Coach Finalist: Daniel Hartley

Box: CrossFit Pisgah (North Carolina)

Nominated by: Hilary Parham

Nomination Testimonial: “I would like to nominate my coach Daniel Hartley. He not only coaches classes at our gym but personally programs 24 competitors and 5 competitive weightlifters. I see some coaches frequently, but if there’s ever a coach you can count on to always be there, it’s him. I’m wondering if he actually lives there!  In working with him the past year alone, he’s added 30 pounds to all of my Olympic lifts. All thanks to him, I have great form in CrossFit. If you have the wrong form, he won’t hesitate to tell you to go down in weight. He believes form is everything to stop injury. He always pushes all of us as athletes, even our regular class members. Not only has our competitor team grown and succeeded at our goals, but the regular class members that couldn’t even do a pull up when they started now take pride in performing sets of butterfly pull ups thanks to him. He has made our gym stronger as a whole while trying to make time to train himself. He recently won a strongman competition. Like I said, he never takes days off. He’s there every day, all day, even if someone walks in and wants to train at 9 pm, he stays. I personally want to thank him for pushing me & our gym & making us stronger mentally and physically. Thanks Dan!”
