Coaches
coach-avatar Bobby Armock

I pursued my love for fitness with education at Central Michigan University, majoring in exercise science and minoring in athletic coaching. Throughout college, I volunteered during my semester breaks training wrestlers and football players from my former high school. After school, I found a job as a personal trainer and eventually found an opportunity to help start Friction.

coach-avatar Mike Carr

During my freshman year of college, I signed up at a Globo gym because they were starting to offer CrossFit in one of their rooms. After a year or so, I came back to Friction Grand Rapids during my sophomore year of college and got my CrossFit L1, and started coaching. I then acquired my USAW L1 and started Victory Kid Barbell Club. I have since progressed from coach to manager, to now Co-Owner.
