Andy Chen - Head Coach & Owner

Andy holds a BSc in Environmental Science from Simon Fraser University and is a Certified CrossFit Level 3 Trainer.

Andy’s fitness journey began in university as a powerlifter, but his passion for CrossFit was ignited 10 years ago in Kingston, Ontario. Searching for a facility to train in, he discovered CrossFit and was instantly hooked by the variety of skills it develops, the inclusive and supportive community, and the opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds.

After moving back to BC, Andy earned his CrossFit Level 1 Trainer certification and began his coaching career. Over the years, he has worked with people from all walks of life learning lots on. For Andy, the most rewarding part of owning Sea Level Athletics is showing those without any athletic background that with a little consistency and proper instruction, they can achieve their fitness goals and achieve more than they initially thought possible —without having to resort to extreme measures.

When not coaching or training, Andy is dedicated to fostering a welcoming and supportive environment at Sea Level Athletics, where everyone feels empowered to succeed.
