Coaches
Josh Johnson
Affiliate Owner / Head Coach
Josh became the General Manager of the Rochester Sports Garden in 2014; an indoor sport facility that has been in his family for 30 years. His great aunt Jeanne, the founder of RSG, whole heartedly believed that everyone deserved an indoor facility for year-round play.
In 2016, Josh was given the opportunity to open CrossFit RSG inside the Garden alongside his wife, Sarah. Josh was honored to join in on Jeanne’s vision with this addition. We know Jeanne would be bursting with pride knowing women are now lifting weights inside the Garden right alongside the men.
“CrossFit has given me and the Garden an additional platform to help our customers be healthy and happy. It has brought a sense of community to the Garden that we didn’t know was missing. My 70-year-old Dad does CrossFit here at RSG three days a week and I think that is just the coolest thing ever.”
Sarah Johnson
Director of Operations / Coach
In 2015, temporarily living in Dallas, TX, Sarah found the first thing that felt like home in a small CrossFit box. She instantly fell in love with the competition of the sport, the confidence the sport gave her, and the constant, genuine support of the community.
In 2016, she had the opportunity to open CrossFit RSG alongside her husband and it has been, and continues to be one of the most rewarding adventures of her life.

"I remember painting the wall ball lines with Josh at 2am thinking to myself, "What are we getting ourselves into?" I never could have imagined what this place would turn into and how much this group of people would mean to us. What an honor it is to help people achieve our ultimate goal; to be happy and healthy."
Shauna Sweet

Focused on proper technique and individualized guidance, Shauna works to help athletes build a solid foundation of movement, strength, and confidence, supporting them in reaching their fitness goals.
“This methodology has numerous ways to modify any workout which makes CrossFit accessible to everyone and that is why I love coaching! Taking people from ‘I can't do that!’ to ‘Look what I just did!’”
Mike Leuci
Coach
Coach Mike has been part of the gym community since 2019. His passion for fitness and connection led him to earn his L1 and begin coaching in 2023.
Balancing parenthood, running a small business, and a full-time job, Mike knows the real-life challenge of staying healthy amidst a busy life. For him, the gym is more than a place to train—it’s a second home and a space for growth and connection.
As a coach, Mike brings energy, encouragement, and a commitment to helping members push their limits in a supportive, fun environment. Whether leading a class or training alongside others, he’s all about showing up, working hard, and enjoying the journey.
Outside the gym, he’s with his family, growing his business, cheering on the Bills, and tackling life with the same drive he brings to every workout.
