ANGEL CABRERA

Crossfit Hardshells

 

GUEST BIO

“It’s better to bleed in training than bleed in a fight.” 

Originally from Los Angeles, Angel moved to Maryland as a teen where he began to pursue boxing as a sport. After a few successful fights, he injured his hand and was introduced to CrossFit. He is now the owner/coach at CrossFit Hardshells in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Angel’s wife and kids are a huge motivator in getting him out of bed every morning, and wanting to develop into the best version of himself.

He has a vision to create a space where people pursue fitness with health and longevity as the goal.
