About Us

coach maddie Shine

Coach Maddie discovered CrossFit during a health transformation journey after graduating from IPFW in 2013. After a few years of teaching regular aerobics classes, she found her true passion for helping others achieve their fitness goals and truly loved the competitive drive CrossFit had to offer.

Maddie has become a competitive CrossFit athlete as well as a competitive Olympic Lifter over the course of her journey here at Mad Apple. She competed on the 2016 and 2017 Central Regional CrossFit Games team.

Maddie’s favorite thing about Mad Apple is the community and meeting, new members. She is the head coach of the On-Ramp program at both locations.

She holds a degree in Telecommunications and journalism, but her true passion is fitness and health. She is also the head Coach for nutrition via Cutter Fitness.

coach Vicki Toth

Bored of her running routine and occasional gym-going routine, Coach Vicki stumbled upon CrossFit after a few friends’ posts on Facebook and Twitter caught her eye.  She walked into her intro class intimidated and not knowing what to expect.  At that point, she never would have known how great an impact CrossFit would have on her life.  There is nothing else out there like CrossFit.  Not only are the workouts geared to bring your body to its peak in fitness, but the CrossFit community is what brought her back week after week.  Every time she came to the box, she was surrounded by like-minded people who love being there just as much as she did.  In no other gym has she felt the same type of camaraderie.  CrossFit is something that has become a major part of her life.

coach kaleb Hetrick

Kaleb grew up in Fort Wayne playing most sports but favoring baseball. He grew up in a family that always pushed him to do his best and encouraged him to be involved in several different sports and activities. Having an older brother who was also involved in sports, he always had a competitive drive. Although he enjoys competition, his passion and strength comes through him being a man of God. Nothing Kaleb has accomplished this far goes without giving the glory back to God. Kaleb has been a gym rat for years, but has recently had the joy of falling in love with CrossFit. He always asked himself what his purpose for training at the gym was and when he discovered CrossFit, he found the answer. He is driven to helping people succeed in their dreams and goals and wants to help make a difference in the world.
