Tiffany Wilkerson

CF-L2
Head Coach

Tiffany grew up in the mountains of Northwest Montana and spent her days hunting, camping, playing softball and travelling with her competitive jump rope team (she swears it’s a real thing). She went to college in Wisconsin where she not only earned her BS in Integrative and Medical Biology but also earned Conference Player of the Year in softball and a school record and Conference Championship in the 4×400 relay in track and field. In 2008 she was so bored of the classic treadmill run + weight room routine and went searching for her next fitness endeavor, she found CrossFit and never looked back. She believes anyone can do CrossFit and that the consistent CrossFitter will reach levels of fitness they didn’t think were possible. She is as excited to teach you how to air squat as she is to teach you how to muscle up. Tiffany spends her time wrestling her two boys, watching too much MMA with her husband and geeking out on bio-hacking.

Coach Julie Murphy

Julie Murphy

Coach

Julie was born and raised in NW Missouri. She graduated high school and, knowing she wasn’t interested in college at the time, enlisted in the US Army. After spending 12 years on active duty as an Arabic linguist, during which she lived in South Carolina, California, Texas, Georgia, and Iraq, she medically retired and moved her family back to the KC area to be closer to her extended family. Having been first exposed to CrossFit in 2005 while deployed, she gave it a shot in 2013 and immediately fell in love with the barbell (not so much the cardio). You can find Julie in the gym in the afternoons and evening classes, either working on her own lifts and skills or helping others to develop their potentials. Being a natural teacher, she is passionate about seeing the “Aha” moment in an athlete’s eyes when something finally clicks. Knees out!
