ATA is an education-focused organization built by our adaptive training community leaders. ATA’s seminar staff are all adaptive athletes and are actively training adaptive athletes around the wold. They are on the ground everyday listening to the needs of the adaptive community and directing ATA’s focus to address those requests.

ATA SEMINAR STAFF
Alec Zirkenbach, CCFT
Director & Seminar Staff
Alec is disabled USN veteran who has founded and operated two successful gyms (Kuwait and San Diego) before creating and managing the Adaptive Training education program for CrossFit.

Kevin Ogar, CCFT

In 2014 Kevin suffered a spinal cord injury leaving him paralyzed at the T12 level. His injury only propelled his drive to participate in adaptive sports and has since competed in Adaptive CrossFit and most notably by representing Team USA in Paralympic Powerlifting. He now runs a rehabilitation program through his gym, CrossFit Watchtower, with Craig Hospital and also serves on the board of directors for the non-profit Reveille Project.
Logan Aldridge, CF-L2
Seminar Staff
Logan sustained a traumatic boating accident during competitive wakeboard training at the age of 13, and as a result, his left arm was amputated above the elbow. He quickly adopted a motto and mindset that, “it’s just an arm.” Logan has since competed in sports from the collegiate level all the way to representing Team USA in multiple Paralympic events. Logan is a workout programmer and coach for WheelWOD and is the reigning World’s Fittest Upper-Extremity Adaptive Athlete.
Chris Stoutenburg, CF-L2
