Markus Riggleman, Owner
Head Trainer / Coach

Markus was co-owner of Phoenix Fitness and Studio 16, a flexibility and stretching center before deciding to go on his own and start a strength and conditioning business. In 2004 he founded Maximum Human Development. Over time his passion for cutting edge training led him to “crossfit”. Understanding the value of this style of training he decided to open his own Crossfit affiliate combining his previous training methods with Crossfit training. In July of 2008, Markus opened CrossFit Lehigh Valley. CFLV is a unique strength, conditioning, fitness and flexibility training center in Bethlehem, Pa. His clients range from professional and amateur athletes to executives and fitness buffs just looking to get in better shape. Currently he is the strength, conditioning and flexibility coach for several Lehigh University teams, local club teams and high school athletes. Markus has been a competitive athlete himself most of his life. More recently he has had a successful power-lifting career, winning a National Championship. He continues to pursue new and innovative knowledge in the field of strength; conditioning, flexibility and fitness in order to help people of all ages develop their true potential!
