Neil Mahoney, Co-owner, was first introduced to CrossFit in 2004. At the time he was implementing CrossFit workouts as a Navy SEAL. CrossFit also helped him to train for numerous triathlons, marathons, a double marathon, an ironman, endurance races, and mountaineering summit trips.  In his quest for fitness, his travels have taken him to over thirty countries and even to the top of South America’s highest point, Aconcagua.

After nearly ten years in the Navy, Neil moved to Los Angeles and earned an undergraduate degree from USC. During the beginning stages of CrossFit Hollywood, Neil’s dedication to health and fitness was truly tested after a surgery that would ultimately limit his physical abilities. Although unable to perform at the high levels he was used to, Neil scaled CrossFit workouts to slowly regain his mobility and activity. He truly believes that CrossFit gives every person, regardless of their current level of fitness, a chance to work hard and achieve their fitness goals. 

Neil is currently using his training at CrossFit Hollywood as a foundation to climb the other 6 highest continental summits.
