I travel a lot for business and get to drop in on lots of CrossFit boxes around the country. While I enjoy training with and meeting new people from all over, CrossFit Menace took it to the next level. Gavin is what CrossFit coaches aspire to be and the facility/equipment was top-notch. It was obvious that CrossFit Menace was a labor of love for Gavin. You can tell a lot about a coach and his gym by how they treat a drop-in. CF Menace made me feel like one of the crew.

Other days, we may focus more on cardio & conditioning with rowers and bikes. Some days are focused on body weight movements like pushups, sit-ups, and pull-ups. Some days are a mix of everything. Sign up today!

Each class is 60 minutes and led by qualified coaches. We always start together with a warm-up designed to activate the muscles being used in the workout.

The coach will brief the group on the workout, the movements, and the proper form. During the workout, the coach will be guiding and providing instruction.

At the end of class, we will cool down together to accelerate recovery and reduce potential injury. Sign up today!

STEPHANIE VIENER (Skandal)

Coach

Coach Steph is a graduate of Lansing Community College with an associates degree in applied science of nursing, also a licensed paramedic for the state of Michigan, a combat medic and sergeant for the army national guard and a certified L1 crossfit trainer. 

Stephanie began her fitness career in 2002 where she became a serious athlete in track and cross country. Competing and placing in the top 20 in the state out of 100’s of athletes, Stephanie furthered her career at the collegiate running level and challenged herself even more competing in multiple triathlons. When she joined the Army in 2010, she was put in charge of multiple companies (large military groups) in conducting military regulated physical training (PT).

Always wanting to challenge herself, Stephanie found her nitch for weightlifting in 2011. From there she competed in a body building figure show. Missing the “team aspect” and more competitive nature, Stephanie was able to fill the missing voids when she fell into crossfit. 

Stephanie gets joy in seeing others succeed and being so versatile in fitness, she has a head full of knowledge waiting to share.

“I knew I wanted to eventually help and coach others when I was out in charge of running physical training for the Army. In the military there are PT standards in which we are responsible in meeting, and when there are soldiers whom aren’t meeting these standards, they are at risk of termination from the military. So getting to help them by pushing them daily, writing up workout plans and passing along diet advice, I not only get to see them grow as an athlete and soldier but I also get to see them reach their goals and feel a sense of accomplishment. 

Fitness is a huge part of our everyday lives and it is very important along with proper nutrition in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I really look forward to sharing my fitness passion and helping athletes meet their goals whatever the age or physical condition may be.”

  FUN FACTS – Is mortally fearful of worms, and the infamous “butt wink”. Used to have a fully loaded World of Warcraft “knight elf” character. Once ran down one of her friends with her car. Grunts louder than most men when she Olympic Lifts.

GAVIN DUBETZ

Coach Zero

Educated at Michigan State University and LCC, Gavin is A Certified advanced life support Paramedic with additional certifications in PreHospital Trauma Life Support, Advanced cardiac life support, Professional Rescuer level CPR, Pediatric advanced life support and a bunch of other Emergency Medical Mumbo-Jumbo that wont matter one bit because CrossFit only makes you “think” you’re dying. But this knowledge does give him a broad and detailed understanding of how you tick, and the physical issues and pitfalls that you may encounter in your search for health and strength, such as setbacks, plateaus, rehab issues, old injuries and cardiac restrictions, just to name a few. This allows Gavin to scale your workouts for whatever your goal…weight loss, strength, agility, a better body image, injury or weakness stabilization, competition level CrossFit Skills, looking fantastic naked, or to just make chasing your kids around significantly easier. Coach Gavin is also ROCKTAPE Fascial Movement Taping 1 and 2 Certified, for Kinesiology Taping. 

    Zero Transitioned into CrossFit from years of standard “Bro” style Globo Gym lifting, which he admittedly still participates in. We all know old habits die hard, but Coach Gavin is a firm believer that a good mix of athletics creates a well prepared and proportioned athlete, and that standard isolation style lifting still has a place in any athletic endeavor. So its unlikely you’ll hear him hating on traditional gym-goers, yoga fans, pilates students, or any other health endeavor that many CrossFit advocates have come to look down upon over the years. Instead, all will be welcome at Menace and he will make sure you find a way to use CrossFit as a weapon to make you more devastating at whatever physical endeavors you choose to engage in. He himself uses CrossFit as a means to attack Both Snowboarding and Paddle-boarding much more aggressively. What’s that? You’re on a bowling league..? No problem..Gavin will figure out a way you can utilize CrossFit to increase your average, while making everyone else at the alley afraid of you. He’ll also make sure CrossFit makes you the physical envy of everyone in your community/suburb. It’s their jealousy that will drive you, and he knows it.

     A hardliner, fanatic for form and safety, he’s been called “The squat nazi” more than once, and it doesn’t bother him one bit. Other than His L1 And L2 CrossFit Coach Certifications, Gavin sought out his CrossFit Olympic Lifting and CrossFit Gymnastics certifications as well, as he believes a strong focus on proper Oly Lifting and broad & detailed knowledge of gymnastics creates the perfect foundation for an athletes CrossFit career. He also has acquired his USA Weightlifting Level 1 certification. A Buddhist for almost 27 years, Coach Gavin understands the need for patience as well as a balanced mind when approaching ones fitness goals.  Also, he’s of the belief that nothing works without a proper diet, so expect him to ask you about yours. And if you’re addicted to sweets, junk food, fast food, soda or bad carbs…expect to lie to him….a lot. If he believes you’re not making progress, becoming stronger and improving as an athlete at his facility, expect him to ask you questions. He’ll want to know if you’re under unusual stress..at home…at work, if your focus and attention to your better health and self image is getting sidelined, if there is something outside of the CrossFit Menace family acting as a roadblock to your goals, and he’ll certainly ask about your diet. Simply put…he’s entirely comfortable sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong if he thinks something is derailing your goals here at Menace. So feel free to approach him (or any Menace Coach) with questions or concerns. Everyone does this differently, and there are NO stupid questions. Like “Do I get a nickname too”? Yes…you’ll get a nickname, but you have to earn it and no you don’t get to choose it.

     This all boils down to, Zero loves this sport. He’s obsessed with your health and fitness, and nothing would make him happier than being a catalyst to your success in becoming stronger, healthier, more attractive, and just entirely more pleased with yourself and your quality of life. 

Fun Facts – He’s fully prepared for the eventual, and unavoidable Zombie Apocalypse. Is an official graduate of Starfleet Academy as well as the X-Men Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, and has the diplomas to prove it. Is secretly Batman…but keep your mouth shut. Hates Country Music, Loves Lego’s. Hates Ben Affleck, Loves cartoons. Hates his Birthday, Loves Halloween. Can accurately pee into a bottle/can while operating a motor vehicle. Came up with the “Avoid Ghetto” option for GPS systems..(Un-Patented, for now). His Arch Enemy is…The Mosquito…and he will hunt one in his home for hours to dispatch it. Will scold you publicly for misusing spellings of “They’re, Their, and There”. Would sleep 14 hours a day if it made sense.
