THE TEAM

founder

Brice Helms

I started my first gym job at the NAU Rec Center as a Weight Room Attendant back in 1997. Not too long after, I realized that I wanted to have a career in fitness. I got certified as a Personal Trainer in 2002, and became a full time trainer in 2003, and finally started my own business, Framework Fitness Training, in 2014.

I then became the new owner of CrossFit FIXX in April of 2017. I got my first taste of CrossFit back in 2005. I was working in a personal training studio, and one of the trainers came across the HQ website, crossfit.com. I found that I started incorporating a lot of what CrossFit was doing into my own programs for clients. I was seeing great results in both my clients’, and my own, fitness. My favorite thing about being a gym owner is watching people reach fitness levels that they didn’t think was ever possible. It makes it worthwhile knowing that I played a small part in helping someone live a happier and healthier life! My first bright spot at FIXX, when I became owner, was that the entire coaching staff stayed on. Even the previous owners stuck around to help coach, continue working on their fitness, and help ensure a smooth transition at FIXX. That’s when I knew that FIXX was a special place for a lot of people. My personal fitness mantra has always been “workout to feel good”. When your body feels good and healthy, so will your attitude and outlook on life. It helps make everything else better!

Nutrition Coach

Vanessa Helms

My fitness journey began in 2005 when I became a certified group fitness instructor. While I have always been interested in fitness and health, group exercise instruction was my "side gig." My full time career was focused in the helping professions.

I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling and whether in case management, counseling or crisis intervention, my focus was on working with individuals to identify their biggest concerns and to empower them to make positive changes in their lives. During the pandemic, when my stress, eating and drinking had gotten the best (or should I say worst) of me, I decided enough is enough! Through trial and error and lots of soul searching, I found ways to establish positive eating habits and revamp my relationship with food. Because of my personal experiences, I found a passion for positive nutritional health and became a certified nutrition coach. I now get to transfer the same ideas and techniques of behavior change with which I’ve worked for over 20 years in Social Services, to work with clients to make positive changes in their nutrition habits. Helping people find even better versions of themselves is one of my favorite things about nutrition coaching.

COACH

NATHALIE GUENTHER

My name is Nathalie (the h is silent) and my CrossFit journey began in February of 2019. After having tried several different training modalities, a close friend of mine invited me to try out CrossFit with her. After taking that class (and a 5-hour nap right after), I was hooked.

It was fun and the people were welcoming. A few months into training at this gym, the owners asked if I would be interested in coaching. At this point, I had been training/coaching various sports and classes for 7 years and athletics had always been a passion of mine. I realized early that I love helping people, and with time it became clearer that it is because I love watching people grow into better versions of themselves. I found that I can better help with this by coaching mindset in my athletes in addition to physical movement. With bachelor’s degrees in Kinesiology, Dietetics, and Psychology, I have learned a lot about the body and how it works, but the soul is the most important part of each of us. When I coach, I am not only coaching movement, but I am also coaching mental clarity as well as healing of the soul and body. As someone that has benefitted from this, it is an important part of health. If you can truly be happy with yourself, love yourself, and accept yourself, then you have won the Game of Life. Fun Fact: Coaching CrossFit was the best decision I have ever made because it led to meeting and marrying my wife.

COACH

RUTH ADAMSON

My CrossFit journey began in 2015. I was asked to teach yoga at a box in Houston and after attending my first class, I knew I'd found my thing. Coaching was a harder sell, but I love learning more about the movements and sharing that with the athletes. Helping others become more efficient (and working on that myself) is very rewarding.

COACH - SOCIAL MEDIA

JAZLYN GUENTHER

My CrossFit journey began in 2020 when I decided to walk into a box in Las Cruces, New Mexico. I've been doing graphic design since high school, so applying those skills for marketing and social media for the gym came naturally.

I enjoy being able to showcase athletes doing what they love. Fun Fact: I met my best friend thanks to CrossFit, and then I married her.
I then became the new owner of CrossFit FIXX in April of 2017. I got my first taste of CrossFit back in 2005. I was working in a personal training studio, and one of the trainers came across the HQ website, crossfit.com.

Coach

RHETT TAYLOR

I started CrossFit around the same time I became a firefighter. I quickly found that this exercise style is the most beneficial to what I do for a living. I love that every day is different, but we always work towards a goal.

Like a typical millennial, I love the gratification of accomplishment, like getting double-unders or a muscle-up for the first time. As a coach, I enjoy seeing someone’s healthy development, which proves that hard work and determination pay off. A fun fact about me is that I received an award for Ironman All-World Athlete in 2017.

Coach

Mario Cruz

My CrossFit journey started in my senior year of college, I was extremely overweight and deconditioned. My neighbor invited me to her gym so she could get a referral discount, and after 150 Wall Balls, I loved it and signed up.

After college I found myself back in Mexico City and the gym I started working out in is owned by a CrossFit Education Staff member and was invited to start the journey as a coach.

My favorite thing about coaching is giving people the benefits and excitement of movement and health that my coaches gave me. One of my favorite moments that represents this was my sisters first pull-up.

My fun fact is that I learned how to play D&D listening to Podcast.

Coach

Cole Harris

How did your Crossfit Journey Begin? My CrossFit journey began in the spring of 2012. I was falling out of love with basketball and volleyball and walked into CrossFit Fury. I instantly fell in love with the community, coaches, the wide breadth of skills CrossFit had to offer, and the intensity.

How did you get into coaching CrossFit?
I started coaching in general in 2014. I helped run a strength and conditioning program at my high school and started to introduce CrossFit principles into that program. This is technically my first-time coaching CrossFit in a gym. I however have been coaching Olympic Weightlifting and the principles of CrossFit well over a decade remotely.
 
What is my favorite thing about being a CrossFit coach?
My favorite part of being a coach is sharing the moments where an athlete learns something new about themselves or crushes a record. The process of strength and personal development is not sexy. It is clumsy, frustrating, and can leave us hanging high and dry without progress for months. However, if we remain consistent and creative in our approach, we have moments, sweet moments where things click and progress is realized. Giving an athlete the support in this process and being there for the moment of victory is why I am a coach. My second favorite aspect of coaching is teaching athletes how to experience that victory on the physical and emotional level, because if an athlete cannot experience a win, they have already lost.
