About Zaien Zafra

Zaien Zafra (Super Z) is a prominent Filipino CrossFit athlete and coach whose rise in GRID has been defined by power, explosiveness, and an immediate impact on competition. A CrossFit Level 1 coach based in New Jersey, Zaien brings both international experience and elite athleticism to the Sharks.

Before relocating to the United States, Sayan was affiliated with CrossFit Subtera in the Philippines, where he played a key role in building and supporting his local training community. Over the past two years, he has continued that journey stateside, quickly earning respect as both a coach and a competitor.

Super Z made his Sharks debut during his rookie season and wasted no time establishing himself as a difference-maker. By mid-season, he was already the fastest athletes in the league’s Ladder races, consistently posting top-tier times and showcasing rare explosiveness and speed. His ability to attack high-pressure moments with confidence and energy made him a constant presence in key lineups.

Known as a gamer, a amazing teammate, and a high-output athlete, Super Z combines serious strength with a competitive edge and a love for the sport. His approach to training is disciplined and intentional, every task is treated as an opportunity to execute at the highest level.

Entering his second season, Zaien continues to elevate his preparation and performance. He is the type of athlete teams build around: reliable, explosive, coachable, and fully invested in collective success.
