Coach Midge (Sarah) Started CrossFit in 2008 when a friend of herse helped her get off the couch and out of a deep depression. She has had a long history of eating disorders and liked that CrossFit gave her a number to focus on besides the one on the weight scale.

Coach Christin grew up in a health conscious home with a mom who spent much time in the fitness industry. She started to learn dance at the age of 3, was captain on the dance team through high school, was on the swim team from 8 years old through her early teen years, and played water polo and beach volleyball in her teens. She has a love for water and enjoys surfing so much that she became a youth surf instructor in Huntington Beach from 2000-2005. She moved to Ventura with her husband in 2006, and became the director for a local youth surf camp. Her love for fitness and health carried over into her higher education. She studied Dance choreography with a minor in Nutrition at Mt. San Antonio College and was a personal trainer from 2002-2004 with a NCEP certification.

Christin spent a year doing CrossFit in 2014 and liked the challenge of the MetCon style of conditioning workouts. Unfortunately, life threw her a curve ball at the end of 2016 when she was hospitalized and diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. She was in the hospital for a week due to having part of her intestines surgically removed. She spent the next year recovering at home from this near death disease. Once she was well enough, she was determined to stay active and find ways to care for her health and her body. She turned back to CrossFit to help her with her new life journey

Her passion for fitness was almost immediately reignited and in January 2021 she earned her CrossFit Level 1 certificate. Christin loves coaching and seeing the progress that people make. She loves helping people achieve their goals and watching and celebrating victories with them. She knows how important and impactful CrossFit has been for her and she wants everyone to understand how much it can help them.

Outside of CrossFit, she spends her free time with her husband and 2 children: traveling, wakeboarding, snowboarding and being active.

Coach Toli has always been passionate about sports. In high school he had the chance to play basketball, baseball and football and has been blessed with the opportunity to be coached by some of the greatest coaches around. After graduating high school Toli still managed to remain active through global gyms and recreational sports and never felt satisfied through these activities, and the environment just simply sucked. No matter how hard he tried he would get injured or hit a plateau really fast and never move past it. After always being tired never able to be anywhere close the best shape of my life... until he tried Crossfit in 2009.

Just like everyone else he was immediately hooked to it and started seeing results quickly. It has been one of the best decisions he says he has made in his life. He loves the friendly supportive environment and the attitude of the people in the Crossfit box. "It is a community of some of the best people and it feels like a second family"

Through the Level 1 Crossfit Certification seminar at NorCal Crossfit 2012 he had the chance to be trained by some of the best like Adrian Bozman, Jason Khalipa and Michael Giardineri and Neil Maddox. Through them he was able to not only improve his skills in Crossfit but also improve his coaching abilities so that he can pass their wisdom onto others effectivly. Toli is a Crossfit Level 2 Trainer and holds a Crossfit WeightLifting Trainer Certificate.

"My number 1 focus is to teach you the technique and fundamentals of Crossfit. It is my belief that once an individual masters the basics of Crossfit in gymnastics, weightlifting and running through consistent training he or she will transform their own body in ways they never thought possible." Toli focuses on health because he believes that good health relieves stress and worry. He urges others just try it. Through controlled functional movements performed at high intensity and simple healthy diet, it is his goal to help you find the best shape of your life.
