Eric Swenddal
Owner, CF-L1, CF-Olympic Lifting, Regional Qualifier
eric started CrossFit back in 2010 and was hooked after just one class. he was so passionate about it, he opened CrossFit Federal Way in 2011. In 2017 he sold that gym, but was still active and passionate about CrossFit and soon realized just how much he missed coaching athletes every day, writing workouts and having direct ownership in something that helped people to find fitness and health in their lives. After doing this for many years and meeting and coaching hundreds if not thousands of amazing clients, the one thing he consistently hears is the regret that people have that they didn’t start sooner. CrossFit changes lives in so many ways... Body, soul and mind. Come see eric and let him give you the gift of CrossFit.

Marci Magarrell
Owner, CF-L1
marci had a friend that started CrossFit and tried for about a year to talk her into trying it. Because of the intimidation factor she shied away. However, the day she came in for her first wod she was hooked...and now she’s a gym owner! CrossFit has changed her life. she always loved working out and participating in different activities from running to bootcamp to swimming, but never found something that was able to keep her coming back day after day. she loves that workouts change each day and you never quite know what you'll be getting yourself into. she also loves that the gym is a place to get fit and healthy, but also a place where you make and keep great friends. At Imperial as one of the owners, she’s now excited to share her love of CrossFit with others!
Shawn Robertson
CF-L1
When Shawn’s son was born twelve years ago, he was 60 pounds overweight with high blood pressure and had not worked out since high school sports. Initially he started running and restricted calories to drop the weight. Over time, the running went from a few 5Ks to several 20-mile trail runs a year. The weight dropped as he jumped from fad diet to fad diet but still didn’t have the strength he wanted. In 2013, he started CrossFit to supplement his running. he joined Imperial when he moved to Kent and now he runs to supplement his CrossFit workouts. he’s participated in multiple CrossFit competitions and looks forward to the open every year. CrossFit has brought back his competitive side, something he’s missed since high school sports. shawn earned his CF-L1 in December of 2017 and started coaching directly after. he enjoys coaching and is extremely passionate about nutrition.
SANG COOK
CF-L1
Sang started CrossFit back in 2010 when a buddy of his convinced him to try something different. At the time, he was running (more like a slow jog) half marathons with some friends to try to stay in shape. Training for half marathons became monotonous and time consuming. CrossFit’s variability made it fun and the one hour classes made it ideal. After taking a few years off and then moving to Kent, he joined Imperial to get back into shape. He realized how much he missed CrossFit, the encouraging community, and the challenging workouts.
