Emily Kiger

I was introduced to CrossFit in 2013 and never looked back! I started coaching after getting my L1 in 2020; I will be obtaining my L2 later this year. I have played sports my entire life (started at 3 because they needed my dad to coach the local T-ball team). Outside of the gym, I have a full time job as a Peds RN at Duke, I volunteer at the Urban Ministries Health Clinic in Raleigh, and I am a wife/mother/grandmother/dog mom (I have 3 rescue dogs). I think CrossFit is so sustainable for me because it’s constantly varied and I’m always learning new things. I love coffee and my favorite food is PIZZA.

I knew for quite a while that I wanted to coach and I already loved helping and supporting other athletes.  When COVID happened I used the opportunity to get my L1 and subsequently started coaching at TTG.

My favorite movements are OHS and cleans, but my favorite movement to COACH is the split jerk. The truth is my Passion for helping others in life and in the gym is what fueled me to start coaching! I am known for Cheering everyone on and celebrating members’ achievements LOUDLY!
