About Us

Elizabeth serves as our Head Coach and General Manager for Yellowhammer Crossfit, bringing 13 years of CrossFit experience and 8 years of coaching excellence to the team. She fully believes CrossFit is the prescription for a better, more holistic life—transforming the hours spent in the gym into greater strength, resilience, and wellness outside of it.

Elizabeth loves a good WOD with barbell and kettlebell movements, but appreciates the need for cardio to be in the mix. She is passionate about cultivating a supportive, accountable, and celebratory community for her athletes. She lives by the quote “If you can't fly, then run; if you can't run then walk; if you can't walk, then crawl; but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” - MLK Jr

Elizabeth’s personal goal for the year is to finally get that muscle up, but has bigger goals for the gym to continue along our path of inclusivity, accountability, and fitness for all.

Outside the gym, Elizabeth is a dedicated mother to two active boys, and has been married to her husband John for over two decades. When not in the gym or cheering on the team at her kid’s sporting events, she enjoys spending time outdoors or immersing herself in a good book.

Marcus brings over 8 years of CrossFit experience and 5 years of coaching to our team, along with a deep passion for helping others move well and live fully. Marcus believes in the longevity and inclusivity of the methodology—emphasizing that when done right, CrossFit can support a high quality of life well into your later years.

He’s known for his love of burpees (yes, really!) and his ability to bring both grit and encouragement to every class. His approach is rooted in one core belief: “Move well, and everything else will take care of itself.”

Outside the gym, Marcus is a devoted husband and proud father of two. When he’s not coaching, you’ll likely find him in the woods or on the water—hunting, fishing, and soaking up life with gratitude and joy.

Marcus’s goal for the year is to inspire at least one person to love themselves enough to fall in love with fitness—a goal that perfectly reflects the heart he brings to this community.

Austin has been part of the CrossFit community for 10 years and coaching for 5, bringing both experience and intensity to every class he leads. Austin thrives on competition, and he leads by example in the way CrossFit delivers unmatched, well-rounded fitness.

He gravitates toward workouts with barbell cycling or rowing and brings that same energy to his coaching. His approach is rooted in consistency, patience, and celebrating progress—big or small. One of the best pieces of advice he carries with him (and passes on): “Take the small wins. Don’t try to do too much too fast.”

Outside the gym, Austin serves as a full-time police officer and has been happily married for nearly three years. His goal for this year is to step onto the competition floor and become the fittest he’s ever been—something we have no doubt he’ll accomplish.

Taylor brings nearly 10 years of CrossFit experience and over 5 years of coaching to the Yellowhammer CrossFit team. With a deep commitment to consistency, she helps athletes of all levels find their rhythm, improve their movement, and stay motivated over time.

What keeps her coming back for more? The variety, the intensity, and the way each workout pushes her to grow, year after year. Taylor especially enjoys workouts with cardio elements but doesn’t shy away from a heavy barbell.

She’s known for her steady, supportive coaching style and for reminding athletes that real progress is built through consistency—not perfection. When you train with Taylor, you’ll be met with calm encouragement, smart cues, and a quiet confidence that reflects her own journey with the sport.

Rob brings over 12 years of training under his belt and 10 years coaching, he’s known for his deep knowledge, and the way he keeps things approachable for athletes at any level.

Rob is drawn to the constantly varied nature of CrossFit and the powerful community that surrounds it. For him, workouts are not just about fitness—they’re about connection. His favorite movement to see in a WOD? Double unders.

When he’s not in the gym, you’ll find him spending quality time with his new wife or growing his practice as an attorney. He balances his professional career and coaching with focus, commitment and a passion for helping others succeed.

Whether you're new to the gym or a longtime member, Rob’s coaching brings a grounded, encouraging presence that reminds everyone why they keep coming back.
