Brooke Armstrong
Coach
I’ve been doing CrossFit for a little over 2 years. I believed in it so much I obtained my L1 trainer certification and have been coaching for 18 months. When I’m not working out or coaching, I’m a physical therapist assistant at a local hospital. I’m a dog mom to a beautiful pup named Nora. I’m also the coolest Aunt to Chandler and Graham.
Melissa Bjerke
Coach
I have been doing CrossFit for over 7 years. I began my coaching journey with CFWR in 2019. Home is one of my favorite places to be…hanging out with my beautiful daughters. I love my time with them…at home or scurrying off to their many activities. I enjoy spending my free time in nature and anything outdoors. Oh, and coffee, coffee dates are great!
Brandon Clemens

I started CrossFit in March of 2016 and started coaching in November of 2019. I’ve been married to my wonderful wife, Jenna, for almost 10 years. We have two wild and amazing kids. Our son Jackson is 7 and our daughter Penelope is 5. In my free time I like to read, play and watch basketball, and eat good and interesting foods.
Michael Harless
Coach
I have been doing CrossFit for over 5 years. My CrossFit journey started at CFWR and I have been coaching for 4 years. My wife, Stormie, and I welcomed a baby girl, Sloane, a year ago. I love to spend my free time with them! You can also find me on the golf course in nice weather and playing guitar at church. Two hobbies I truly enjoy. I also love IU basketball and participating in IronMan activities.
Hope Stauffer
Coach
I’m a video production major at Ball State, and I’ve been doing CrossFit for about 3 years! I’ve ran for most of my life. I ran track for five years and cross country for three. I found CrossFit during my senior year of high school and was hooked as soon as I walked into the gym. When I’m not at the gym coaching/working out, I’m probably doing homework, which sounds lame, but it’s the truth. I’ll make it a bit more interesting – when I’m not at the gym, I’m hiking mountains, playing with dogs, and drinking good coffee.
Tisha Stone
Coach
I have been doing CrossFit for about 5 years and coaching for almost 4. I love being a part of CrossFit White River! My free time is spent with family. My husband and I are parents to Tayler (Greg) and Tate (Mallory). Tayler and Greg have 3 littles (Russell, Penelope, and Brody) that bring us much joy and keep us busy!
