CF-L1 Trainer | CrossFit FirePit
Born and raised in Greensboro, NC, Coach Jack Yancey has been an athlete most of his life. In high school, Jack competed as a quarterback and multi-event track athlete, racing the 100m, 200m and 400m while also competing in the pole vault. But Jack’s fitness story didn’t end when high school sports did. ABOUT COACH At 38, Jack made himself a promise: Get into the best shape of his life by age 40. In 2012, he discovered CrossFit—and that decision changed everything. He reached his goal, discovered a new passion for training, and never looked back. Jack has trained consistently in CrossFit ever since.
FINDING THE FIREPIT: During the pandemic, Jack kept training at home, but something was missing: In 2022, he walked through the doors of CrossFit FirePit and found exactly what he had been looking for—a place to train hard, challenge himself, build friendships, and be surrounded by people pushing one another to become better. That connection eventually led Jack to take the next step from athlete to coach.
Jack is passionate about helping athletes become stronger, more confident, and more capable—regardless of where they are in their fitness journey. His coaching philosophy puts a strong emphasis on: QUALITY MOVEMENT • PROPER TECHNIQUE • HIGH STANDARDS • SAFETY • CONSISTENT PROGRESS Jack believes great coaching isn't simply about making a workout harder. It's about helping each athlete move better, understand the movements, train safely, and get the most out of every class.
