Chris Tafaro: 

Coach/Owner 

After 13 years behind a trading desk I decided to follow my passion for strength and conditioning training. After work, I started coaching at CrossFit Hoboken and two years in I knew this was what I wanted to do for a career change so I decided to take the leap and open my own gym. CrossFit Bison in Midland park NJ was the outcome of that.10 years later Bison continues to thrive and is a staple affiliate in the CrossFit community. During the last 10 years thousands of athletes have come through Bisons doors and the experience of coaching most of them from the beginning stages has been an incredible learning experience and has improved my ability to coach exponentially. I opened THE PLACE to be able to coach on a more personal level and be closer to home. I am excited to bring my experience in Power lifting, Olympic lifting, Strongman, CrossFit and body building to Hoboken
