Greg grew up playing a variety of recreational sports. He only touched upon strength and conditioning in High school and college. After college, he found himself in the familiar cycle of joining a gym, running, trying a bodybuilding regimen and like many gym members, eventually losing interest due to the monotony of workouts.
In 2011, his brother Mark urged him to try CrossFit. He ignored his brother’s claims that this training style was the answer to his gym boredom. When Mark finally made Greg try a workout, there was no turning back. The unique arrangement of push-ups, sit-ups and air squats left him in a state of euphoria and he was convinced. He was most intrigued by the mathematical computation of fitness based on measurable and repeatable tasks. Greg continued with CrossFit workouts, never again experiencing the dull or drab feeling from exercise.
As a coach, Greg is extremely focused on proper body movement (how to squat, how to press, even how to stand). After 13 years in corporate retail, he decided to pursue his passion for fitness and helping others through CrossFit. Greg hopes to enable the members of CrossFit Incline to reach their potential through this unique training style. He knows the power of a community atmosphere of support and accountability where members learn, grow, and experience a workout environment that is built to be fun and challenging.

Bryan Sauter
Trainer
Bryan started at CrossFit Incline in 2014 fully expecting it to be the next in line of a one month fitness trend. He bounced around from traditional gyms, to at home programs, to being completely lazy and not doing anything. However, after his first week of CrossFit, he realized this was not like his previous one month fitness trends. He quickly became part of a community and discovered that CFI is the most supportive, encouraging, and down to earth group of people he’s ever gotten to know. Now he can do more things than he thought possible, but still knows that there is so much more to learn. That’s why in 2018 he decided to become a coach at CrossFit Incline. He’s learned this is not a trend, but a lifestyle. A lifestyle that he is so happy that he found.
John Sinosky III (J3)
Trainer
John played a variety of organized and recreational sports from early childhood into adulthood. He began his fitness journey in high school following various forms of traditional weightlifting, bodybuilding, and powerlifting over the years. After 20 years lifting weights and playing many recreational sports, he knew he needed something different, something better. The “tried and true” methods of lifting weights 3-5 days a week, along with 30-60 minutes of steady-state cardio several times a week, was no longer cutting it.
“In December 2014, I heard about a CrossFit box opening a few miles from my house and decided to show up for the grand opening. I had no idea what to expect. After a quick walkthrough of the box from Greg and Ed, I was completely humbled by a 7 minute workout of burpees, squats, and sit-ups, but I immediately knew I found my new fitness passion.”
John quickly realized how much there is to learn about proper movement, mechanics, motor patterns, and efficiency, not just for CrossFit WODs, but for better health and wellness, and for life in general. Even more so, he quickly learned about the CrossFit community and found he enjoyed helping others reach their goals even more than reaching his own goals. After being a CrossFit Incline member, he joined the training team at CrossFit Incline were he continues his growth while also helping others better themselves.
Matt McAneny
Trainer
Matt started CrossFit in May of 2017 after his sister convinced him to give it a shot. His first workout was the hero WOD, Murph, which is completed every Memorial Day weekend in CrossFit gyms around the country. Murph consists of a 1 mile run, followed with 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 air squats, and finishing with a 1 mile run. It was the hardest workout he had ever done, but loved the community aspect of doing it with other people. He was hooked. The constantly varied movements performed at high intensity methodology made sense to him immediately. Working out had previously been a chore, with CrossFit it became something he enjoyed doing. Matt’s favorite part of coaching is helping someone learn a movement they didn’t think they would be capable of doing. “I think everyone is more capable than what they think they are. It’s nice to be able to help.”
Georgetta Frederick
Trainer
It’s a journey ~ sometimes a long one! Georgetta’s journey to CrossFit began in December 2011, when the recently widowed mother of two found herself winded walking up the household stairs, a bit more than 200 lb. A realization happened to her that day atop the stairs, “If I want to see my girls grow up, I have to change.”
The journey began with portion control of unhealthy foods. A few months later, she began walking and drinking water. Sweatin’ to the Oldies came next! She began to learn about food ~ all calories are not created equally! The food choices became more healthy and nutritious. Learning to run with the Couch to 5K program was the next progression. She then developed the courage to go to a regular gym ~ the thought of exercising in front of people was so intimidating! After several years of using all the basic gym equipment, she plateaued and began to think, what’s next? A friend who had joined CrossFit Incline raved about the fun and challenging workouts, the great trainers, and how encouraging the environment was. Georgetta “dropped in” in the fall of 2017. A few weeks later, she came back to get a membership. “I love the ever-changing, challenging workouts. I love the positive atmosphere ~ everyone wants to see everyone else succeed. The community of CrossFit is phenomenal, I’ve formed many wonderful friendships. My fitness level has improved significantly since joining CrossFit. I want to encourage others in their journeys, so I became a trainer in 2022 ~ one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! It is so exciting to see others making progress! Come join us!”
Kaylee Frederick
Trainer
Kaylee has been active all her life and has always prioritized physical activity. Throughout school she played many sports: soccer, basketball, martial arts, track and field, and cross country. But she was fortunate enough to find her two true passions at a relatively young age.
She started running when she was 7 years old and ultra-marathon running when she was 14 years old. She ran her first marathon, 50k, and 50-miler at age 14, her first 100-miler at age 16, and her first 200-miler at age 17. Running has changed her life and she hopes to continue setting new records, breaking the boundaries, and setting new limits.
She started CrossFit when she was 12 years old. Her mom invited her to her first workout, which was a cumulative 6 minute hang with a punishment of running and push ups when you dropped. She immediately knew CrossFit was for her. At the time she thought she was invincible and knew everything, but over the years as she matured she started really learning and strengthening her abilities. Every coach has a different training style and she accredits every one of them for how far she’s come. She even made it to the CrossFit Games Quarterfinals in 2022. She hopes to continue passing on everything that they’ve taught her and teach you to love the sport that she loves so much.
Adam Burkett
Trainer
Adam is your classic story of a kinda athlete in high school going off to college and gaining the “freshman 15.” Actually, he likes to exceed expectations and did the “freshman 20”. He played various sports in high school and only played video games in college with the occasional throwing of a football when the weather was nice. Fast forward about 12 years and he sees himself very overweight, unmotivated and prediabetic. At this point, Adam was convinced by friends and family to join CrossFit. Something he openly disregarded and poked fun at because he believed in only “heavy lifting”. That first workout humbled him to his core and made him realize that things had better change or else he was going to end up in far worse condition. He found the workouts were so much more fun than just lifting and the community aspect was amazing. Some of the best people he has ever met go to that gym. Once armed with information from his doctor and wanting to better himself he made serious lifestyle changes, prioritized CrossFit and even went as far as becoming a trainer. Why become a trainer? Because he never thought he would do something like that and he wanted to do something completely different from his norm. Also, now that he is a coach, he is motivated to keep the weight off and keep improving. Why? Who wants to get training help/advice from an overweight, out of shape trainer? Answer: no one. He leaves an open challenge to anyone that comes in the door. “Just come in and try it. What’s the worst that can happen?”
