Born and raised in the Pittsburgh area, Tyler is a native of Ambridge, PA. His time as an athlete in high school, and later in his collegiate career at Duquesne has given him a unique skillset that he brings to his daily coaching. He had 20+ years of competitive athletic experience prior to finding CrossFit in 2015. Tyler has been a Head Coach for the last three years, working with and writing programs for thousands of athletes. He is CF-L1 certified, and has completed the Power Athlete Methodology Level One course. Tyler's passion for working with athletes of all levels allows him to flow seamlessly from coaching Cross Fit classes, to pushing high school and colligate athletes in their pursuit to reach their full potential on and off the field!
This passion for helping others achieve their health and fitness goals led Tyler to open Freak'n Fit in October of 2020, with the help of his business partners, Jim and Annie Lefcakis, along with Jim and Kelly McKenzie.

Coach Craig Hoolahan started CrossFit in 2014 and hasn’t looked back. Craig started CrossFit to prove to his 2 children how strong he could be and ultimately wanted the same for them. Craig obtained his Level 1 CrossFit Certification in 2017 where his love for Crossfit grew even bigger. Craig owned and operated his own CrossFit gym for 5 years (2017-2023). In 2022, Craig expanded his knowledge of the sport by obtaining his Level 2 CrossFit Certification and Burgener Strength Weightlifting Level 1 Certificate. He truly enjoys helping people better themselves every day, not only through fitness, but all aspects of life. “I would much rather have a room full of laughter and sweat, than anger and tears”. Craig loves to do ‘Hero’ style workouts more than anything because of the mental grit and determination they take to complete. “I’m so happy to have found a home at Freak n Fit and look forward to an awesome future here.”
