At the age of 12, Tucker got his first gym membership. He played college football and worked the front desk at Ray Wilson Family Fitness and GNC, before landing his first job as an assistant high school football coach.
After becoming a personal trainer in the early 2000s, he began training collegiate teams at the University of Incarnate Word before making the decision to open his own gym.
Tucker opened his first Elite CrossFit + Personal Training location in San Antonio at 18347 Redland Road in 2008 before opening a second location in Selma at 16719 Pawlin Drive in 2010.
“I had an itch to expand,” Tucker said.
What they offer
Elite CrossFit + Personal Training offers multiple one-hour group CrossFit classes throughout the day. CrossFit uses functional movements at high-intensity intervals, Tucker said.
The gym’s group classes are priced at $200 a month. Personal training sessions range from $75-$100 an hour. Elite CrossFit + Personal Training also has a $25 drop-in fee.
“There’s a starting point for anybody who wants to try this,” he said.
Aside from fitness classes, Elite CrossFit + Personal Training offers three types of sports massage modalities: cupping, scraping and dry needling.
What’s special about it?
The quality and education of Elite CrossFit coaches is what separates them from the other CrossFit affiliates, Tucker said.
