If you’re looking to get in shape or take your already crafted physique to the next level, look no further than Iron Gap CrossFit in Cumberland Gap. CrossFit is a fitness program that helps health enthusiasts produce measurable outcomes through lifestyle changes centered on effective training and nutrition. Workouts consist of varied, high-intensity, functional movements led by an experienced instructor.
Iron Gap CrossFit owners Tarrah and James Greenwell started the gym in May 2025 to meet the fitness needs of the people of Cumberland Gap and Claiborne County. It’s all the brainchild of Tarrah, who has been involved with CrossFit and fitness coaching for years. Now retired from the military, Tarrah is an accomplished competitor in the CrossFit Games and a semi-finals athlete ranked in the top percentage in the world. So, you can bet you’re in the best of hands when it comes to your fitness aspirations.
Tarrah has a true passion for CrossFit, seeing it as a means to boost not only physical health, but also mental health. Though she and James (who is a full-time paramedic for Claiborne County and volunteer fireman in Harrogate) had no intentions of opening a gym initially, they came across an opportunity they couldn’t pass up and jumped at the chance to provide a valuable service to their beloved community.
“She’s following her dream, and now she wants to share it with everybody,” James said. “Doing things in the community and just being a part of the community is huge for us, and Cumberland Gap is the most beautiful place in the world to us. So, to be able to promote CrossFit in a town like this with the space we have and share health with Appalachia in this way is just phenomenal.”
Iron Gap CrossFit is the first of its kind in Claiborne County, and the Greenwells are excited to share their love of fitness with their community. There are set class times, but the Greenwells have plans for open gym if you can’t make a class time.
