About us
Coaching built on what competing taught him.
Brick By Brick Athlete was founded by Etienne Nzayirata, a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and a 4× National Champion of Rwanda
After years of competing and coaching, Etienne learned that lasting progress isn’t built by doing more. It’s built by following structured training, mastering movement mechanics, and staying consistent at the right intensity. That philosophy is the foundation of Brick By Brick Athlete: helping athletes train smarter, move better, and perform at their best.
