Lisa Levdansky
Founder
I began my fitness journey in 2010 as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer. By 2017, I found myself stuck behind a desk in a dead-end job, and I knew I wasn’t serving myself-or the world-the way I was meant to.
CrossFit had completely transformed my life. It kept me strong, resilient, and injury-free while I pursued my passion for Ironman and endurance trail running.
I knew I wanted to share that gift with others, so I took the leap into entrepreneurship and opened IronHawk CrossFit. I hold a CrossFit Level 2 certification, I’m currently studying for Level 3, and I’m also a certified Fit for Birth coach.
My mission is simple: to help people of all abilities build strength, confidence, and resilience-without gatekeeping, just guidance, support, and real results.

How long have you been doing CrossFit?
I started CrossFit in June of 2020, instantly falling in love with the sport and the community involved.
What got you started?
Growing up as a track and cross country runner, I joined a CrossFit Box in order to become a more well rounded athlete, wanting to focus on weightlifting alongside the running I was already doing.
What keeps you coming, and why coaching?
Since joining CrossFit, I have found that I feel stronger during all of the activities that I love to do, whether waterskiing, snowboarding, or hiking. I joined IronHawk CrossFit when I moved to Montana, quickly being welcomed into the community and pushed to become a better athlete from both the coaches and members. I wanted to coach in order to help others achieve their goals, whether it be to hit a heavier clean successfully and safely or be able to rip down the mountain on a snowboard all winter long. I love helping people push themselves everyday to be the best version of themselves possible.

How long have you been doing CrossFit?
In June of 2019, I saw an ad on Facebook for a 6 week challenge at a CrossFit gym. It was 1 am. I had never done CrossFit but wanted to be healthier and stronger. I was 5 months postpartum. I signed up and there started one of the best choices I will make for my life.
What got you started?
I showed up for a change in lifestyle, but with that I gained so much more. It wasn’t easy, actually it was down right hard at times, but I continued to show up. Want to know why? The COMMUNITY. I felt welcomed, I felt cared about, and I was pushed out of my comfort zone. It was exactly what I didn’t know I needed and what I will never be without again.
What made you want to continue, and be part of the IronHawk CrossFit team?
After 5 years of loving IronHawk and CrossFit as a whole, I wanted to become more involved! I love community, relationships, and event planning. Mix that with CrossFit and it is exactly where I feel I can give my heart and be myself all while helping an amazing gym thrive, along with the members. I’m proud to be a part of IronHawk CrossFit ❤️.

How long have you been doing CrossFit?
Started July of 2019.
What got you started?
I had been looking into CrossFit for quite awhile, but had this idea that it was only for super athletic and fit people, and I didn’t fit either of those categories. I was 40# overweight, couldn’t run a mile, and didn’t understand any of the lingo. One day I saw an ad for IronHawk on Facebook and decided to just go in for an intro to see what would happen. I was about 4 months away from my wedding and really wanted to lose some weight before the big day, and nothing else had been working. I was totally hooked after that first workout and never looked back.
What made you want to continue, and be part of the IronHawk CrossFit team?
I saw huge changes in my body within the first few months of joining and a huge mental shift. I never had the motivation to workout by myself, or finish a workout if I was by myself when they got hard. Being at a CrossFit gym really gave me the push that I never knew I needed. You are surrounded by people who are working hard no matter what their skill levels are. The idea that someone who can’t do a pull up or run a mile, or is 40# overweight, people showing up to work on themselves is so motivating to me. I’ve found I’m very competitive with who I was last year and find so much joy in improving my weight lifting skills and gymnastics every day. I decided to join the IronHawk team because I love getting to know different people that I would never interact with in my normal life. I’ve been able to find what pushes me to be better, and I want to help other people find what makes them great and show them how to use that to get where they are headed in life.
