About us
What Burn Pit Performance and Athletics is all about.
Pray. Sweat. Enjoy.
Every class is coach-led, and every workout can be scaled to your experience and ability. Coaches meet athletes where they are, then challenge them to grow — whether it's a first squat or a new PR.
Why we train, not just how hard
We’re a strength and conditioning gym in Fayetteville, North Carolina, built around intelligent training, quality coaching and a strong community. Good training should be challenging, purposeful and sustainable.
What training looks like here
CrossFit classes are the backbone. Strength, conditioning, gymnastics and functional movement, coach-led, scaled to you. First time in a CrossFit gym or years into it, you’ll be challenged at your level.
Burn Pit Barbell Club is dedicated barbell time. Olympic lifting and strength development, focused coaching and structured training — sharpen technique, lift heavier, make consistent progress.
Healthy Kids builds strength, coordination, confidence and healthy movement habits through age-appropriate workouts and games. Work hard, move well, have fun.
The aim across all of it is the same: progress you can see, feel and carry with you wherever life takes you.
