We had the good fortune of connecting with Jessica and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jessica, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
We didn’t set out with the typical dream of owning a business—we were driven by the desire to protect something we loved. When CrossFit Tipping Point was at risk of closing, we realized we couldn’t imagine losing the incredible community that had become such a big part of our lives. The gym wasn’t just a place to work out—it was where people found strength, support, and connection.

So rather than watch it disappear, we made the leap and took ownership. Our thought process was simple: preserve the space that had given so much to so many, and grow it into something even better. We believed that with the right leadership and heart, we could not only keep the community alive but help it thrive—and that’s how CrossFit Peachtree Corners was born.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Our business is more than just a gym—it’s a community. At CrossFit Peachtree Corners, we focus on helping people become the strongest, healthiest versions of themselves, both physically and mentally. What sets us apart isn’t just the workouts; it’s the culture of support, accountability, and encouragement we’ve built. Every member is part of our family, and watching people push past limits, achieve goals they didn’t think possible, and grow in confidence is what makes me most proud.

Getting here hasn’t been easy. Like any business, we faced challenges but the key to overcoming those challenges has been persistence, listening to our members, and never losing sight of why we started: to make fitness accessible, fun, and transformative.

The lessons I’ve learned are countless, but the biggest ones are the value of community, resilience, and passion. Success isn’t just measured in numbers or PRs—it’s in the connections we build, the lives we impact, and the joy we create along the way.

What I want the world to know about CrossFit Peachtree Corners is that this isn’t just a place to work out—it’s a place to belong, to challenge yourself, and to grow. Our story is about showing up, pushing limits, supporting each other, and celebrating every victory, big or small.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to give a heartfelt shoutout to all the past and present members of CrossFit Peachtree Corners. I walked into the gym for the first time at 19 years old—unsure of who I was or who I wanted to become—and they welcomed me with open arms. Over the years, they’ve encouraged me, challenged me, taught me, and ultimately helped shape the person I am today. I’m incredibly grateful for this community.
