Coach & Owner, Brian Holmes

Brian’s Story

Brian is a graduate of St. X High School and has a bachelors degree in Business. He served 20 years in the US Army Reserve, 8 of that on Active Duty, including multiple state side mobs and 1 deployment overseas. He is married and has 2 kids.

Brian found CrossFit while training MMA. He finished his fighting career at 6-1 with one title. CrossFit was his conditioning tool for MMA training. As he got older and multiple injuries he was drawn to the CrossFit lifestyle rather than MMA.

He has been coaching CrossFit for over 5 years. His passion and dedication to his athletes’ goals is what drives him. He only wants the best for his clients and, most importantly, he wants his clients to perform movements safely to help reduce injury.

Quote from Brian

I feel that my family and I are set to do something very special at Fern Creek CrossFit. If this is something you think you may be interested in please reach out to me or just stop by! I love to talk CrossFit and discuss what your goals are over the phone or in person. I look forward to watching some great workouts and having a few beers after!
