Coach Chappie started  Alpine Ranch CrossFit inside his home garage in 2013. He received his CrossFit Level I Trainer certification and started small by training his wife, Arlene, and her two friends. Within 6 months he had 15 athletes training 3 days a week. By 2015, 15 turned into 50 and he was running 3 classes a day 5 days a week out of their 3-car garage. Chappie expanded his coaching knowledge receiving several more certifications to include his CrossFit Level II Trainer certification. Arlene was hooked and received her CrossFit Level I Trainer certification. In 2016, Chappie & Arlene went all in. They closed down the garage and moved to a 2600sqft space inside the beautiful Viejas Outlet Center! Within one week, the gym exploded to 100 athletes. He hired a staff of amazing coaches and continued to grow the gym family offering Adult, Teen & Youth CrossFit, Olympic Lifting, Yoga, and Specialized Classes for Adaptive Athletes. By 2020, the gym family outgrew their space and expanded to an awesome 5000sqft facility. Being a Law Enforcement Officer and an Adaptive Athlete himself, Chappie has designed the gym environment to be a Safe and Humble place for all ages and abilities to find their Inner Warrior.
