John Negron

John is the owner of Tribe Fitness and discovered CrossFit after returning to running following an 18-year journey to quit smoking. While he initially lacked strength, he quickly realized his cardiovascular fitness was stronger than expected. From his very first week, John was hooked—each day offered new challenges that were both humbling and motivating, reigniting the mindset of a former athlete.

As he progressed, John noticed not only physical changes but also mental growth, learning to approach obstacles in life with greater resilience. After a year, he became a certified CrossFit coach, eager to guide others on their own fitness journeys.

John’s passion lies in helping athletes defy what they once thought impossible—not just in a single workout, but in ways that carry over into life. While not an elite athlete, he has continually surpassed his own expectations and serves as a living example of the transformative power of hard work, consistency, and dedication.
