Our Team

Our team is comprised of a plethora of different individuals from different athletic experiences. There a two important factors that each of the staff possess: 1.) a passion for strength & conditioning, and 2.) experience in what we teach. We've been in the trenches, so to speak, doing what we ask our athletes to do.

Learn from our experiences, question the knowledge, and let's build together!

"When one teaches, two learn."

Andrew Bueno

Head Instructor, Commander of All Things Training

AB enjoys coffee, watching Action/Adventure/Fantasy/Sci-Fi films, shoes, the Oxford comma, and beef. He suffers from a slight Napoleon Complex and some sort of attention deficit disorder, which he credits to his ability to teach multiple people at once. Speaking of which, he's a big fan of Napolean pockets.

Tony Lau

Business Owner, Master Planner, Rocket Scientist, Dog Whisperer

The traveler, the Tonytail™, the tagline: "I'll make you famous,". Hailing from the sunny state of California, his aerospace career brought him up to the NW where he trained with AB. The two of them then decided to reopen up Foundation CrossFit in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. Because of this man, CFSLU and FCF aren't just gyms, but Think Tanks meant to eventually change the world.

Paolo Sanchez

Photographer/Videographer Extraordinaire

Pao likes to literally hang out. Almost as much as he likes jumping onto things that shouldn’t be jumped on (and they're usually taller than himself). Then again, he probably loves his cameras more than either of those. Check out his fantastic work here.

Blair Sutton

Study, Snatch, Clean, Jerk, Sleep. Repeat.

BCS splits her time between the laboratory and the lifting platform. When she isn’t researching sleep she likes picking up heavy things while wearing stylish knee-high socks. Someday she hopes to overcome her bitter hatred of running so that when the apocalypse comes, she won’t ever be caught.

His favorite movie is Dead Poets Society. When it comes to his favorite food it's a tie between the Country Mix at Tweedes and a Chicken Burrito Grande from Gorditos.

Mario Husmillo

Prince of Luon, Shirt Popper #1

He was born, raised, and will remain a Seattleite for life! If he's not training others or working out, you can probably find Mario hidden in a nearby coffee shop watching the latest and greatest CrossFit video on YouTube or listening in on an episode of Barbell Shrugged. He's quite fond of benching and loves sprint drills on legit 400m tracks. He and his fiancé like taking some serious trips whenever the opportunity comes. Also: "CrossFit is my passion. I eat, sleep, breathe, and even dream it! I LOVE COFFEE!"

When not CFing Les like to telemark and skate ski, as well as farm and garden. She found out that building chicken coops require much strength and stamina, and raising them requires speed, mobility, agility, and accuracy FOR REAL!

Amy Cotlow

Amy playing masskrugstemmen

Being one of the three people with a Plant Biology Degree from ASU, Amy surely belongs in the NW. She started her CF romance in April 2011 after getting out of a horrendous boot she was in for four months after an ankle break. Hella flexible, #hellabuff.

• CrossFit Level 1. Bellevue WA, April 2012

Ryan Salva

"Moonboots": a man of many tastes

Mr. Salva is an easy going guy and, like most of the other staff, never thought himself to eventually become a CrossFit trainer. His advice: don't CrossFit on an empty stomach- especially if the only thing you've eaten for the day was a cupcake for breakfast. This gem of knowledge came from his first CF workout that laid him out white as a ghost. Also: still looks like he's barely 17.
