Kaitlin Marciel

Level 2 Trainer

Kaitlin has been immersed in CrossFit since 2017 and began coaching in 2018. While she has always gravitated toward fast-paced, sub-six-minute workouts that include a barbell, she’s recently been embracing the challenge and discipline of endurance training.

As a coach, Kaitlin is passionate about building genuine connections. She’s driven by the stories and motivations that bring people into the gym and keep them coming back. Her philosophy is rooted in the belief that movement is essential for longevity—after all, the ability to squat well is linked to a longer lifespan.

Whether you're chasing a new PR or simply looking to move better, Kaitlin is here to support your journey—one rep at a time.

Greg Brown

Level 2 Trainer

Greg has been immersed in the world of CrossFit for over a decade, dedicating the last two years to coaching at CODE 541. Prior to that, he spent four years coaching at his home box in Southern California. Greg’s passion for CrossFit shines through in everything he does, combining his knowledge and experience to inspire athletes of all levels. He holds both his Level 2 Trainer and Gymnastics Course Certificates, bringing a wealth of expertise to the gym.

Greg leads the two Saturday morning classes and frequently fills in during his time off from his full-time job of teaching 4th grade. When he can, he plans some "fun warm-up games" for classes, and there is a good chance you will hear some 80s Rock tunes on his class playlist.

Greg enjoys hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and spending time with his wife and dog, Shiloh during his time away from the gym.

Peter Cassidy

Level 2 Trainer

Stephanie Peters

Hyrox Coach

Stephanie is a lifelong endurance athlete who brings grit, purpose, and high-energy coaching to Code 541’s HYROX program. With experience in multiple half and full Ironman distance triathlons, she’s also an accomplished bike racer, runner, and nordic and alpine skier who loves long days of movement in the mountains. She was drawn to HYROX’s blend of running under fatigue combined with functional strength, strategy, and resilience. For Stephanie, HYROX is the perfect fusion of efficiency and intensity: high-intensity intervals, purposeful strength training, and measurable progress in every session.

After joining CODE 541 three years ago, she discovered how functional strength training elevated her performance—and HYROX has become the perfect blend of her passions. She loves the strong sense of community the sport creates and believes athletes go further when they train together. As a HYROX Group Instructor, Stephanie enjoys coaching athletes to push with smart intensity and confidence. She is a resource on race strategy, pacing, and running efficiency and is passionate about building a supportive, hard-working class environment. Outside the gym, you’ll find her trail running, mountain biking, skiing, and adventuring with her husband and two kids.

Bryan Miller

Power Lifting Coach

Coach Bryan brings a wealth of experience, discipline, and grit to the CODE 541 team. A U.S. Army veteran, he served as a Sapper during Operation Iraqi Freedom, seeing combat in Basra and Sadr City. After his military service, he continued serving his community as both a paramedic and a deputy sheriff, taking on specialized roles including K9 handler and SWAT team member.

With over five years of competitive strongman experience, Bryan is a two-time United States Strongman Nationals qualifier. He now channels that passion into coaching—leading group classes at CODE 541 and working as a personal trainer focused on general strength development for combat veterans.

What drives him most is helping others break through mental barriers.

“I love to see people believe in themselves in ways they never thought possible. To change ‘I can’t’ to ‘I can’—and eventually to ‘I did.’ That kind of confidence carries far beyond the gym.”
