Nikki started CrossFit in 2017 as a "fairly un-athletic 40 year old who wanted to lose weight." It quickly transformed her life, she has competed in 5 CrossFit Opens as well as 4 local competitions. When she's not coaching classes she can be found working as a surgical tech in the ortho department. She also loves camping on the weekends with her husband, Ron and their dogs and she's also the queen of meal prep.
isaac havens
Isaac graduated from Troy High School in 2015 where he played football and baseball. After that he attended Mansfield University where he played sprint football. Isaac then worked in the pipeline industry for a few years before meeting his wife, Vanessa, and settling down in Granville together. Isaac started CrossFit in 2019 and has since developed a passion for olympic and power lifting as it applies to sports performance. When not coaching classes, Isaac works as a contractor and during hunting season you'll likely find him in the woods.
Vanessa Havens
Vanessa, also a Troy graduate (2013) started CrossFit in 2018. With a bachelors in Exercise Science and doctorate in Chiropractic, health and fitness have always been high priority. Vanessa played soccer, basketball and ran track in high school and intramural throughout college and grad school.
