ACHIEVE YOUR FITNESS GOALS

Get Started Today for FREE! No Experience Necessary!

Have Questions? We've got the answers right here!

Super simple! Just click get started anywhere here on the page to book your free intro session where you’ll get to tour the gym & meet our coaches.

We will chat about your current situation and your fitness goals and determine if CrossFit Cygnus is a good fit for you.

When you start at CrossFit Cygnus, your fitness level will improve quickly, usually in the first 30 days. The key to see results is consistency and commitment over time so that’s why we recommend 3 classes per week as a start!

Yes! We provide guidance on eating right or sleeping well which can help maximize energy levels – getting YOU maximum results from your efforts.

Nope! Most of our members start just like you. We assess the current fitness level of each new member. Then our workouts are “universally scaled,” with a different version of each day’s workout designed for every level. As you level up you can take on more challenging variants of the workout if you desire.

We are a local, veteran-owned business built to make an impact on the health and fitness of Richmond and the surrounding area.

You’re not just a number here. We are well aware that joining a gym can be very intimidating so that’s why we made our gym different. We pride ourselves on a welcoming community that will support you and hold you accountable for your fitness goals!

If you’re a beginner and just starting out then 2-4 times per week will be enough to see results and allow you to adjust. You’ll be sore some days, so allow yourself recovery days between training sessions at first – over the course of the following months work up towards 5 days per week if you want to maximize!

We offer an exciting, challenging, and varied programming which keeps it fun! The workouts are published in advance. Some days are more strength-focused where we will focus on our lifts. Movements like barbell squats, kettlebell swings and some Olympic lifts will be included.

Each class is one hour long and led by qualified coaches. We always start together with a warm-up designed to activate the muscles being used in the workout. Typically, a weightlifting/strength building session is next, followed by a short high intensity workout. The coach will guide the group through every class with instruction and provide specific feedback to ensure proper form and technique of each movement. At the end of class, we will cool down together to accelerate recovery and reduce potential injury.

Ryan Modisette

Coach

Ryan is originally from Henderson, TX. He was first introduced to CrossFit in 2013 while a student at Texas A&M University. When he started, he had never touched a barbell and he had absolutely no experience with competitive sports. For him, CrossFit was a revolution. The community support he received from the local box there in College Station helped him overcome an eating disorder, and the coaching he received equipped him with fitness habits that have forever changed his life.

Since that initial encounter with CrossFit, Ryan has been an active participant of whichever local gym he was a member. Ryan and his wife moved to Richmond, KY in 2023, and joining the Cygnus family was one of the first decisions he made after the move. He obtained his CF L-1 in October 2023.

Ryan has degrees and certifications from Texas A&M University, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the University of Kentucky. Currently, he is completing a PhD at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He loves learning, and he is always looking for ways to improve as a coach.

Ryan is passionate about helping others on their fitness journeys and is happy to help members both in and out of the gym.

She’s grateful for that friend that pulled her into CrossFit and for the community she has found among Cygnus!

Aside from the gym, Kayla works in the field of nursing. She holds a Master of Science in Nursing from EKU as a Family Nurse Practitioner. She loves to help people in all aspects of their health!

CLARK LAWSON

Head Coach

Clark Lawson was raised in rural LaFollette, TN and moved to Richmond, KY in August of 2020. He currently attends Eastern Kentucky University and serves as our Head Coach.

Clark started CrossFit when he was 11 years old as a means of weight loss and furthering his health. Growing up, he was overweight and though he had always been active in sports, never found anything that stuck. That was until CrossFit. He reluctantly began attending classes and eventually lost an incredible 60 pounds, consequently falling in love with the sport.

He has competed at 3 national level Olympic weightlifting events, placing top 5 in all three, holds several state records, competed collegiately at Mars Hill University for Olympic weightlifting, and also qualified and competed at the 2024 TYR Wodapalooza in the teen division.

Clark joined CrossFit Cygnus in August of 2020 and began working in July of 2021 as the Senior Barbell Technician. Fueled by a love of the sport and a heart to help others, he started his journey to coaching on the floor from there. He now holds a plethora of certifications such as: CrossFit L1, USAW L1, Burgener Strength L1, and many more CrossFit Licensed CEUs. While at Mars Hill University, he started/directed his own non-profit affiliate, Mars Hill CrossFit, from the ground up. He also spent his time serving a Strength and Conditioning internship at the university as well. Clark loves the methodology of CrossFit and has seen it work firsthand, not only in his life but also in the lives of those he has coached. He is excited for his role here at CrossFit Cygnus!

Mary Plowman

Registered Dietitian

Mary is originally from Irvine, KY and went to college locally at Eastern Kentucky University. Mary graduated in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in General Dietetics and is currently pursuing her master’s degree in Kinesiology and Health Promotion. Mary has been working as a Registered Dietitian at a local major hospital since 2019, and she joined the staff as our Nutrition Coach in January of 2022. Mary and her fiancé Roberto (one of our coaches!) actually met at the gym and live here in Richmond with their many pets.

Mary was very active growing up and played several competitive sports, but she found it difficult to stick to a fitness routine as an adult going to traditional gyms. In 2021, Mary tried a class at CrossFit Cygnus and was hooked – the programming, coaching, and atmosphere made it easy to want to come back every day.
As our Nutrition Coach, she leads quarterly group nutrition challenges, teaches group nutrition classes, provides 1:1 individual coaching, and conducts our body composition testing. Mary is a habit-based nutrition coach and is passionate about making nutrition low-maintenance and easy to understand.

Shauna Rogers

COACH

How did I find CrossFit and why did I stay? I would like to boast that I have always led an active and fit lifestyle, but that would not be true. My fitness journey began later in life when I was 39. I had 2 small children, 8 and 6, I was 50 pounds overweight, depressed, and in the absolute worst health of my life. I knew I needed to change. So, I tried all the fitness kinds, the dance kind, the biking kind, the bootcamp kind.  All those were great but they didn’t provide what I needed.

Three years later the gym I was a member of started doing a class I loved. I had no idea it had a name. We did cardio and used barbells and all I knew was that I loved the way I felt after I did the workouts. It was CrossFit. In the past 8 years CrossFit has kept me active, helped me lose 50 pounds, twice. (Yes twice, that’s a story to ask me if interested), gave me a community that holds me accountable and cheers for me when I succeed. I’m a true believer in the methodology of CrossFit beyond just losing weight. I’m talking about functional fitness and how food plays such an intricate part in fitness and the way our body performs and I want to share it.

Fast forward: I’ve been coaching the CrossFit methodology for 5 years and became Level 2 in 2021. I’m always interested in learning ways to help CrossFit athletes be successful whether it’s competing or being able to live unassisted as long as possible. It truly is for everyone.

When her second child was six months old, she joined a local gym and while she enjoyed it for several years, she felt like something was missing. She tried CrossFit for the first time at CrossFit Cygnus in December 2020 and was immediately hooked!

Marie earned her CF-L1 in September 2022 and began coaching in June 2023. As a busy working wife and mama who lives with chronic autoimmune health conditions and has several past injuries, she fully believes in the methodology of CrossFit and has personally experienced and seen that CrossFit is for absolutely everyone!
