CHARLIE LIMA
In April of 2003 I began training my first client, her name was Kathy Koppers and that is where the BoomFit story begins. At the time I was attending Texas A&M and working in a personal training studio. I graduated from A&M in 2005 and decided to work independently as a personal trainer at a local gym. During the 3 years I was at the gym I grew from being an independent personal trainer to having 7 trainers working alongside me and a lot more clients. In 2008 I moved into an 1800 square foot personal training studio on Longmire and Pondersoa in the Partytime Rentals building and continued to do the two things I love: 1) workout and 2) help people get in shape. In 2008 I stumbled upon a program called CrossFit which changed my entire outlook on fitness and gave me another service to offer the BCS community.
My role at BoomFit has changed over the years, those of you familiar with small business know that you wear several hats in trying to grow a business. You will still find me in the gym every day, either working out or training clients. I love what I do and most of all I truly love helping people discover that a workout can impact their lives and make them a better version of themselves.
I am humbled and very grateful for the people who choose to call BoomFit “their gym”. In the rapidly growing fitness industry you have several places to choose from for personal training. We focus on giving each client the best program and experience so that they can be successful. Our culture and values guide every decision we make at BoomFit and it is what makes our gym special.
BoomFit is truly a dream come true and when I started this company in 2005 I would have never guessed it would be what it is today and touched the number of lives that it has. I am so thankful for my wife, Alicia, who has stood by me and supported me since day one. If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to email me at charlie@myboomfit.com.
GUS WORDEN
Fitness has always been a part of my life. Even at a young age my parents would always encourage me to lead an active life as opposed to a sedentary one by enrolling me in just about every sport throughout my childhood. This concept of constantly bettering my health and wellness began to grow into a passion as I continue to strive to find new ways to improve myself through exercise and proper nutrition. Now, as a personal trainer at Boomfit I am able to share that passion with others. I thank God every day that I have this awesome opportunity to meet new individuals and to make a difference in the lives of others. I love what I do and couldn’t ask for a better job. Start a change in your life!
KEN JACKSON
I grew up in small-town North Tx, and quickly moved to Aggieland to pursue my Wildlife Science degree from TAMU. Even better than that, I met my wife Michelle in the process. We’ve been married for 20 years and have two daughters, McKenna and Hannah. I have a full time pest control job (Venus Pest) and obtained my Level-1 crossfit coaching certificate in 2012. Other than Crossfit, my two favorite things to do are play golf and go to the Texas coast to wade fish in the bays.
SCOT OBERGEFELL
Born and raised in Upstate, NY, Scot first discovered CrossFit in 2012 at Albany CrossFit. The Lord brought him to College Station CrossFit in 2014 and the rest is history. Since then he has looked for every way to grow and give back to the CrossFit community including being a judge at the Northeast Regionals, Wodapalooza Fitness Festival. Scot’s passion and commitment to the amazing community at CSCF continues to get him up early to lead the 5 and 6 AM classes each day. Scot is a Level 1 Certified Crossfit Trainer, and is often seen at the gym completing 60-plus minute chippers.
JOSHUA GODINEZ
I started CrossFit in 2011. Almost immediately, I developed a passion for the movements and the methodology. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of coaching at five different CrossFit affiliates. I am currently certified as a Level 2 CrossFit Trainer. You can usually find me at all hours in the gym, whether it be working out or coaching a class. I love seeing people set and achieve goals, seeing people find community through fitness, and seeing how CrossFit can extend to better people’s lives in and outside of the gym.
KYLE BOECK
I started my fitness journey in high school football. I realized it was a passion when I began enjoying the strength and conditioning more than the actual sport! I transitioned to body building through college, and found CrossFit shortly after graduating. I enjoyed the freshness it brought to my training and have been doing it since! I had always wanted make health & fitness my career and finally made the leap in January 2016. I realized there was no better way to spend my life than helping people become better versions of themselves! I have a mission and am committed to seeing others thrive!
BRITTANY WORDEN
Helping others lead healthy lifestyles is something that I’m very passionate about. I believe that exercise can bring out a version of yourself that you never thought was possible. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from A&M in Kinesiology and am currently in graduate school pursuing a Masters in Exercise Physiology. I strive to be a positive influence in my clients and push them to better themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I know what it takes to make the change to live a healthy, fit life and I thank God for giving me the opportunity at Boomfit to use my passion to impact others lives. I am invested in doing whatever it takes to help my clients reach their goals and I’m so thankful that I can do that here at Boomfit. You could not ask for a more encouraging environment to come and better yourself in. I would love to be a part of your fitness journey and I encourage you to take the first step and make a change!

SHELBY DICKSON
Exercise and sport has been a part of my life since I can remember. I played college volleyball at UT Arlington and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science. Through fitness and athletics, I’ve learned lessons that go way beyond just the physical aspect: discipline, courage, emotional strength, spiritual strength. However, what I have come to find is that what I love most about training is the relationships I have the opportunity to build as well as the reward of seeing people grow. It’s an open door to loving and serving others. To me, that’s what life is all about. Here at BoomFit everyone is a family. I would absolutely love to be a part of your fitness journey. Together we can accomplish the healthy, fit lifestyle you are searching for!
LAYNE MURR
My passion for health and fitness came alive in college when I started teaching group fitness classes. I loved the changes I was seeing in my own health and it was then that I realized my greater passion for forming relationships and being able to encourage others on their health journey.
I am a Certified Personal trainer, Certified health coach, and my biggest role…a mom and wife. Cooper is 7 and Chloe is 9. My family is my inspiration to be the best I can be and they are my biggest supporters. I have found that when I’m taking care of my body with healthy exercise and nutrition I am able to serve them and others well.
I know the major joys and the trials of motherhood. It can be easy to give up or lose yourself in trying to be everything for everyone. Sometimes all you need is someone dedicated to help you find your way back to who you want to be.
It is amazing how making a daily commitment to bettering yourself physically can translate into better emotional and spiritual health. I am so ready to be your encourager!
