Trainers

IMCF's all-volunteer training staff is here to serve you. ALWAYS feel free to approach any of us for coaching assistance or general questions. Although we don't run formal classes like many CF affiliates, you can almost always find one of us in the Bubble or organizing small group sessions.

The bios and pics below are posted to help you track us down in the gym.

I am a retired infantry Soldier and began civilian service here at Fort Leavenworth in 2008 as a CGSC instructor. My journey in CrossFit started here in 2010. I appreciate the opportunity to participate in and share CrossFit with others.

Mark Monroe

I am a retired Marine working as a seminar leader contractor at the "Red Team" University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies. I discovered CrossFit in 2005 from an article in Outside magazine. The article described "Murph." I gave it a shot and was hooked. I co-founded Iron Major with Dave Maxwell in 2008.

Joe O’Donnell is a Canadian instructor on exchange in Fort Leavenworth who started CrossFit in 2012 at CrossFit Brandon but really cut his teeth at CrossFit Camp Eggers, a military affiliate in Kabul, Afghanistan. He competed provincially in the 2016 Strongman championship and used to compete in amateur powerlifting as well. He has recently switched his attention to Brazilian Jiu jitsu. He got the majority of his coaching “reps” in at CrossFit Grand Battery - a Canadian military affiliate that he started in 2018.

Brandie Wempe

After trying CrossFit, I discovered that it was exactly what I was missing in my fitness journey. Unlike my other workouts, CrossFit incorporated constantly varied movements and multiple physical skills into high-intensity daily workouts. I enjoy the daily challenge with every workout, and the best part is sharing that experience with friends.
