Tim FLANAGAN
Head Coach
Certified CrossFit L 2 Trainer, CF Endurance, ELEIKO Strength coach LVL1, CF. Columbus Weightlifting L1, Precision Nutrition L1
I’m from Boiston
Coach Tim was first exposed to CrossFit back in 2011 and quickly went after his Level 1. What started off as a fun part time job and hobby interest became a full time position and a ticket to world adventures. As of his arrival in Cambodia, he has previously coached in Boston, Nashville and Jacksonville in the United States before heading onward to Peru, and later to Chiang Mai Thailand where he spent 3 years as a head coach.
When not training you will find him playing video games, watching sports (and then commenting on Facebook), or just spending time with his wife Giuliana. Tim is also a fan of playing other sports and may be found at the basketball court or working on his grip strength while rock climbing over at Phnom Climb.

Big things in small packages
Our very own Ms. Sreymao won Fittest Female in Cambodia in the 2019 CrossFit Open. More importantly, she’s a kick but coach who inspires us all. Sreymao has been at Amatak longer than anyone except Corbett, starting first as a Barista at our Kettlebell Cafe, then moving on to assistant coaching while simultaneously showing everyone in class she could snatch with the best of them. She started her Crossfit journey in March 2017 and attained her CrossFit Level 1 in 2019.
Sreymao believes that training is supposed to make you stronger for life in general. Her Continuous improvements and surpassing her previous personal records give her a great sense of accomplishment and improves the way she sees herself.

Sokhat “Bonx” LONG
Coach
Certified CrossFit L 1 Trainer
Big heart, big smiles, bigger biceps.
A proud Cambodian, Bonx started Crossfit in 2015 and has been coaching with Amatak since 2018. Bonx loves the variety of movements in the WODs and is discovering natural gymnastic ability he didn’t even know he had. He loves how CrossFit is always changing creating new challenges. Snatches and cleans are his favorite movements to teach and he can finish 30 bar muscle-ups before you finish your coffee.

Jonald “Ron Ron” ANTIPORTA
Coach
Certified CrossFit L 1 Trainer
Originally from the Philippines, Jonald was the head cook at Kettlebell Cafe and would cheer everyone on during workouts and then joined in, only to be drawn more and more to coaching. Ron Ron started Crossfit in May 2018 but still feels like he started only yesterday. Now he spends his time between the two, when he’s not serving up healthy meals, he’s serving kettlebells and box jumps.
“Every-time I’m waiting for my class, I feel nervous, and quite often overthink things. But in my mind there is a voice – just believe in yourself, nothing is impossible– and then i know it is the time to rise and shine”.

Corbett Hix
Founder & Managing Director
Certified CrossFit L2 Trainer
Corbett founded CrossFit Amatak in 2014 after a surprising number of people, continued to join him for some reason to work out in a dusty parking lot in the blazing Phnom Penh sun. With a work life that is usually 60+ hours a week, his biggest love of CrossFit is the efficiency and the community. He splits his time supporting Amatak as a coach, manager and graphic designer. When he’s not hiding out at Amatak, he’s usually over Factory Phnom Penh where he is Director.
Corbett has B.A. in American Studies from the University of Texas and an M.A. in International Development from American University (Washington, DC).
“I’m not a role model.”
