Our Mission

We’re here to coach hard classes and help you get stronger in a room where people show up for each other. That’s the job.

First pull-up or chasing a competition? Dealing with an old injury or just trying to train more consistently? You’ll get scaled and coached either way.

The people behind DFX

Meet the Owners

DFX is owned and run by Drew and Jenny Anderson, a Raleigh family who built this gym around hard work and community.

From Pro Baseball to CrossFit

Jenny and Drew have been doing CrossFit since 2007. Drew played baseball at Ohio State and was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in 2004. He played seven pro seasons, was a two-time Southern League All-Star, and went on to compete at CrossFit Regionals four times, twice on a team and twice as an individual. Those years showed him what a room full of people working toward the same goal can do for each other.

Built From a Love of Training

Drew's love of CrossFit and his years as a pro athlete led him to create DiamondFit Performance in 2010. He wanted athletes to have the best opportunities to train and reach their goals, and that still drives everything he does. That same idea led him to help create Raleigh Well, a wellness space in our building that specializes in athlete optimization and longevity.

Coaching at Every Level

Drew is a consultant for Major League Baseball (MLB). He coaches at PRO5 Baseball Academy and is the middle infield coach for the Canes National 17U team. He trains high-level athletes year-round and runs camps internationally, including in India, Japan, the Czech Republic, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. For about the last decade, Drew and Jenny have led sports performance training for some of the best athletes in the country through DiamondFit Performance, the youth sports training gym that shares our building with DFX.

Our Family

We're Drew and Jenny, and we run DFX together. Jenny spent nearly 15 years in tech and business development. We both lost a parent too early, and it taught us how much it matters to take care of yourself and invest in a long, healthy life. So we built a gym where anyone, at any fitness level, can walk in, trust the process, and find a community that pushes each other to be well. We're raising three competitive athletes, and you'll often find Drew on a ladder fixing something around the gym.
