“I got firsthand experience in how broken the system is, in terms of support in mental health, in young men and men. And owning an affiliate has shown me how impactful you can be on a community. Those two things together resulted in the group being formed where we welcome in, once a month, only men for what I say an honest, open, vulnerable conversation.”
Alex Evans’ journey through mental health challenges, personal growth, and the transformative power of CrossFit shines in this story. With the support of his mother, Linda, he has navigated feelings of isolation and found purpose as the owner of CrossFit Pen Y Bont. By fostering openness and connection — including leading a men’s group for honest conversations — Alex inspires his community with his authenticity and resilience.
