqing, China and raised in Pickens, SC from the age of ten, Bo grew up loving the outdoors and hard work, which naturally pulled him toward group training and functional fitness. For more than a decade, he has taught functional movements at Youth Leadership Academy, building passion through hard work and shared effort, one of the most rewarding parts of his work.

Farm Fitness Project came from that: a desire to create a community where people feel like they belong. Working out together, encouraging each other, and enjoying the process, not just the results.
