We’re building over here - building our muscles, building to a more mobile future, building a healthier tomorrow 💪🏽
Nothing in the gym comes for free, but once you realize how important it is to keep yourself healthy and active - it’s worth building to!!!
Come see what we’re about at Cottontown CrossFit - your first class is free!

🚨New Coach Alert🚨
We are SO excited to welcome our newest coach Tyler to the CTC fam! Everyone give Tyler a warm welcome in the comments!
Tyler grew up in Louisiana and moved to Columbia on a whim in 2015 and (thanks to his wonderful husband) has not left since! He joined Cottontown in 2019, with no prior workout experience, and has grown to love CrossFit so much, he’s now a coach!
Fun facts:
🍼 New Dad to our favorite little assistant coach (although he does nap on the job a lot)
🌸 #1 Swiftie - we’ve made him promise not to play Reputation on repeat (unless requested)
🐶 Loves dachshunds, board games, and The Sims
💰With a masters in Forensic Accounting - by day, he works in Financial Crime Enforcement
🏋️ Tyler’s favorite class to coach is the Saturday AM partner WOD. He says you can get creative with the coaching, and see all your friends you missed throughout the week!
✅ Tyler’s Favorite CrossFit Movements: Deadlifts, squat cleans, & anything on the rig
❌ Tyler’s Least Favorite CrossFit Movements: Running, burpees, burpees over boxes, burpees over barbells….. can you see the theme? Cardio is a no go for this guy.
We’re so happy to have you Tyler!
