Nikki Rudzki – CrossFit Level 2, CrossFit Gymnastics
Growing up, I always loved being a part of a team sport! As an adult, CrossFit helped me personally re-find my love for fitness and has helped me be a positive, healthy example for my family! Most recent received my CrossFit Level 2 certification and enjoy continuing to learn the CrossFit methodologies both as an athlete and a trainer. As a labor and delivery nurse by day, helping and caring for others comes rather natural to me, which is another reason I love being a trainer! My favorite aspect of 5 Seasons CrossFit is that athletes often become an extended family both inside and outside of the gym. I love the community, teamwork, and passion for fitness CrossFit helps bring into each of our athlete’s lives.
Cliff Rudzki – CrossFit Level 2, Certified HSN Nutrition Coach, USAW Sports Performance Coach, CrossFit Gymnastics
I was involved in athletics since I was able to walk. I played ice hockey through high school, then picked up crew (rowing) while I attended Iowa State University. I would say I was a good athlete, but never realized my full potential until I found the sport of CrossFit. After college I found a full-time job as an engineer and continued my fitness endeavors at big box gyms. Needless to say, in my years without a strong fitness community and motivation, I stagnated. In 2013 I entered the world of CrossFit. What began as a hobby developed into a passion. The CrossFit community pushed me to excel past my wildest dreams, both in the gym and my personal life. There have been many obstacles in my life that I’ve been able to overcome in part due to CrossFit and our community. The first major obstacle was my first child’s battle with cancer. The second was my own battle with cancer. By the grace of God and support of our community, both my son and I are alive and thriving! I am a CrossFit level 2 certificate holder, and my goal is to help guide you through your fitness journey (physical & mental) and realize YOUR full potential!
Brian Kinney – CrossFit Level 2, USAW Level 1 Sports Performance Coach
I’ve been passionate about fitness for as long as I can remember, with my journey starting in sports. As a kid, I loved playing a variety of sports, but I quickly realized I enjoyed the training and preparation for the sport more than the actual competition. That love for the process eventually led me to coaching, and I’ve now been a CrossFit coach for over ten years. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of coaching athletes of all ages and abilities, from beginners to competitive athletes, across multiple gyms throughout the state. This diverse experience has given me a deep understanding of how to tailor training to meet the unique needs of each individual.
In addition to my coaching experience, I am an avid weightlifter and have a particular passion for gymnastics. I believe the foundation of strength and mobility gained through weightlifting and gymnastics is essential for any athlete looking to improve in CrossFit. These areas are not just my specialty — they’re what I truly enjoy, and I bring that enthusiasm to every class I teach. I’m driven by helping others achieve their goals, whether that’s hitting a new PR, mastering a complex movement, or simply feeling stronger and more confident in their body. My approach is centered on building solid technique, developing a balanced training routine, and creating a positive environment where athletes can thrive.
Jule Day – CrossFit Level 2, Certified HSN Nutrition Coach, CrossFit Kids, CrossFit Gymnastics
Living a holistic wellness lifestyle has always been in my blood. I grew up playing soccer most of my life, and went through the motions at a 24/7 gym for years. I missed the team atmosphere, nothing compares to “shared suffering with a common cause.” When I found CrossFit, I knew I had found something that would challenge me physically and mentally, but what I didn’t expect to find was the energy radiating from the community of people. Whether you’re a youngster, teen, college athlete, well into your years, or just getting started on your fitness journey, you have a place at 5 Seasons CrossFit.
What I love most about coaching is helping others discover their capabilities of doing things they never thought they could, at any stage of their life. Helping people gain confidence, strength, stability and courage that they can take into their everyday lives is the most rewarding and fulfilling piece of being a coach. Fitness for life is what we strive for – to get and BE better both inside and outside the gym walls. CrossFit isn’t just a sport, it’s a passion. Our gym isn’t just a space, it’s a home. Our athletes aren’t just people, they’re family. Your fitness journey is one of a kind, and I’m excited to help you grow in it.
Nicole Kintzle – CrossFit Level 2, CrossFit kids
Family, fitness, and health have always been a top priority in my life. The CrossFit community has provided this for me, and so much more! The overall wellness focus in physical, mental, and nutritional health has put me on a constant path of learning and continues to meet me where I am in my fitness and life journey. Becoming a mom in 2023 changed my fitness goals, but CrossFit allows me to change my fitness as life changes happen. The journey feels so much better having other moms, females, families, and coaches to support me along the way!
I have held my Level 2 CrossFit Certification since March 2024 and CrossFit Kids Certification since July 2020. Coaching has allowed me to thrive in my passion for wanting others to be the best version of themselves. Helping adults and kids achieve their goals and seeing them do things they didn’t think were possible is the best feeling! I would love to help spark your passion for a healthier lifestyle and create a unique fitness journey for you or your children!
Tony Shumaker – CrossFit Level 2, Certified HSN Nutrition Coach, CrossFit Gymnastics
Started athletics in high school and college with baseball and basketball. Like a lot of people I started to miss the team and community around physical activities as I moved away from school. Was looking for something that had a community and came across Crossfit in 2015. Took a little time to build up the courage to actually go in but finally started in 2016.
Everything just started to unfold from there. Soon showing up 3, 4 and 5 times a week. Using my free time to learn CrossFit methodology, why it works and how to use it to make my life better. Along with learning and drilling techniques to help myself process and help others build their skills.
Soon I found myself not only doing things I never thought possible but wanted to teach others. That’s when I decided to pursue coaching. For several years I have spend countless hours of my free time learning, reading and teaching myself. Finally took the L1 in early 2022 and started looking for addition learning opportunities. So far adding the CrossFit Gymnastics course and a NASM certificate with plans to continue education.
Andy Goodell – CrossFit Level 1
From my earliest memories of playing games with neighborhood friends to my active
participation in basketball, football, and baseball throughout middle and high school,
and even continuing into college where I engaged in recreational sports, one thing has
remained constant: my desire for physical activity.
Back in high school, I got hooked on lifting weights. College didn’t slow me down either;
I was still pumping iron whenever I could. But then adulthood hit like a ton of bricks –
job, mortgage, bills – and suddenly, hitting the gym wasn’t a priority anymore. Thankfully
this was just an adjustment period as I quickly got back into a regimen. I cleaned up my
diet and got back into lifting, but something was still missing.
Enter CrossFit, totally by accident. My girlfriend and now wife wanted to do something
different and some old high school buddies were into it, so I figured, why not? That first
workout kicked my butt, but in the best possible way. It was exactly what I needed.
A few years later, something dawned on me: my love for fitness wasn’t just about me
anymore. I wanted to share the sweat, the struggle, and the triumph with anyone willing
to jump in. Completing my CrossFit Level 1 course was truly enlightening. It provided
me with a fresh perspective and a wealth of knowledge. I’m eager to apply what I’ve
learned and guide others on their fitness journey!
Romana Goodell – Associate Coach
Sports have always been a central part of my life. Originally from the Czech Republic, I played floorball, MMA, and became a Jumping Fitness instructor, helping many individuals lose weight and build strength. After moving to the USA five years ago, I discovered 5seasons CrossFit and fell in love with the workouts and community.
I opened my own Jumping Fitness studio and coach at 5 Seasons CrossFit. I hold a Jumping Fitness diploma, ASFA Group Fitness and Bootcamp certification, and have completed the CrossFit Level 1 course.
Coaching in both the Czech Republic and the USA has given me a unique perspective on different training approaches and mentalities. I am dedicated to helping people work hard, stay motivated, and achieve their fitness goals without excuses.
