Deb Ragland
RTCF Owner, CrossFit Level 2, Trainer, Judges Course / Spot The Flaw

I have been in and out of the fitness field for the last 40 years as I raised my family. Back in the old days, I was an aerobics instructor when Madonna and High Impact were popular! You can come to me for all your fashion advice for fitness in the 80’s! A while back I was a personal trainer with The Rush fitness complex.

Now, I’m a certified L2 CrossFit Trainer, although out on the floor leading a class is not likely where you’ll find me. I’m the Owner and Manager of Rocky Top and I love my job! I love working with our coaches and talking with and getting to know all of our members. I am always here to help if you need anything!

I love seeing people embrace a healthy lifestyle and I’m here to tell those there who are close to my age, that age is just a number. Start from where you are today. Fitness is for all ages. You just have to believe that and take the first step!

Taylor Comford
Coach, 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!

Caleb Forsyth

General Manager, CrossFit-L2

Hello everyone! I started CrossFit when I was just 12 years old and haven’t stopped since. Through CrossFit, I discovered a passion for health and fitness that has kept me constantly learning and coaching to help people achieve their goals and find the same joy in fitness that I have.

Rocky Top CrossFit has allowed me to continue coaching and sharing this passion since graduating from the University of Tennessee (GO VOLS!). It is a joy and an honor to serve as the GM and to help us be the best gym we can be!

You can find me at the front desk or on the class floor. I’m always happy to chat, so come say hey!

Maggie Tincher
Head Coach, 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 (VA) to help firefighters and 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.

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 in any way I can. 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.
