Ric Thompson

Founder

A 1989 graduate of the US Naval Academy, Ric retired from the US Marines after 30 years of serving in both Active and Reserve forces. Ric was exposed to CrossFit by some friends in the Marine Corps and has never looked back. He and his wife Jen started CrossFit PTC with their 5 kids in March of 2009 initially training in their garage. “My views of what makes up fitness, health and longevity have changed multiple times since we started CrossFit PTC. My goal is that our clients establish a fitness habit that is fun, functional, and forever that they can share with their family and friends. Fitness throughout the stages of your life is the ultimate flex.
