John Frank Simmons aka Juan Del Fuego (Owner / Head Coach) 
Favourite ‘Girls’ WoD: None of them. They can all die in a fire.
CrossFit nemesis: Thrusters! It’s like getting punched in the gut every time I do one.
Why I love CrossFit: I have seen CrossFit transform so many lives. I’ve seen relationships grow stronger than ever through CrossFit. What we do goes way beyond sweating. The CrossFit community is unlike any other I’ve ever seen.
How long have you done CrossFit?: Started in 2010.
Previous /other sporting interests: High school football, basketball and track. I played rugby for 5 years after, but I feel my true calling was competitive pole dancing. However, that’s a young mans game. I’m just past my prime.
Fitness philosophy: If you ain’t squattin’ you ain’t livin’.
Favorite food: Powdered sugar donuts.
Random fun fact: I have no natural resistance to the sun. I, in fact, am a ginger. This also means I sleep hanging upside down.

Marisa Stahl (Owner / Coach)
Favorite ‘Girls’ WOD: Cindy. It’s all about pacing yourself and not getting too overzealous. This WOD is 20:00, it takes a toll on you mentally.
CrossFit nemesis: Running of any kind
Fitness goal: Stay fit until I’m 100, then give up!
Why I love CrossFit: Once I think I’ve mastered one goal, another goal pops it’s little head up.
How long have you done CrossFit: Since 2011
Previous/other sporting interests: Volleyball, basketball, triathlons
Fitness philosophy: If you can whine, you have one more rep to go
Favorite quote: “Just Keep Swimming”- Dory from Nemo
Favorite food: Tex-Mex
Random fun fact: I can say all of the Presidents of the USA in order

Johnny Steel (Owner)
Favourite ‘Girls’ WoD: I hate all of them equally
CrossFit nemesis : PISTOLS… they are terrible – we were given 2 legs for a reason.
Fitness goal: I have a lot of benchmark goals for workouts, but my primary goal has always been continue to improve the way I feel and the quality of my life. With two young kids I need to be able to stay healthy and in shape as they continue to grow older.
Why I love CrossFit: I truly believe it’s for EVERYBODY. It is as beneficial for my 65 year old mom as it is for my 10 year old son. Anybody can do some form of CrossFit work out because the movements in CrossFit intertwine with the motions of our everyday life. I have had knee surgery/ a broken elbow/ broken wrist/ cracked collar bone and a jacked-up shoulder all prior to ever doing CrossFit and I have never felt better. After Military school I struggled to find a workout routine that fit my life so I quit all together for 2 years before my wife dragged me into a box with a bunch of crazy kool-aid drinking CrossFitters. Despite my reluctance I was converted.
How long have you done CrossFit?: First WOD – Aug 31, 2011
Previous /other sporting interests: Dodgeball ! ( I did also play High School Football and College Intramural B-ball )
Fitness philosophy: I work out hard so I can live better and play harder guilt free.
Favorite quote: From the movie Tombstone: Johnny Ringo: “You retired too?” Doc Holliday: “Not me. I’m in my prime.”
Favorite food(s): 1) Ribeye 2) Porterhouse 3) Bone in Filet – just sayin’
Random fun fact: I used to be in The Math Club

Mairi “Maz” Morgan (Owner)
(Btw Mairi is the Scottish version of “Mary” and is pronounced like ”marry” not “Mary”, not “Marie” and not “My-ray”). Probably best to stick to Maz!!
Favourite ‘Girls’ WoD: Helen, Diane or Karen
Crossfit nemesis: Wall climbs. Dislike!
Fitness goal: Handstand walk. I’d also love to get back into triathlon at some point…maybe a half Iron Man (70.3 miles) is in my distant future.
Why I love CrossFit: I really do believe it gives you the biggest fitness bang for your buck, providing the opportunity to get both stronger and faster at the same time. I love the paradox that it can be both highly competitive but also that no one else matters except yourself. I never get bored or stuck in a routine. The sense of community and camaraderie is fantastic – I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have been allowed to bring my little girl down to a ‘regular’ gym and leave her quietly (ok, sometimes loudly) in her car seat or pack n play while I worked out.
How long have you done CrossFit?: Since early 2012
Previous /other sporting interests: I’ve tried my hand at many things, with very different levels of success(!), but the ones that stuck the most are triathlon, road cycling, skiing and ballet.
Fitness philosophy: Nike said it best…..Just Do It
Favorite quote: “This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure.” – Winston Churchill
Favorite food: Thai food any day of the week. Maybe some queso on the side….plus any form of sea salt caramel chocolate to finish.
Random fun fact: I once got hugged and air-kissed by Helena Christensen, one of the original supermodels.

Gary “Gaz” Morgan (Owner)
Favourite ‘Girls’ WoD: I’m partial to Diane, Helen and Nancy
Crossfit nemesis: Definitely pistols. They’re so nasty
Fitness goal: Flirt with a 5 minute mile (run) and handstand walk 25m.
Why I love Crossfit: I find Crossfit to be highly effective in improving my fitness and it’s also broadly measurable which allows me to analyze my performance. I love the fact that my aerobic fitness levels increase without specific training and my joints and muscles feel better than ever! Crossfit is inclusive and anyone can get involved, irrespective of age or physical characteristics.
How long have you done Crossfit?: since Q1 2012. My wife eventually persuaded me to come down to the box. I can’t remember what my first WOD was but I do remember clearly lying on the floor wondering how I’d just had my arse handed to me. From that point I was hooked – to get stronger, faster and more powerful.
Previous /other sporting interests: Thai boxing
Fitness philosophy: Train hard. Live long.
Favorite quote: “It’s like a finger pointing away to the moon, don’t concentrate on the finger or you’ll miss all the heavenly glory” – Bruce Lee, Enter the Dragon
Favorite food: Large steak and a bottle of red. I do like a nice 32oz steak.
Random fun fact: I support Newcastle United Football Club (that’s soccer to Americans), one of the greatest clubs on this planet

CrossFit nemesis: I despise Ring Dips and Thrusters equally
Why I love CrossFit: It transformed my life and challenges me every day! There’s always a new goal to set my eyes on and work towards improving. I love the community, it’s one of a kind…I can run alone for days but put me in a gym by myself and I have no idea what to do and will reach boredom in 5 seconds.
How long have you done CrossFit?: Since July of 2013
Previous /other sporting interests: Swimming, Cycling, Triathlons, and Running DUH (anything but “sprints”)
Fitness philosophy: “Look in the mirror…that’s your competition”. There will always be somebody bigger, leaner, stronger, faster, etc., so don’t compare yourself to others, it will never make you happy. Focus on your own journey and be the best version of you possible!
Favorite food: Cheesecake, Ice Cream, Cookies…Oh my!
Random fun fact: I have a HUGE sweet tooth but don’t ever ask me to actually bake something edible.
Carissa Stith – Powerlifting Coach
Favorite Lift: Bench…because God blessed me with short arms, a good arch and no boobs.
