Brandon Donald
(Co-owner/Head trainer)
Brandon Donald is co-owner and head trainer at CrossFit Resolve. He has operated his own business as a personal trainer since 2000, has been training CrossFit since 2008 and has been a CrossFit Trainer since 2009.
CrossFit has changed Brandon's life.
In 2008, Brandon was looking for a new direction for his own training and that of his personal training clients and happened to stumble across CrossFit.
While the concepts are amazing in their simplicity, it is their ability to transform both body and mind and challenge people in ways they never thought possible which he is most looking forward to passing on to the next generation of CrossFit athletes.

Davin McPherson
(Co-owner/Trainer)
With a young family and a busy legal practice, co-owner and trainer Davin McPherson understands what it means to have limited time to commit to training and to want to make the most of the time available.
Davin stumbled across CrossFit in September 2008 at a time when he recognised his previous training program had become stale and was not preparing him for the basic physical demands of life.
Davin is passionate about the benefits of CrossFit (both physical and psychological) and, as a trainer, is particularly focused on safe and efficient movement and individual’s performing at relative intensity.
