Head Coach + Owner

Nikki Dofflemyer

Nikki began her relationship with CrossFit like most people. After retiring from a 25-year career in law enforcement here in West Volusia, she needed a change. That change came when she walked into a CrossFit box in Pennsylvania. Athlete Nikki quickly became Coach Nikki. Passionate about movement at all ages and stages of life, Nikki has experience in everything from managing exercise for pregnant and postpartum athletes to helping clients maintain their quality of life. As head coach, Nikki is constantly learning and expanding the toolboxes of the coaching staff to serve Berzerk’s members better.

"I always wanted the energy to keep up with my kids and grandkids. I watched Nikki do CrossFit for years and thought I would try it myself. It's the best decision I've ever made for myself and my family."

Stacey is our resident guru for everything 'people' – from memberships to mindset. Mom to seven and grandmother to two, Stacey is no stranger to logistics or management. If this gym had a heart, she would be smack dab in the middle of it. Stacey combines professional skills from Volusia County Corrections and half a decade in gym operations with a passion for the fitness community.

Lead Coach

Kara (Cummings) Guerrero

"We all have goals we want to accomplish in life. Moving our bodies and accomplishing goals in the gym primes us to take on challenges in our daily lives. My favorite part of coaching is helping others break through barriers."

Back in 2018, Kara walked into a CrossFit gym, fed up over having fallen off a monkey bar rig at a local obstacle course race. Three months later, she returned to conquer that obstacle. In that time, she fell in love with both the methodology and the community. From gymnastics and volleyball to triathlon today, she is a lifelong learner who loves helping athletes break through barriers.
