Meet Our Members — Tammy Brooks

Meet Tammy Brooks - a 4:15pm regular

How long have you been doing CrossFit?

I did CrossFit for 6 years, but after being out of it for 5 years it was like starting over. I was intimidated and nervous about showing up to CrossFit and giving my best when I knew my best would not compare. Then I found Protocol at the end of 2025, attended free classes to give it a try and discovered a gem! I knew I wanted to be part of the Protocol family and signed on as a member in January of 2026.

Many boxes are hyper-focused on times, weight, and RXing, but all of the coaches at Protocol want you to pull the best from you to make you stronger and healthier, mentally and physically. They achieve that because they care about each of us!

What do you enjoy about CrossFit?

There are so many reasons I look forward to getting to the gym! I love the challenge and working to meet goals. With the coaches being so knowledgeable, I trust them when they encourage me to lift a little heavier or squat a little lower. They keep you safe yet encourage you to be the best you can be!

I love seeing everyone! On the days I am not at the gym I truly miss my friends.

Working and getting a sweat in is refreshing but being able to work out with people who genuinely care about each other and encourage each other is a blessing!

Would you recommend CrossFit Protocol to other people?

We all have days in the gym that may feel like a great workout and others when we feel like we failed. CrossFit is designed for results through community. Protocol is the standard for just that: results and community. This is achieved through the coach’s knowledge and intentional building of relationships. It is evident of the hard work they put into making Protocol a family.

Protocol produces results from muscle to members because they care about people! Hanna and Ethan are the GOAT! Stay Salty!
