(CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman and CFMO Coach Mike Garrett)
I started doing CrossFit in 2007, following a conversation with my brother-in-law who had been training with the Navy SEALs. My brother-in-law told me about how some of the SEAL Teams were using CrossFit as part of their training regimen. This was my first exposure to CrossFit, and looking back now, I had no idea how this conversation would positively impact my life and the lives of many people around me. After getting CrossFit Level 1 Certified and trying the workouts, I was hooked. So much so that I knew I wanted to help work at a CrossFit affiliate and share my knowledge and experience. Now my passion in life is to share my enthusiasm for a healthy and fulfilling life with as many people as possible!
Lead Instructor-Brooks Garrett
I started CrossFit in 2009 when I met my husband, Mike. I am a physical education teacher and I thought I was in shape until he introduced me to a “real” workout and I was hooked. I currently teach Health/Physical Education at Wayne Community College. I am also CrossFit Level 1 Certified. I enjoy teaching and training at CrossFit Mt. Olive and I hope to share my passion for fitness and helping others with as many people as possible.

Coach-Joey Murphy (photo-Joey far right)
Hello Crossfitters! I’m Joey Murphy at CrossFit Mount Olive. I am a senior at Mount Olive College majoring in Recreation and Leisure Studies with an emphasis on Exercise Science, and will be graduating in May with my Bachelors of Science degree. Before arriving to Mount Olive I grew up in Mims, FL and attended Astronaut High school, where I was a letterman in both track and football. I have been at MOC for four years now and while attending, have been a part of the Mount Olive College Track & Field program where I have earned numerous honors such as field athlete of the year, first team all conference, conference champion (individual), first team all region, and been a part of the conference champion team last season. Along with being part of MOC athletics I have also coached football for the Mount Olive hurricanes 11-12 year old age group for the past four years. Being a part of these two great programs within Mount Olive I have met many great people and I know working here will lead to meeting many more. I look forward to this great learning experience and I’m excited to get to work in the field that I love so much!

Coach- Megan Houk (Starting May 2012)
Hey all! My name is Megan Houk but you can call me BUBLS 
I grew up in NY and then attended the Univ of Maryland, College Park where I got degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice. Afterward, I earned my commission as an officer in the US Air Force. I’ve been stationed in Texas, South Korea, Iraq and now NC. I started Crossfitting during my deployment in Iraq and was introduced to a Fight Gone Bad challenge (now my favorite WOD) – it kicked my butt and I’ve been addicted ever since! I particularly enjoy the fact that there’s always another level to push yourself to and there’s always something new to learn. I love teaching and hope that I can get everyone around me as excited about CF as I am!
