Brooke’s love of functional fitness and coaching stemmed from her long and continuing career as an athlete. When training, she was always curious about why we move the way we do, and why we train the way we train. Brooke came to the conclusion that just as every movement serves a purpose in sports, training for overall health and longevity still requires purposeful and intentional movements. Brooke’s interest in specializing in women’s fitness is inspired by the great women in her life, including her mom and closest friends. As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Brooke understands the importance of strength training for women, and wants to help empower women to be the best and strongest versions of themselves, so that they can continue to do the things they enjoy in life for a long time. She loves helping women get stronger and healthier so they can feel more confident and independent. When Brooke is not coaching, you will likely find her rowing, playing volleyball, learning to do a new craft, or …rowing again.
