Rachel Locatelli

COACH

My journey into fitness began in college, where I would head straight from working the front desk at Gold’s Gym to the weight room, training without much direction or understanding. In 2015, after establishing myself in the medical field, I joined a small, community-oriented gym offering HIIT and CrossFit-style workouts. It was there I met my now husband, and fitness has remained a central part of our lives ever since.
Over the years, I’ve explored Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit, and HIIT, but my true passion lies in hypertrophy training. After the birth of my daughter in 2021, I personally experienced the physical and emotional challenges of postpartum recovery. That experience fueled my desire to help others navigate their own fitness journeys with compassion and support.
As a trainer, my mission is to create a safe, welcoming, and fun environment, empowering my clients to build confidence, stay consistent, and reach their goals with purpose and joy.

Joshua Morris

COACH

I started my fitness journey prior to enlisting in the Marine Corps in 2011. This mostly consisted of running, pullups, and pushups to pass the initial strength test. Upon enlisting as a Marine Air Traffic Controller I realized the importance of being both mentally and physically fit. I found crossfit in 2012 as a way to better train myself and my Marines both physically and mentally. Crossfit led me to find Olympic weightlifting, which became my passion for the next decade. Now a self proclaimed retired weightlifter, you can find me training to compete in powerlifting and giving out the best post workout high fives! When not at East Valley, I can be found working at Mesa Gateway Airport as an Air Traffic Controller, or spending time with my wife, Anna, our three dogs and retired race horse. I have a strong love for country music, and am always down to go to a live music event.

Ian Kirkman

COACH

My background is nutrition and exercise. I am soon to be a Dietitian and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. What you put in your body and how you move it are vital determinates of health.
I am dedicated to developing people both physically and mentally, striving to help them become better every day. By providing you with the tools to sharpen skills and build character, I empower everyone to gain confidence and excel both in and out of the gym. I emphasize coachability to prepare you for success beyond the gym, ensuring you develop habits that will serve you for a lifetime.
Committed to a growth mindset, I foster an environment of encouragement, support, and continuous learning. I keep up to date with the latest research in strength and conditioning, recognizing that the field is evolving. I hope to inspire other staff and athletes to become lifelong students of the game, understanding that growth comes from constant learning and adaptation.
Beyond physical training, I believe that a strong mind and positive attitude are key to success. While genetics play a role, attitude and effort are within your control—and focusing on these elements leads to long-term success. “Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard” -Tim Notke. By instilling these values, I hope to ensure that you are not only prepared for competition but also for the challenges of life beyond sport.

Paige Carpenter

COACH

My love for fitness began 12 years ago playing volleyball. This sport showed me the importance of having a community and how working as a team pushes us to be the best version of ourselves. I went on to play 2 years at the collegiate level which further inspired me to follow my dreams of becoming a personal trainer and sparked my passion for nutrition. I’m excited to help you through your wellness journey whether it’s weight loss, strength and conditioning, pre and post natal fitness, and/or nutrition. My mission is to ensure that you live a longer, healthier, and happier life.

BECKY HUSS VASEY

COACH

Having had no athletic background, I discovered CrossFit/Olympic weightlifting as a masters athlete. I developed an instant love of fitness and lifting, and it was life-changing for me and my family. My interest in wellness and my passion for teaching children inspired Iron Kidz—a fitness program for children and teens to learn foundational principles for health, fitness, and lifting. I am a full-time RN and a mom of three busy kids. I coach and compete when time allows. I love my CrossFit community like family and spend most of my free time with the friends and coaches I’ve met in the last eight years.

CHARLIE MOLINA

COACH

Charlie grew up competing in wrestling throughout high school and college. After graduation, his desire to compete did not diminish and he continued with Brazilian Jujitsu, earning his Muay Thai shorts through Fairtex. In 2007, his friend Brian Garmon introduced Crossfit as the fitness program for clients at their work and asked him to assist. This introduction changed his life. Charlie has extensive experience working with de-conditioned and special needs populations which has aided him in developing into an attentive and patient coach who thoroughly enjoys helping those under his watch meet their personal goals. Safety, functionality, and then intensity are mottos that he preaches in his 101 classes.

CHRIS SKOWRONSKI

COACH

Chris is originally from a small ranching town in the foothills of Northern California where there’s not much to do but lift weights and play football! He joined the Navy in 2010 and was fortunate enough to deploy twice to the Arabian Gulf and then forward deployed to Guam (in the Marianas Islands) for the remainder of his service. Along the way he helped his fellow service members to pass physical fitness standards as well as helped others learn the benefits of heavier resistance training. Stating “There’s more to life than running!” In 2016 he left the military to pursue a Sport Science degree from Arizona State University, and will graduate in Fall 2020. Chris has continuously grown his coaching skills since 2016 by becoming certified as a trainer, starting a strength training company, Ragnarok Performance, and is currently interning at ASU Sport Performance and East Valley Strength & Conditioning.

Chris prides himself on being a strong geek, “I love to lift things up and put them down, but I will also watch the original Star Wars, or play video games if there’s time!” Currently he likes to compete in Strongman events throughout the year, with a recent best of a second place finish February 2020. Powerlifting is another love of his, but will admit it’s been a while since his last formal competition. However, he hopes to change that soon!

SAM LEEHE

COACH

I’ve been a personal trainer since 2008. I’ve helped people lose weight and keep it off; gain weight and strength; get ready for CrossFit, weightlifting, and powerlifting competitions; and I’ve helped a lot of people become fitter and healthier. Everyone has the potential to be where they want to be; sometimes they need a helping hand to get there. I’ve been able to provide that through nutritional counseling, skill work, personal programming, and everything in between.

AUGUST SCHMIDT

OWNER/COACH

The two things that I love most about coaching are the people and the beauty of the sport. Everything boils down to relationships; the coach-athlete relationship is very special. A coach has the privilege of mentoring athletes, and the right coach can be a life-changing influence. Coaches have the opportunity to teach people how to approach problems, and how to work in structured and focused ways towards accomplishing their goals. Possibly most important of all, the coach creates the culture of the team. The coach can teach athletes how to treat people, how to build people up, and how to create a culture for the betterment of everyone on the team.
