Clayton Ferrer

Clay was first introduced to CrossFit while on vacation in Southern California in 2011. Like many people who have yet to experience it, he was initially skeptical of the ability to get a killer workout in only a few minutes time. The 2011 CrossFit Games quickly changed that view, and ultimately, his entire life. Anxiously awaiting the challenges posed by the next event, Clay was astounded by what these athletes were able to do and enjoyed the camaraderie and competitive atmosphere in which they were doing it. In the months and years that followed, CrossFit became much more than just a training regimen and hobby for Clay – it was a growing passion and a new lifestyle, and one that would be constantly reinforced by the amazing community around him.

Clay is a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer and member of the coaching staff at Ballston CrossFit in Arlington, Virginia, where he was one of the first members when it opened in early 2012. Over the last three years, Clay has witnessed the growth of an incredible community at Ballston CrossFit and has seen countless examples of peoples’ lives changing for the better as a result of CrossFit. It is this aspect of CrossFit, one that may not have been immediately visible to Clay when first watching the CrossFit Games (but which was certainly present!), that led to the creation of Rigquipment Finance and Clay’s desire to help strengthen and expand the CrossFit community.

Clay graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.S. in Commerce from the McIntire School of Commerce with a concentration in finance.
