Scott Brewer
Owner/Head Coach
Upon leaving the military Scott competed in all things Endurance. OCRs, Marathons and Triathlons. When Scott discovered functional fitness he realized strength was a missing link in his fitness and necessary for longevity in Endurance activities. His coach and mentor, Carl Hardwick, told him about OPEX and CCP. The rest is history. Although he does not compete as often as he used to, he loves helping others reach their goals and fulfillment through fitness.
Kari Cooper
On-Site Coach
Kari was born and raised in Columbia, SC. She comes from an endurance sports background competing in triathlons for over 6 years before looking for something new. Kari transitioned to CrossFit to scratch that competitive itch. After a few years, she realized that she needed something more individualized to her needs and goals. She hired Carl Hardwick in the spring of 2015 as her remote coach and this is where she fell in love with the individualized fitness approach.
