Bruce’s Story
Meet Bruce Hardin, a passionate and dedicated CrossFit coach who is committed to helping his clients achieve their fitness goals and improve their mental and physical health.
Bruce’s journey with CrossFit began in November of 2019, after years of being a skateboarding enthusiast and watching CrossFit competitions with interest. When he got sober in May of that year, he decided to try CrossFit for himself, and quickly fell in love with the challenging workouts and supportive community.
Even when the pandemic forced his gym to close down, Bruce stayed committed to his fitness journey, doing the posted workouts at home six days a week. When he joined Fern Creek CrossFit in June of 2020, he was welcomed with open arms and immediately felt at home in the supportive community.
Bruce’s dedication to CrossFit goes beyond his own personal fitness journey, however. He is a Level 2 Construction Inspector with a Bachelor’s degree in Management, and has been a professional photographer in Louisville since 2006. He is also a father of three children and volunteers at Sunrise Boys Home in Mt. Washington, teaching young men about the importance of fitness and overcoming life’s challenges.
One of the things that sets Bruce apart as a coach is his deep understanding of the mental and emotional benefits of CrossFit. As someone who has struggled with addiction and has been in recovery since 2019, he knows firsthand the importance of taking care of one’s mental health as well as physical health. He has found that CrossFit has been a powerful tool for managing stress and anxiety, building confidence, and staying focused on his recovery journey.
As a coach, Bruce is passionate about helping others to experience the same mental and emotional benefits of CrossFit that he has. He is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for his clients to explore their own mental and physical potential, and is dedicated to helping them achieve their fitness goals while improving their overall well-being.
