Meet The Team

Stef Cowles

​

Owner and Head Coach

​

The “Resident Drama Queen”, Stef is a mom of 3 who wears an obnoxious amount of pink and never says no to French fries or a heavy barbell to squat. She’s never been athletic and considers “running” to be a 4 letter word, but 10 years ago she got tired of not being able to keep up with her crazy kids and started her fitness journey working out at home. She walked into CrossFit Condor in the summer of 2016 and now she owns the place! CrossFit has taught her to focus more on what her body can do, rather than just how it looks, and she truly believes that if she can change her life with fitness, anyone can. Her favorite things are dancing in the background of classes, reading constantly, and teaching women the power in picking up a barbell. Being able to show others how capable they are sets her glittery soul on fire.

Tim Swisher

​

Coach

​

Tim tried a CrossFit class looking for something to supplement his Obstacle Course Racing and running habits.  Before the class was over, he knew there was about to be a shift in his fitness priorities.  After a few years he decided to take the Level 1 Course to be a coach and when the opportunity opened up to be an owner of Condor, it was an easy decision.  You’ll find him in the early morning hours trying to defy his age, unsuccessfully, and usually throwing sarcasm at someone.

Krysty Tamanini

​

Coach

​

Krysty was first introduced to CrossFit in 2011 by one of her grad school classmates. Krysty fell in love with the barbell and lifting heavy. CrossFit soon became one of the most important parts of her life, training several hours a day and competing at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals with her team in 2014. More important than the competitive highs are the life-long friendships she has made within the various CrossFit communities she has attended. Krysty is excited to be coaching again and helping members to realize that they can do more than they think they can.

Briana Drapp

​

Briana is a physical therapist assistant and former collegiate rower who was dragged into CrossFit Condor one Saturday afternoon in 2018 by her dad, Brian, another member. After finding familiarity and community in the group exercise atmosphere, she embarked on a life-changing fitness journey with the motivation and support of her peers at CrossFit Condor. In comparison to collegiate rowing, where there are only 2 benchmark workouts to improve upon, CrossFit offered a variety of exercises to progress, master, and eventually implement into workouts. This variety, along with lifting heavy barbells, has been the key element in motivating Briana to continue doing CrossFit. Her background in physical therapy has brought great insights to CrossFit Condor to provide further education to members regarding their own anatomy and assist with exercise recovery. Outside of CrossFit, you will probably find Briana playing video games, eating pizza (with ranch!) or studying as she is #foreverinschool.
