Joey Dill

Certifications:
Level 1 Trainer – 2010
Olympic Lifting
Movement and Mobility

About Joey:  After his senior soccer season, Joey hung up his spikes and found himself in the weight room looking for a new challenge.  It took no time at all for Joey to find himself unsatisfied with his daily workout routine.  

One day he was approached by the man who would soon become his CrossFit mentor, Dolph Geurds.  Dolph took Joey under his wing and started introducing him to the CrossFit methodology.  Joey happily traded in the back and bi workouts for burpees and snatches. 

What started simply as a plan to get more fit, quickly turned into an obsession that allowed him to feel and look great with the confidence that he could now conquer anything.  The dedication and commitment to personal improvement in CrossFit has carried into all other aspects of his life.

When asked what kept him coming back for more, Joey cites the community and relationships that develop during and after the workouts. At 5 ft. 5 & 140 pounds, the 20 year old Joey Dill has already earned multiple Crossfit certifications, as well as, his real estate license.  Joey attends Rider University where he studies Global Supply Chain Management. Joey has a passion for seeing people overcome the personal barriers that hold them back from achieving all they can be, and recommends CrossFit to people of all ages as a vehicle to achieve sustainable success.

 

 

Stephanie Neubauer

Stefanie believes there is no better feeling than being strong and fit, and that Crossfit is the most effective way to get there. When she first tried Crossfit she immediately knew that the training would not only satisfy her desire to compete but it would also challenge her to strengthen her weaknesses. The supportive and enthusiastic Crossfit community also motivated her to come back for more.  In years prior to Crossfit,  Stefanie was an avid runner and had completed several half marathons.  She had also been an Ultimate Frisbee player since college and competed at the Club Nationals level.  Stefanie is a trained school psychologist and has coached youth soccer. She enjoys motivating people to work harder than they thought they could.  Personally she strives to lift more, move faster and to be a healthy and strong role model for her two young sons and other moms.

She has even been successful at getting gym equipment donated to a shelter for kids where she worked as a counselor. “I wanted the kids to believe in themselves. There is no better place to build confidence, discipline and strength than in the gym. Before long, they were different kids. Sadness and hopelessness turned into happiness, confidence and belief.”

CrossFit was introduced to Tonya from her Hairdresser in 2010.

“I was so happy to find workouts that didn’t involve mirrors or flexing.” Tonya says. “I admire bodybuilders, but wanted something more. CrossFit gives me the strength training I desire in combination with gymnastics and metabolic conditioning.”

Tonya became CrossFit Level 1 certified in May of 2011 and has a passion for motivating others in the gym. “I feel as if the CrossFit Coaches give me a gift every time they train me beyond my limits. I too want to give that gift to others.”
