“…the most dangerous thing you can do is not work out…” – Jethro Cardona 

We interview Jethro Cardona, owner of the CrossFit Chief Nation gym in Massapequa, NY.

In addition to being a business owner, Jethro also serves the community as a Nassau County Police officer working with youth communities via the Police Activity League unit. Originally from Queens and Brooklyn, he shares how his Puerto Rican mother wanted him to have the best educational opportunities and eventually moved them to Long Island. It’s there where he eventually became a police officer, got married and started a family.

We discuss how the pandemic helped him realize the need in our community for better physical fitness opportunities. This led Jethro to becoming a fitness coach and eventually to his official venture into the competitive world of the Fitness industry with the launch of CrossFit Chief Nation. 

A truly inspirational conversation on so many levels. Jethro teaches us that if you have a dream that nothing can stand in your way of making it a reality.

We hope you enjoy!
