functional fitness and community are vital to the well-being of all.

The community and camaraderie of the members and coaches make it more than just a gym. I joined shortly after moving to Winston and have enjoyed connecting with people who share similar values.

As a licensed Physical Therapist, I enjoy playing a role in helping members to become the best version of themselves in and out of the gym, all while helping them feel good.

I'm currently working on Olympic lifting and gymnastics skills. Coming from a more traditional weightlifting background, these have been a welcomed challenge.

The people and the environment. When I first moved to Winston-Salem I didn't know anyone, and finding a gym was a huge priority for me. The day after I had everything unpacked I walked into Top Tier and was warmly welcomed by Ben and Melissa. From that point on, the coaching staff treated me like family. Shortly after, I did a competition with coach Chris (we won) and began connecting with other people around the gym. What I love most is that Top Tier really fosters a community that cares for one another and genuinely wants everyone to succeed. This environment makes pursuing my passion for fitness very easy, it pushes me when I need it, and has my back when I fail.

I fell in love with fitness in high school which really changed my life, and being able to share that with others is truly special. I love seeing others achieve their long term fitness goals and encouraging a room full of people in the home stretch of a workout. Both make me feel like we are all winning the World Series, and it is a feeling that I wouldn't trade for anything.

Qualify for Wodapalooza with coach Stefan and coach Chris, qualify for the CrossFit Games semifinals, and always leaving the gym better then when I walked in.

Our community is very supportive of one another, and the programming is very well done. I’ve been CrossFitting for about 10 years and Top Tier continues to exceed my expectations!

I love being able to talk to each member individually and get to know everyone, including their goals inside the gym but also who they are outside and in our Winston-Salem community!

Make it to the gym 5x per week and drink at least 6 cups of water every day!

The community! The shared suffering in workouts does something to bond people. We go through all parts of life together too; births, marriages, loss, grief, successes, illness, healing, and more.

Seeing the progress in members' confidence in their movement in the gym. Seeing them achieve goals and find new ones they never even knew they could or would want to aim for. Watching the light ignite as they find their own way and power as an athlete

Healthy pregnancy and overall strength/health for life so that I can keep moving the way I want in and out of the gym without pain/injury!

I love the joking banter amongst the people.

I love guiding someone to accomplish something they did not think they could do but set out to achieve anyways.

Be bigger, faster, stronger.
