Zack is an Associate Coach at OPEX and recently graduated with his Masters in Exercise Science. Zack joined the team in June 2021 and typically works with clients interested in functional training, interval training, and behavioral coaching.

Throughout his 10 years of active duty he learned how to work with a team and perform in high-stress situations.

John is an Associate Coach at OPEX and former coach at OPEX Riverdale in the Bronx, NY. John joined the team in December 2020 and typically works with clients interested in functional bodybuilding and body re-composition. John discovered his passion for coaching training BJJ in his early 20’s and eventually moved into functional strength and conditioning. John is also our resident grill master and owner of every health and fitness product on the market.

Channy is our resident mobility/breathing expert and 5-star chef. When she’s not floor coaching or teaching her incredible Active Recovery class, she’s cooking up some fire Chilean Sea bass. Chantel is also incredibly dedicated to continuing education for coaches, so be sure to check in with her every so often to see if she learned anything new. Although she’s part-time for now, Chantel will soon join the full-time staff, so keep an eye out for her when she’s available for booking!

Francesco is the mastermind behind programming at our gym and is also an American hero. When he’s not lifting weights, doing BJJ or hanging out with his lab-mix Brooklyn (best name ever), he is the Athletic Director at Bay Ridge Prep. Although Francesco is quite possibly the nicest human being in the gym, don’t let that fool you, he served overseas in Afghanistan while serving with the U.S. Navy and is a certified badass. The best part of all of this is that he and June are also engaged! #RelationshipGoals

June is the G.O.A.T. Not only is she the head coach at our gym, but she is also the Chief Fun Officer, she’ll make you laugh at any chance she gets. June is also the ultimate female role model. She conquered obesity, she never takes shit from any of the boys, and she is a true clinician of the human body. June will be working closely with all our clients, either through 1-on-1 coaching or on the floor. If you have a question, she can answer it!
