Sara Cupp
CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, DNP, CRNA
Sara's CrossFit journey began in 2019 after Chris sent her a text asking her if she wanted to try it out. After coming in the first time the rest is history. She fell in love with CrossFit right away. As a former college softball player at the University of Detroit Mercy and Oakland University, she was used to the hard workouts and practice, but CrossFit added something new, Ticker Training. Ticker Training has helped Sara bring her fitness to a new level all while not killing herself. On top of coaching at CFJ, Sara also coached softball at the college level at Oakland University (2 years) and Lawrence Technological University (3 years). Currently Sara is working as a Registered Nurse at St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor and is going back to school at Oakland University to get her Doctorate in Nurse Anesthesia. Sara enjoys spending her spare time with all her nieces and nephews (there is a lot), kayaking, scuba diving, and being outside.
chris follick
Head Trainer, CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, Two Brain Certified Nutrition Coach
Chris Follick has been training and using the CrossFit methodology since 2011. He was first introduced to it at CrossFit Justice as a way to improve his endurance & strength during road races & triathlons. Due to the high intensity and constantly varied workouts, Chris fell in love with CrossFit immediately. In addition to his improved fitness, he also appreciated the sense of community developed through training. Since his humble beginnings, Chris has utilized his increased fitness to compete in the Bayshore & Boston Marathons, a Half-Ironman & a handful of Spartan Obstacle Course Races. However, after years of training, the intensity left Chris fatigued and metabolically broken. The energy and passion for training wasn’t there anymore and he knew that he needed to make a change. In came Vaughn, Max and Kate from Ticker Training. Their take on heartrate-based training left him with a newfound appreciation for fitness that he needed to share with the CFJ community.
rose follick
CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, Certified Physical Therapist Assistant, CrossFit Kids, Diapers & Dumbbells
Rose's journey with CrossFit began about seven years ago. Like many of our coaches, Rose started CrossFit to compliment her endurance background. The hard work thing was easy, the strength component not so much. She put in a lot of hard work over the last seven years and is now a force to be reckoned with. She still enjoys endurance events but also loves to throw some weight around. She has completed numerous marathons as well as CrossFit Competitions. On top of her weightlifting and skills in endurance sports Rose is a mother to twin boys and now leads the CF Kids and Diapers & Dumbbells Programs. She helps give life to our community and provides valuable insights behind the scenes, as well as on the floor coaching.
Vaughn Smith
CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, TwoBrain Nutrition Certified Coach, CrossFit Coach
Vaughn Smith began his CrossFit journey after he saw a clip of the Reebok CrossFit Games in 2012. A former college athlete, Vaughn was Intrigued, dropped in to his first class, got crushed, and decided to come back for more. Even though the workouts are a huge draw for Vaughn, it’s the community & friendly nature of competition that keeps him going. Vaughn knows the road to improved fitness & wellness is made better by those you surround yourself with. He is always learning & striving to be a better coach so he can serve those in his classes.
Vaughn is also touted as a perfect example of the success Ticker Training can bring to any athlete. Vaughn is a long time successful competitive CrossFit athlete who wanted to continue doing what he loved but found that instead of getting better, faster, and stronger, and despite lots of hard work, time, and dedication to intense and heavy training, he had simply stopped progressing. Essentially, Vaughn hit a point where his body had stopped absorbing his training and he needed a program that supports his passions and helps him manage balance of training with a career and a family.
Ticker Training taught Vaughn the difference between training and competing. Slowing down to learn to train and become efficient, Vaughn’s movement has improved and his times/loads have improved since he can actually absorb the training stimulus he gives his body each day.
No longer does Vaughn wake up in the morning and wonder if he was injured, sore, sick, or just getting old. Vaughn reports having more energy and his wife and kids love the person who he has become after starting a Ticker program as they get more of him as his happiest self. Aside from CrossFit, Vaughn loves to spend time with his family & enjoy the outdoors. Hunting, camping, skiing & travelling top the list. Whatever it is, he uses his fitness to enjoy all that life has to offer.
Teri Nucian
CrossFit Level 1 Coach, Two Brain Certified Nutrition Coach
Growing up I played sports year around, but once I graduated high school that came to a very quick stop. I tried staying active between random jogs and attempting different programs like P90x or Sean T's Insanity. I just couldn't get motivated without somewhere to go and without with a group of people to workout with. One afternoon my dad and I watched a CrossFit competition on TV and we were intrigued. I went and tried out a class and I was hooked. I loved how everyone there was trying to get better and cheer each other on. The workouts were always challenging me in one way or another. The idea that there will always be amazing milestones but there will always be room to improve is addicting and I can't get enough of it. I decided to take the CrossFit Level 1 course so I could help others in their CrossFit journey. At CrossFit Justice, Chris and Rose have built such an amazing culture and I love how CFJ was built to help people in health and wellness. I'm so excited to be coaching both CrossFit and Nutrition at CrossFit Justice!
