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, Crossfit Weightlifting
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 joined him to workout in a dusty parking in the blazing Phnom Penh sun. His biggest love of CrossFit is the efficiency and the community. Now based out of Japan, he still loves to coach when he is in town and supports Amatak as a director. His day job is based out of Factory Phnom Penh, which he helped start in 2017 and is almost as proud of as Amatak.
