Stephen Nwaukwa

Stephen is originally from Nigeria and has been a resident of Bartlesville since 2005. Prior to joining CrossFit Bartlesville in 2017, he was an avid weightlifter, typically spending 3-4 days per week in regular gyms doing standard barbell and dumbbell workouts. After some years of this workout regimen, he plateaued and started looking for something new to challenge himself & get him past the hump. That is when he discovered CrossFit. The thing that he finds most appealing about CrossFit is the constantly varied nature of the workouts & how they are designed to challenge and help you overcome your perceived limitations. The intended stimulus of each workout, and variations from workout to workout has made him a much better, healthier, and well-rounded athlete overall. In addition, CrossFit Bartlesville has a closely knit community of athletes who encourage and motivate him to be a better athlete and make healthier lifestyle choices. As a coach at CrossFit Bartlesville, his desire is to help people become the most fit versions of themselves, doing things they never imagined they could ever do.
