Zack and Tammy 

Creating Phalanx CrossFit has been a labor of love for Zack, Tammy, and their families. The concept originated during a family dinner conversation, and the training plan followed shortly after.  Zack, Tammy, and their families believe in the ideals that the phalanx represents.

Zack and Tammy have a passion for programming, coaching, and training, and their goal at Phalanx CrossFit is to foster a positive training environment with unparalleled coaching where everyone is:
- comfortable being uncomfortable;
- willing to try new things and fail and try again;
- eager to improve and encourage others as they improve;
- in love with the challenge and excited about pushing themselves.
