Chris Shimley

Head Coach

I have been doing CrossFit since 2010 and started doing it to train in the offseason for football. I love to compete in CrossFit and dedicate a lot of time to improve myself for competition. I finished the CrossFit open in 2013 in 12th place and finished 19th at CrossFit regionals. In 2014, I finished 11th and regionals and in 2015, with the changes to the formatting, I finished 33rd. I hope to eventually make it to the CrossFit games and compete with the best in the world. I love coaching CrossFit to see the changes in people physical and emotional lives. I hope to keep coaching for the rest of my life and be able to have an impact on people’s lives daily.

Taylor Siewin

Coach

I started working at Top Fuel in 2015 as the Front Desk Attendant. As my time here continued, my passion for fitness grew and my job became a lifestyle. I started my coaching CircuitFit. This class brought out my love to coach. That’s when I decided to go for my personal training certification. I will always have passion for the one-on-one atmosphere. But when given the opportunity to get my L1, I said oh heck yeah! Fitness and nutrition go hand-in-hand which then pushed me into becoming a nutrition coach. This journey has been my favorite yet 🙂

Rachael Tullis

Coach

 I was introduced to CrossFit in September of 2014 as a way to stay fit. Over time I developed a passion for the sport and decided to take it more seriously in January of 2016. I have competed in the past 3 Opens and made it to regionals last year in the 16-17 year old devision. I love being able to challenge myself everyday and seeing the progress that I have made is truly rewarding. Caoching CircuitFit has been a joy to me because I love seeing people working as hard as they can to reach their goals. My favorite part about coaching is seeing people achieve something that they never thought they would be able to do, wether that is their first air squat or pull-up!

Jack Wilson

Coach

I started CrossFit in January of 2015, after a co-worker talked me into giving it a try.  After the first day, I knew this was for me.  No other workout type has the same positive and upbeat atmosphere, and it makes it truly fun to workout.  CrossFit has improved my quality of life in so many different aspects, and I want others to experience these changes for themselves.  It is amazing how much I have learned about my own body over the past few years, and I look forward to continue growing in all aspects of health and wellness.  We are all capable of amazing things, and you will see this if you put in the effort.  No matter your beginning level of fitness, CrossFit has the ability to help everyone live their best life.

Jeremy Buzea

Coach

My motivation in CrossFit not only comes from wanting to maintain my health but also from my daughter. I want to see her grow up as part of the CrossFit community to understand the importance of health and fitness. In the gym, I put as much into every WOD as possible so that it motivates others to continue to push themselves and work harder. I enjoy helping people get better at the gym and seeing our members hit a PR and the smile on their face is enough to push anyone to continue to do their best.

Outside of CrossFit, I try to continue to be as active as possible. I have run 5K’s, the Warrior Dash, the Metro Dash and I plan on doing the Valpo Triathalon in 2014. When I eat clean, it makes me feel lighter, faster, stronger and more energetic, but I incorporate a plan to increase size and performance by getting slots of cards before bed to load up for my morning session at the gym. I want to tell the Top Fuel Community that while your at the box put everything you have into the programming. Warmup, strength, and Wod. Tighten up your diet and I guarantee you’ll get results.
