About CrossFit 585 - MetFix Victor

Theresa Sbarra began her CrossFit journey in March of 2010 and knew almost immediately that this was more than just a workout program.  In fact, she signed up for her CrossFit Level 1 Seminar during her second week of CrossFit and earned her Level 1 certification just three months later.  What started as personal curiosity quickly turned into a career dedicated to coaching, education, and helping people become stronger, healthier, and more capable for life.

Over the past 15+ years, Theresa has coached athletes of all ages and abilities– from beginners who were afraid to walk through the door, to competitive athletes, to older adults who simply want to maintain independence and quality of life.  She believes that CrossFit, when coached well and scaled appropriately, is on of the most powerful tools in the world for improving health, confidence, and longevity.

Theresa is currently a Certified CrossFit Level 3 Trainer (CF-L3) and holds numerous CrossFit specialty certifications including: Kids, Advanced Gymnastics, Gymnastics, Endurance, Programming, Rowing, Scaling, and Spot the Flaw.  Her coaching focuses heavily on movement quality, appropriate scaling, long-term progression, and creating an environment where every athlete can be successful regardless of starting point.

In addition to her CrossFit certifications, Theresa has extensive education in nutrition and metabolic health.  She is a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach, and RP Strength Nutrition Coach.  As a MetFix Affiliate owner, she believes strongly in metabolic health and completed the MetFix Foundations Seminar.  To be adapt at working with an older population, Theresa completed three classes through the Institute of Clinical Excellence and holds a certification in Modern Management of the Older Adult (MMOA).  In April of 2026, she became certified through the Adaptive Training Academy to being focusing on working with disabled Veterans.

Theresa is the co-owner of CrossFit 585 – MetFix Victor and is passionate about building not just a gym, but a community where people support each other, work hard, laugh often, and become stronger in every sense of the word.  She believes the goal of coaching is not just better workouts – but better lives, longer independence, and stronger communities.

Jeff is Co-Owner and Coach who brings a passion for fitness to the gym, every day. Originally born in Montana, he was raised in Big Flats, NY.  Jeff balances his recent retirement from his pre-sales engineer roles in the high-tech industry and his life in the gym.  He enjoys spending time with his two adult sons, Jake and James, and his amazing partner, Theresa.  When he is not at the gym, you can usually find him on the golf course, enjoying the outdoors, or relaxing with a good bourbon.

Jeff was introduced to CrossFit in 2012, by Theresa who knew he would benefit from something beyond traditional weightlifting.  The constantly varied workouts, improvements in overall conditioning, and the noticeable progress compared to just lifting kept him coming back.  He went on to get his CrossFit L2, CrossFit Kids, and MetFix Foundations certifications.

Casey is a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer with a passion for helping athletes of all levels unlock their potential, whether that’s getting their first pull-up, dialing in their Olympic lifts, or simply moving better in everyday life.

With a background in competitive fitness and a love for community, Casey thrives on creating an environment where hard work feels fun and everyone feels like they belong.  Her coaching style blends technical precision with tough love motivation, making sure athletes push past their comfort zone while staying safe and confident.

Douglas O’Neil, originally from Miami, Florida, is a CrossFit Level 2 Coach.  Outside the gym, he’s an accountant with a long career in the construction industry and a devoted family man-married to his wife Cheryl for over 25 years with 2 children, Sam and Anna, who are both active in sports and CrossFit.

He first turned to CrossFit to improve his fitness and loved the challenge, accountability, and community it provided.  Douglas began coaching in North Carolina and has spent the last three years coaching at CrossFit 585.  He holds both CrossFit L2 and USAW L2 certifications, and his favorite part of coaching is celebrating athlete’s “firsts” from new PRs to competition milestones.

Douglas enjoys high-endurance workouts like DT and team WODs (though he avoids long distance running).  Fun fact: he once survived a piranha bite. His philosophy is simple – “Try hard, give your best effort, enjoy the journey, and don’t be afraid to fail.”

Advice for new members:  “Just try-every movement can be scaled to your level”.

Mike Decker, originally from Port Byron, NY, discovered CrossFit through an online ad and was hooked within two weeks.  What kept him coming back was the supportive community and competitive atmosphere that quickly turned into lasting friendships.

He earned his L1 in 2018 at CrossFit Taproot and now holds a CrossFit Level 2 certification.  As a coach, Mike’s favorite part is seeing athletes light up when they hit a new PR or finally master a skill – helping people believe in themselves is what drives him most.

Outside the gym, Michal works in IT/Cyber Security and loves being a “cheer dad,” hiking, camping, and spending time outdoors.  His favorite movements are heavy barbell work, double unders, and rope climbs (though he’ll admit the Echo bike is his nemesis).

Advice for new members: “Focus on form first, be patient, and trust the process”.
