For 13 years, Mike Herman and Katie Hunsberger have been the heart behind CrossFit Summa — and yes, they’re still (slightly sappily) in love despite the many hours they work together each day. ❤️
From day one, their mission has been simple but powerful: create a space where every single person who walks through the doors feels safe, seen, and heard. Not just coached — cared for.
Mike is an eternal student. He’s constantly reading, studying, and learning — always asking, “How can we do this better?” His drive to improve isn’t about growth for growth’s sake; it’s about making sure every member feels valued, supported, and genuinely loved.
Katie is discipline personified. Steady. Consistent. Unshakeable. She has a rare gift for helping people focus on small, manageable changes that turn into massive, lasting transformations. She doesn’t chase quick fixes — she builds foundations.
Together, they’ve spent over a decade refining their craft, learning from mistakes, celebrating wins, and evolving alongside the community they love so much. And they’re just getting started.
They’re excited about the future of Summa — and even more excited about the lives they’ll continue to impact with the lessons they’ve learned along the way. 💪✨
The Coaches
Brooke Wolford is the life of the party — and if you’ve ever been to our annual holiday party, you already know that’s not an exaggeration. 🎉
Brooke has a magnetic, infectious personality that draws people in instantly. She has a rare gift: making every athlete feel comfortable, seen, and genuinely heard from the moment they walk through the door. Whether you’re brand new or years in, you matter in her class.
But don’t mistake the fun for fluff — Brooke knows how to coach. She brings energy, attentiveness, and intention to every session, making sure you move well, work hard, and leave feeling accomplished. And yes… she will absolutely make sure you’re having a blast while doing it.
High vibes. Big heart. Serious fun. That’s Coach Brooke. 💪✨
We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. James Smith to the CrossFit Summa team! James brings a wealth of knowledge and a strong background in Physical Therapy, along with a deep passion for helping people move and feel better. He is driven by guiding individuals through physical challenges, pain, and limitations—and finds the greatest reward in watching his patients regain mobility, strength, confidence, and independence.
James has experience treating a wide range of conditions, including orthopedic injuries, traumatic brain injuries, vestibular pathologies, and hand and wrist injuries. He also completed an extensive internship process with our coaching team before earning his CrossFit Level 1, allowing him to learn the ins and outs of our classes and how to best support members of all experience levels in class!
His approach is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to live life to the fullest, free from pain and physical limitations—and he’s committed to helping make that possible.
Outside of the gym, James enjoys playing golf, doing CrossFit, and spending time walking his loyal (and very loved) dog, Pebbles 🐾
Steve Doherty is proof that you don’t have to be the loudest voice in the room to make the biggest impact. A lawyer by trade and coach by passion, Steve brings thoughtfulness, precision, and intention to everything he does.
Quiet by nature, Steve is always observing, always learning, and always refining his craft. Behind that calm demeanor is a relentless drive to improve — both for himself and for the athletes he coaches. He believes excellence is built through details, consistency, and doing the small things right.
Steve has a gift for bringing out the best in others, offering steady guidance, sharp insight, and encouragement that hits exactly when you need it!
Connor O’Hanlon is, quite simply, the strongest guy in the room — and not just because of the weight on the bar. A former competitive powerlifter, Connor brings serious strength and technical expertise to every class he coaches. If there’s a heavy barbell involved, you want him in your corner.
But what truly sets Connor apart is his character. He’s unwavering in his beliefs and moral compass, fiercely loyal to his friends and family, and always willing to step up to help others succeed. He leads the way he lifts — with intention, integrity, and zero shortcuts.
Connor brings knowledge, charisma, and confidence to the gym floor, coaching by example and inspiring athletes to raise their standards both inside and outside the gym. Strong in body. Stronger in principle. 💪
Stef Neubauer is a Level 2 CrossFit Trainer who brings strength, heart, and steady leadership to every class she coaches.
A mom of two college-aged kiddos and a real-life superwoman. She leads by example — showing up consistently, working hard, and reminding everyone that resilience isn’t loud… it’s practiced daily.
Stef has a gift for meeting athletes where they are, helping them build confidence under the bar and belief in themselves beyond it. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just trying to make it through the workout, she’s right there with you — encouraging, empowering, and probably lifting something heavy along the way. 💪
