Mike Rudder

Coach/Comedian

Mike loves making people smile, laugh, and feel right at home when they enter the gym. He also loves being at the gym and being surround people he knows and loves. “It’s a really uplifting and motivating atmosphere”. Mike also loves helping people walk through complex movements and make even minuscule amounts of progress. “Seeing form click in someones head or push themselves at the end of the wod when they thought their tank was empty; those are really great moments.”


Mike is passionate about community; about creating a fun, welcoming, and comfortable environment for people to come in and challenge themselves. He thinks there’s comfort in knowing that even if you’re suffering through a workout, you are not suffering alone. Everyone’s doing the same work (for the most part) and we’re all here to support and build each other up.


Personally, Mike has a beautiful wife and three really fantastic kids. He doesn’t come to the gym because he wants to be ripped and shredded, he comes to the gym because he wants to create longevity in his life and continue to move and function well even into old age. On top of that, the community at CFP is like no other and you’ll find yourself coming back for more just to see your friends!
