About Us

We believe in seeking constant improvement, to be better than yesterday.

CrossFit Pisgah exists to make a positive difference in people's lives and our community. We use health, wellness, challenge, accountability, coaching, shared adversity, friendship, and fun to accomplish this goal. We strive to be comfortable being uncomfortable and to “do hard things.” We know this makes us more resilient, more powerful, and better able to serve others.

Thank you for being here to learn more about us. We hope you will visit a class, drop by to say hello, join our social media community, or join us in seeking to forge a better world through self-improvement.

 

“Pisgah is way more than a gym to me. It’s a lifestyle, a community, lifelong friends, a support group, a place I call home.”

  • Domonique

    I started CrossFit in 2014, I tried it for the first time with my dad on a Saturday morning and signed up the next day. I earned my CF-L2 certification and have loved encouraging and inspiring other athletes to keep showing up for their future selves. Aside from coaching, I work full-time as a Pastry Chef, and I use CrossFit to balance out all the sweet treats. I enjoy hiking, bird watching, and exploring new cities. 

  • Holly

    Holly is a dedicated CrossFit coach who thrives on helping people unlock their full potential—both inside and outside the gym. She brings a deep passion for weightlifting, a love for movement, and a commitment to building strength in all its forms.

    Holly is an athlete at heart, balancing her coaching with her own pursuits—from running half marathons to spending time outdoors hiking, mountain biking, and exploring new trails. Her connection to the outdoors fuels her energy, resilience, and appreciation for pushing both mental and physical limits.

    Holly is driven, supportive, and energized by seeing others grow. Whether it’s perfecting a lift, conquering a new skill, or discovering confidence through fitness, she is committed to guiding every athlete on their journey with patience, positivity, and purpose.

  • Alissa

    I started CrossFit in 2016 and never looked back. I’m driven by pushing past limits—physically and mentally—and love helping others do the same. After earning my L1 in 2023, I’ve been coaching with a goal of earning my L3. Outside the gym, I run The Habit Edit, a 1:1 nutrition coaching business, train in Olympic lifting, and balance life with my 6-year-old daughter and a career in communications at Duke University.
