Bethany Chan
A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Beth first found fitness when her dad took her running every week on the par course in Redwood Shores. He taught her how to do push-ups and pull-ups. In first grade, her favorite playground activity was swinging on the monkey bars. She loved all sports growing up, especially volleyball.
Beth’s college friend Tim Chan, now husband (and current Reason comp director), introduced CrossFit to her in 2012. It was so reminiscent of her high school basketball conditioning and running the par course with her dad that she was hooked.
A decade after getting her first L1 CrossFit cert and 3 years of physical therapy doctorate later, Beth’s following in her dad’s footsteps by teaching other people how to do pull-ups and push-ups, and how to move correctly. She provides elegant solutions to vexing problems like pain and injury, and still swings on bars for fun.

Benjamin Lee
Ben's fitness journey began in college when he decided to transform his slender frame and delve into the world of health and wellness. The journey was initially daunting, stepping into the gym without a roadmap. Yet, with time, dedication, and now two years of expert guidance at Reason, Ben has not only transformed his physique but also his understanding of the profound impact a coach can have on an individual's health journey.
With a nursing degree and a CrossFit Level 1 certification under his belt, Ben has decided to pivot from the world of nursing to pursue his newfound passion in fitness. What drives him is not the pursuit of becoming the biggest or strongest guy in the gym, but rather, the philosophy of functional movement and general fitness. For Ben, fitness is about meeting people where they are in life and providing the guidance and support they need to achieve their goals.
When Ben isn’t in the gym, he’s fully immersed in family life. Playing with his kids and keeping up with their boundless energy not only brings him immense joy but also fuels his desire to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Ben draws inspiration from fellow gym-goers, like James, a 70-year-old who moves with the vigor of someone half his age. It’s these connections and success stories that reinforce Ben’s belief in the power of fitness.
What Ben brings to the table is more than just experience and knowledge; it’s a genuine passion for helping others succeed. Being on the front lines, face-to-face with those he coaches, and being part of their success stories is what fuels him. Ben understands the emotional roller coaster that comes with striving towards and achieving fitness goals. It’s these emotions – the highs of success and the joys of being part of someone else’s success story – that make the fitness journey thrilling and contagious. Ben is eager to share this excitement with others and be a guiding force in their journey to health and confidence.

Josh Lo
My journey as a physical therapist started out as an 8 year old club swimmer in Glendale, CA. By the age of 10, I was swimming 2 practices a day - up to 5 hours a day in the pool. It was then that I decided that I wanted to swim in a Division 1 NCAA program.
When I was 14, I partially tore one of his rotator cuff muscles in a race. I bounced around multiple different physical therapists who prescribed me the same rotator cuff strengthening program. 6 weeks later, I was still having pain in my shoulder and had not returned to the water yet.
In a last ditch effort, my parents and I reached out to a swimming-specific physical therapist in Santa Clara who had worked with the USA national and olympic teams. He helped me with my shoulder and I went on to swim for UC San Diego.
It was then that I realized that it took someone who understood me and my journey to help me solve my shoulder pain. That is what I want to do for you: help you solve problems to reach your goals.
