Debbie Ragland - Owner & CrossFit Level 1 Trainer

Deb's, now that the kids are grown, is running the gym. So why own a gym now? Because at this stage of our lives there's no pressure. It's been about providing a quality gym for some really great people. And we are having a blast! We love meeting everyone that walks through the door and really hope we can help them find a home with us. And don't worry, we do have a background in the field and lots of life experience to bring to it, so you'll be in good hands. (Deb is actually a CF-L1 and former Personal Trainer and Group X instructor)

Taylor Comford - CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, PT, CSCS, & Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist

I have been doing CrossFit since 2017 where I found the love for the CrossFit methodology as a way of fitness and community health! I received my L1 in 2022 and started coaching soon after. If you’re a morning person I’m excited to wake up and start the day strong with you!  When I’m not at Rocky Top Crossfit I am working as a Sports Physio promoting health and injury recovery to the active community of Knoxville! 

Paige Marshall - CrossFit Level 1 Trainer

Caleb Forsyth - Head Coach, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer

I have been doing CrossFit for 10 years and have been coaching since my sophomore year of college. I came to Rocky Top CrossFit in my Freshman year and have loved both the gym and the community since! I love working with athletes to make sure they get the most out of each workout. When I’m not at the gym I enjoy playing hiking and playing music.

Jessica Gilchrist - CrossFit Level 1 Trainer & CF Kids

As a mother of two young girls, I am familiar with the challenges of making time for oneself and the physical changes that accompany middle age. At Rocky Top CrossFit, I am a coach for both children’s and adult classes, and it is my passion to share the terrific mental and physical benefits of functional fitness with athletes of all ages and abilities.

Katie Rogers - CrossFit Level 1 Trainer

Maggie Tincher - CF-L4, CrossFit Seminar Staff, CrossFit L1 Advisory Panel Member

I was introduced to CrossFit in 2005 when I was a firefighter for Fairfax County (Virginia) and I was instantly hooked. I got my CF-L1 the following year and became part of CrossFit Seminar Staff in 2007. 

In 2006 my husband and I opened CrossFit Fairfax (in VA) as a means of helping firefighters and the rest of our community improve their fitness and health. After almost a decade working as a firefighter, I left the Fire Department to become a full time coach/gym manager when we opened our second gym (CrossFit Reston) in 2010. In 2023, we decided to relocate to TN and, after 17 incredible and rewarding years operating our gyms, we made the hard decision to sell them. We are now enjoying this beautiful area and its amazing people.

CrossFit completely changed my life and being a coach gives me a constant opportunity to create change in someone's life and to  help them on their journey anyway I can. Coaching is my passion. I love helping athletes achieve their goals; empowering them to believe in themselves, unlocking their potential and witnessing their achievements not only in the gym, but in their lives.

Hi guys! My name is Brooke, and I am a L-2 certified coach at Rocky Top CrossFit. I have been training CrossFit for 5 years and coaching for 3 years, while competing in the sport off and on throughout. Some of my favorite classes to coach are the early morning classes, especially the 5:30am crew. They know how to bring the energy and start the day off right! Can't wait to see you in the gym!
