Coaches who see the whole person.

Casey discovered functional fitness in 2015 while training to improve her soccer and lacrosse performance. She began coaching in New Jersey and joined Nomad in 2018.

Her favorite moments are the ones when an athlete realizes they can do something they once thought was out of reach. Away from the gym, she loves good coffee, surfing and Mexican food.

After growing up with soccer and basketball, Amy moved to Charleston to study Exercise Science. A hesitant first functional-fitness class became the challenge and outlet she had been missing.

She coaches to help others experience the confidence, camaraderie and strength she found here. Outside Nomad, she studies acupuncture, spends time at the beach and adventures with her dog, Squash.

Brian found functional fitness after asking a workplace trainer how to improve the workouts he was creating for himself. One nearby class was enough to hook him.

He coaches because he enjoys knowing members beyond the whiteboard and helping them find the right path early. Outside the gym, Brian enjoys surfing, barbecue and making small CNC projects and keepsakes.

A lifelong soccer and lacrosse athlete, Mike played Division I soccer at Fordham University before weightlifting led him into functional fitness. He has trained and competed for more than eight years.

Mike moved to Charleston in 2024 and loves giving athletes practical ways to approach a workout. Away from coaching, he is usually boating, fishing, at the beach or exploring Charleston’s food scene.

Kelly joined the community in 2019 and became known for determination, consistency and an eagerness to keep learning. She now brings that same perspective to the coaching floor—meeting members where they are and helping them keep moving forward.

Josh discovered functional fitness in 2015 after enrolling his children in a youth program at Nomad. As a lifelong paddlesports athlete, he saw how strength, mobility and injury resistance could support a bigger life outside the gym.

His background includes designing national paddlesports curricula and teaching coaches around the world. At Nomad, he brings that same curiosity and clarity to every athlete he works with.

Lilith found functional training while in nursing school after illness had kept her from participating in sports growing up. For the first time, fitness became about what her body could do—not what it looked like.

After working as a travel nurse, she moved to Charleston in 2024 and found a deeper sense of community at Nomad. Coaching gives her a place for lightness, connection and joy outside the demands of nursing.

Ben’s coaching grew from sport, injury and adaptation. When a shoulder injury ended his collegiate baseball career, he shifted toward rehabilitation, founded his college rugby team and began helping others rebuild.

He has coached functional fitness since 2008 and works across Olympic weightlifting, massage therapy and Body Tempering. His focus is thoughtful preparation, quality movement and durable performance.
