CF - L1
Class Coach
Rob McAdams
Originally from Charleston South Carolina, Rob moved to Chicago with my wife, Kari, in 2023 to be closer to her family. We've been married five years and had a baby boy in November 2025, his name is Theo. He loves getting outside- biking, camping, sailing, to name a few! Fun Fact, Rob used to work full time as a boat captain, and has since made a career change into construction sales. But you can still find me teaching sailing part time in the Summer on Lake Michigan. He coached at Holy City CrossFit before his move to Chicago.
Something you’d recommend for someone starting out:
Small goals are super helpful when beginning a fitness journey. ie. Committing to a couple days a week for a month instead of for the whole year. Little wins keep the flame lit!
Your favorite thing about CEF:
It is an amazing community. Before I even started coaching it only took a week or two to get to know just about every person in my typical class. Everyone is extremely friendly and encouraging!
