Sara Tumlin

A Hendersonville native, Sara joined CrossFit Hendersonville in February 2023. What started as a way to spend more time with her husband, Will, and “get more fit” turned into a gym rat with the desire to learn more and build a strong community.

Sara worked in the education world for 11 years at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. She loved teaching, building relationships, and watching the “light bulb” moments happen in the classroom.

It was easy for her to see the natural connection between teaching in the classroom and coaching in the gym. She became fascinated with the art of fitness and finding the balance of strength building while maintaining cardio endurance. A true nerd at heart, she got her L1 in February 2024.

“Go where you are celebrated—not merely tolerated” sums up the coaching mindset Sara strives to maintain for the athletes that show up every day. It’s important to her to celebrate the major milestones, the everyday efforts, and all that lies between. Taking time to work on your functional fitness through an avenue like CrossFit is too important not to be celebrated! More than anything, Sara loves that CrossFit is for everyone and it brings her true joy to watch people push their own limits.
