Gym Happenings

Hey everyone,

Most of you by now have probably heard Coach Mark has an awesome opportunity to be a co-owner of another facility in town. Mark’s been at Pisgah since, basically, the beginning and has served our community in so many ways.

So, we’re thrilled he has this opportunity, but he will be focusing fully on that role and not coaching at Pisgah moving forward. I expect we’ll see Mark at the occasional Pisgah social or Saturday Community WOD, but he won’t be leading the Tuesday and Thursday classes he’s been recently owning.

Congrats, Mark, and thank you!!

We are, however, very excited to let folks know that we have brought on two new staffers to absorb these classes.

Jessica Tripp has been an amazing addition to our 5:30am classes for months. A physical therapist and experienced CrossFitter, Jessica has agreed to lead our 5:30am Tuesday classes starting tomorrow! We are so excited to have her expertise and energy with our early risers. Welcome, Jess!

Also, Cherie Montou is a trainer and longtime CrossFit coach. She will be taking on our Tuesday 12pm class starting in March. Cherie brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the community, and we feel super lucky to have the chance to add her to the schedule.

I hope everyone will find time to learn from our new coaches and meet them (if you haven’t already) and welcome them to the Pisgah family!

Have a great week, y’all…

Better Than Yesterday,

Ben
