Hey! I'm Mitch, I'm a former college athlete and baseball coach. I found CrossFit in 2016 and fell in love with it instantly! I was so burnt out from home workouts and the globo gym scene. CrossFit woke me back up and reminded me what it was like to be an athlete! I love the community aspect of CrossFit and how the gym feels like one giant team.  We are all here to push each other, share in the pain of an awesome workout, and celebrate those gains :) When I'm not at the gym I'm either working as school counselor or hanging out with my wife Kelley and our three kids (all under the age of five!).

Hi, I’m Janeen Schafer, I started CrossFit the beginning of 2014, but I have always had a passion for sports, lifting weights, and working out. I have played sports since a young age, but in high school I took our school weightlifting class and fell in love with the barbell. I have always worked in the fitness industry starting with a large chain gym for 12 years. Once I tried my first CrossFit class I was hooked, and it was love at first class. I received my level 1 certification and never looked back. I love helping members better their lives regardless of their goals, whether it be to simply improve their quality of life or to become a competitive athlete.

Hi guys! I'm Coach Kelly. My husband, 2 kids and I live in Ridgefield on our "mini farm". Outside the gym, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and watching my kids do their sports. I discovered Crossfit in 2017 and became hooked early on. I did tennis and gymnastics in my youth. I love helping athletes achieve their goals and watch their confidence rise as they do things they never thought possible. I look forward to seeing new and old faces everyday. We have a strong community at our gym and I'm honored to be apart of that.

Hey! I’m Sara and I started my crossfit journey in 2015 but after a year of CF life threw some unexpected challenges my way and I took a couple years off. In 2018 I found ERCF and I’ve been hooked ever since. Growing up I tried and played all the different sports but stuck with playing competitive soccer year around and also did track in high school. Before and during my time doing crossfit I have trained for half marathons, marathons and half iron mans. At heart I’ll always be an endurance athlete but crossfit is becoming a passion. I am always up for a challenge; I enjoy pushing my mind and body to see what it’s capable of. Coaching crossfit has been a great opportunity for me to expand my knowledge while also teaching and encouraging others to reach their goals. Outside of the gym I enjoy running, spending time with my family, cheering on my kids from the sidelines, being outdoors and exploring all the places.

My name is Haley Voss.  I began my fitness coaching journey in 2003 when I became a Turbo Kick Certified instructor at my local fitness gym.  Soon after, I acquired a Baby Boot Camp franchise and began focusing my fitness coaching on moms with young children.  During the 5+ years I led boot camps, I completed regular continuing education for boot camp and mom-focused fitness.  During this time, I got my Fit Tour Fitness Instructor Certification; I studied strategies which supported motherhood such as “The Tupler Technique,” and completed a certification on how to check for, and coach repair of diastasis recti (a condition experienced when the rectus abdominis muscles in the abdomen separate during pregnancy, or through improper exercise and activity, leaving a gap that allows the belly to pooch out).

I joined CrossFit in January of 2010 and quickly fell in love.  After learning everything I could about the CrossFit culture and testing for my CrossFit L1 Coaching Certification, I began coaching CrossFit classes on a regular basis . . . and the rest – as my husband says – is extremely fit history.  In addition to a super fit and healthy lifestyle – CrossFit helped me personally achieve three natural home child births, by keeping me fit and energized all the way through my pregnancy.  In fact, in each of the three pregnancies I carried during my time with CrossFit, I was able to maintain a regular workout regimen with CrossFit daily workouts right up until the week I gave birth!  After coaching CrossFit for several years part-time, I went on to earn my CrossFit L2 Coaching Certification, and in 2021 I went full-time as a CrossFit Coach and I am absolutely loving every minute of it.

What do I love most about CrossFit?  Ha – everything!  But if I had to sum it up in just a few words, it would be the group camaraderie, the health benefits, the fun, and personal growth!  I am passionate about coaching, and helping bring out the best in people who attend our CrossFit classes.  I love the fact that CrossFit workouts can be tailored for nearly everyone, no matter what stage in life they’re at.  Not only have I witnessed the value of CrossFit first-hand in coaching people of all ages (from age 8 to 80) and from all walks of life, but CrossFit has become personal, central part of the healthy, active life I enjoy with my family of seven.  I am so proud to coach CrossFit, to be able to involve my growing children in CrossFit Kids classes, and to be a part of such awesome fitness clubs where I am able to help other members grow and experience the best that a fit and healthy life has to offer.
