About CFE’s Leadership Team
Shanna Duvall - Co-Founder
Shanna has been participating in various fundraisers and fitness events for over twenty years. She is passionate about providing an outlet for community-based activities that promote healthy lifestyles.
The growing popularity of the CrossFit Games presents a new paradigm for what defines “fitness” to the masses. Shanna decided to ride the idea of “exercise for time” to bring communities together with more opportunities than simply run/walk/bike events or cookie/candy bars/bake sales for traditional fundraising.
Shanna appreciates the surge of energy experienced while facing challenges with others. The group energy inspires a positive, supportive environment ideal for achieving new feats of strength & acceptance for discomfort. She appreciates the challenge and self-growth that comes with each experience.
Shanna strives to create fun & exciting event atmospheres welcoming to individuals who may not consider themselves “competitors”, while still challenging those who know they love competitive activities.
Shanna resides in Asheville, NC with her husband Corey and their two dogs. Shanna & Corey are also the co-owners of CrossFit Asheville and the Stay Active Clinic. You can also follow Shanna on tumblr HERE.

“If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” - Michael Jordan
Corey Duvall - Co-Founder
“Perfection of human movement is both my passion and my career. The display of control and grace under conditions of duress are what allows for both injury prevention and athletic dominance. Your fitness and life goals, whatever they may be, are achieved through the pursuit of perfection. To do this in a supportive community atmosphere, such as CrossFit Asheville, is powerful, inspiring, and successful. It is my desire to help you fulfill the mantra: Just Be Awesome.”
