our mission

We are not just a fitness program. At SideYard Training CrossFit we are a vehicle for life change. Anyone that has been a member at SideYard Training CrossFit for more than a few months can testify to the unique environment that is fostered by our coaching staff and our community.

This place has become a “third place” for many of our members outside of the work and home life.

It’s a place they come to unwind, work off stress and know that they can be their true authentic self.

No matter what your background is, your age, race, religion, or political beliefs… In this gym, we are all athlete on the same journey. In this gym we all root for each other. We all push each other through difficult times, we all celebrate breakthroughs both physical and mental. In this gym, we all may look and act a little different but we are all part of the SideYard Training CrossFit family.

The small ripple effect that occurs from nurturing happier healthier humans, extends from gym life to the world around us.

OUR MISSION:

TO PROVIDE

positive & challenging environments promoting health, fitness, well being & community

our story

We have a passion for those who want to learn and especially for those who want to find health. Our goal is to create an environment that stimulates you to want to know more, do more, get stronger, and have fun learning how.

SideYard started off as a single car garage gym in Middleton, Idaho in 2013. It was a way to help reach people who desired to be proactive about their health rather than reactive. Sharene, the owner, was an ICU nurse and saw day in and day out the repercussions of inactivity and poor nutrition either from lack of understanding or lack of opportunity to learn. Sharene found CrossFit in 2012 and fell in love with the mindset of nutrition, physical activity, and constant variance. She had previously tried the typical globo gym, personal training, online video fitness routes but would burn out on these repetitive and single focused activities . CrossFit challenged her in areas she felt she was strong or skilled in and constantly gave her new goals to strive for. She couldn’t help but want to share this opportunity with as many people as possible so she dove in head first to learn as much as she could as both a CrossFit athlete and as a coach. In 2019, Sharene decided to commit becoming a CrossFit affiliate and incorporate a full-time schedule as she expanded her space in the “sideyard” of her home. In February 2020 she was again able to move toward an even larger space to call home and bring on more coaches to both deepen the quality and quantity of what SideYard can offer. All of the coaches are committed to new learning opportunities, improving their skillsets and moving towards continuation of an amazing community of individuals who just want to be healthy, stay active, look and feel the way they want, and have fun doing it.

Morgan

Crossfit Level 1, Kids CrossFit

Hi I’m Morgan!  I’ve been married to my husband Jake for 7 years and am a proud mother of four wonderful kids.  I started CrossFit at SideYard about two and half years ago after a friend talked me into trying it.  I was a little intimidated at first but I soon found out what a supportive, welcoming, and energizing community SideYard is.  I loved being apart of it so much I decided to become a coach myself!  Through this journey I’ve come to appreciate all the things my body can and is capable of doing.  I also have my kids apart of the program as well!

Coach Amy

CrossFit Level 1

● Doing CrossFit since 2022
● CrossFit Level 1 Certification
● Ph.D. in Dry Humor
I love sharing my passion for CrossFit with others (but in a non-cultish way ). CrossFit has had an unbelievable impact on my mind and body; I no longer let age define or limit me. I’ve visited many CrossFit boxes while traveling. Trust me, we have dedicated and knowledgeable coaches who also care about our athletes on a personal level. Outside the gym, I’m a wife, mom of 6 (Brady Bunch), grandma of 7, an endurance race junkie (wanna do a race?!) who loves traveling, anything in the mountains, golf, and watching football. My favorite movements are barbells and burpees!

Coach Will

CrossFit Level 2

Will started with Crossfit in 2011 and participated in the first Open with only a few months of experience. That was the hook! Will got his L1 in 2018 then followed up with his L2 in 2021, first coaching in 2019, and started with Sideyard in Jan 2024. Will is committed to creating a supportive and positive experience within the CrossFit community. By focusing on positive reinforcement of movements and encouragement, Will helps members build confidence and develop a lifelong love of fitness.
Along with CFL2, he holds USAW L1 Olympic weightlifting, CF1 Nutrition, and Precision Nutrition Certification.
You can’t outwork a crappy diet. When not coaching or selling lasers, Will loves playing sports- basketball, soccer, racquetball, and softball are just a few. Currently, if you don’t find him in the gym, he is getting his butt kicked by senior citizens playing
pickleball.
● Favorite workout: Any couplet that involves short runs and a barbell.
● Currently trying to compete with Coach Amanda to see who has the most CF shoes

Nicolas Jayo

coach - CF-L1

I’m Nic Jayo, a CF-L1. I started CrossFit when I moved up to the area from Twin Falls in 2020. I fell in love with
it from day 1. Physical fitness and exercise has always been a big part of my life but a person can only do so
many bi and back days. The introduction to CrossFit for me was amazing. I enjoy what defines CrossFit:
constantly varied functional movements at a high intensity. The competitive nature of it is also a plus. BUT the
community is what really grabs me and what it’s been all about. I’ve met some amazing people and gained
many friends from my experience in this CrossFit world. I live that dog dad life with two golden retrievers. Every
day I strive to make them proud of me. I love being with my family and friends. I don’t do much of it but I really
enjoy traveling and camping. Don’t get me wrong I also enjoy and appreciate a lazy weekend on the couch to
recharge a bit! I am excited to be a part of the SideYard staff and community here in Middleton.
