Crystal Briones

Manager

Hey-hey-hey! My name is Crystal and I am the new H2i Manager of Anytime Fitness Chatsworth. Being apart of this Anytime Fitness team has allowed me to work in an environment where I am surrounded by my two passions: Kinship and kinesiology. Like my colleagues, I too find great pleasure in making someone’s day better, even if for a moment. I thrive off of two things: 1. Shared laughs especially if catalyzed by dad jokes, awkward eye contact, and puns. 2. Dodgeball. Please feel free to ask me at anytime from any platform about dodgeball. There are not enough characters in this section for me to tell you how I really feel - just know that I love dodgeball. (BALL IS LIFE) As humans age, it’s natural that bones grow brittle, muscles lose elasticity, and spirits grow dull - our AF mission is to slowwww……….. this……….. down. Don't be afraid to come into the office and say hello, ANYTIME.

He believes cardio is the bane of his existence, but loves the occasional train run. Read more from Briand: The field of sports performance & health/fitness was a natural calling for me. I remember being introduced to my first barbell when I was 10 years old & was shortly introduced into sports thereafter. I played a variety of sports until college with football & the field sport of shot put being my favorite to play competitively. Injuries in high school and college led me to want know more about human movement & to better understand how to optimize sports performance while preventing injuries for other athletes. This passion led me to concentrate in Strength & Conditioning at Cal State Fullerton which fostered the use of science to optimize performance, but to also think past textbooks & theory to better understand athletes and clients.

George "Jojo" Katabyan

Trainer

orn and raised in The Valley of Greater Los Angeles I was in the crux of a living breathing organism of multi-cultural knowledge and wisdom. It was only a matter of time before I too would become a catalyst for education in a common language we all speak, health. Fitness was something natural for me and teaching was destiny. Exercising is a unique form of self-realization, challenging both the mind and body. Precisely what I sought when I was a student of the game with my then coach and now mentor Charles. Fitness goes beyond any physical goal you have, it teaches discipline, accountability, teamwork, goal setting, and selflessness. To have the ability to pay this ever-growing knowledge of fitness forward is ever rewarding. I'm a proponent of Strength, Conditioning, Performance, Group and High-Intensity Interval Training. Creator of the HIIT To Get Fit™: Full Body Home Workout Plan Qualifications: NASM Certified Personal Trainer
