Our Team
Ryan Avery
About Coach
I've been involved with health and fitness for over 25 years. Starting with traditional martial arts training in my youth, then running, and now over a decade through CrossFit™, OPEX®, and Precision Nutrition.
Turning Point
Growing up in rural northwest Wisconsin, there wasn't much available in the way of performance training. When later I opened my own martial arts academy and had students qualify for the national championships I found many of the athletes at the highest levels were doing CrossFit in the off-season and I had to check it out. This turned into a decades long odyssey of learning, growing and developing an entirely new perspective on fitness and performance. My brother and I started Hybrid Farm to create an oasis of fitness where healthy people with the help of great coaches could learn the strategies and do the work to achieve their true potential.
Motivation & Passion
I've been learning, teaching, and helping others to teach through martial arts, fitness, and business most of my life. I have a passion for helping everyone from beginners to elite athletes find their true potential through better fitness and lifestyle strategies.

Nikki Schaffer
About Coach
I was a gymnast for 10 years and found a love for coaching it even more starting at 15 years old. I competed through USAG and MSHSL and coached through community education, MSHSL, and MAGA, girls age 3 to 18. I found crossfit a few years ago and naturally enjoy the gymnastics elements. And once again, I love coaching the sport I enjoy so much.
Turning Point
Life was not always kind but gymnastics and crossfit have always provided me a space where it is just me and the work for a little while. It is a bonus that it has provided me physical strength to match my mental toughness.
Motivation & Passion
There is no greater feeling than seeing another person light up when they achieve something. I thoroughly enjoy helping people find some of those moments in their life.
