If I understand right your code you load plist file only in viewDidLoad, but most likely this function called only when you first time load your view. To make it work you should load plist in viewDidAppear. Something like this:

- (void)viewDidAppear {
  NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
  NSURL *plistURL = [bundle URLForResource:@"CrossfitWOD" withExtension:@"plist"];
//put the contents of the plist into a NSDictionary, and then into names instance variable
NSDictionary *dictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfURL:plistURL];
self.names = dictionary;
//take all the keys in the dictionary and make an array out of those key names
self.keys = [self.names allKeys];

for (NSString *nameCheck in keys){
    self.details = [names valueForKey:nameCheck];
    if ([[self.details valueForKey:@"Type"] isEqualToString:@"The Benchmark Girls"]) {
        [buildBenchmarkGirls addObject:nameCheck];
    }else if ([[self.details valueForKey:@"Type"] isEqualToString:@"The New Girls"]) {
        [buildTheNewGirls addObject:nameCheck];
    }else {
        [buildHeroes addObject:nameCheck];
    }
}

NSString *filePath = [self dataFilePath];
NSMutableDictionary *savedWorkout = [[NSMutableDictionary         alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
self.savedNames = savedWorkout;
self.savedDFGWorkouts = [[savedWorkout allKeys]     sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(compare:)];

 [self.tableView reloadData];

}
