Brooke Bergeson | Founder & Head Coach

Brooke Bergeson is the founder of Orca Strength Collective — a mom of three, two-time national champion, and longtime strength and conditioning coach. With a degree in Exercise Science and Nutrition and more than a decade of coaching experience, she’s helped hundreds of people—especially busy moms—rebuild strength, confidence, and energy for real life.

As a mom herself, Brooke knows what it feels like to juggle kids, work, and life while still craving time to feel strong again. That’s exactly why she built Orca Strength Collective: a place where women can train hard, feel athletic again, and be surrounded by other moms who get it.

Her coaching philosophy is simple: precise coaching, personalized training, and accountability that keeps you showing up. While Brooke has ranked among the top athletes in the world in her division, her true passion is helping women rediscover their athletic side — not to compete, but to thrive.

At Orca Strength Collective, Brooke helps moms prove that you don’t have to slow down as life gets busier. You just need the right team, the right plan, and a Pod that’s got your back.

Coaching Philosophy

At Orca Strength Collective, I believe fitness is about more than workouts—it’s about living a life you’re proud of. I love the CrossFit methodology because it builds athletes for life: strong, capable, confident, and ready for whatever comes their way.

I want my kids—and my clients—to move well through life, to not be afraid to try new things, and to feel what it’s like to be truly athletic again. Many of the people I coach once played sports and miss that feeling of being strong, fast, and fearless. Life got busy, but you can get that back.

My philosophy is simple:

  • Position before performance. Moving well comes first. Getting hurt and ending up sidelined isn’t the goal.

  • Lift heavy. Build real strength. Have you met anyone who says they don’t want to be strong?

  • Train with intensity. Push hard when it matters.

  • Recover smart. Listen to your body and rest when it needs it.

  • Eat well. Fuel your body to perform.

  • Move outside the gym. Play, explore, live.

  • Prioritize sleep. The ultimate recovery tool.

  • Stay mobile. Move pain-free for life.

I love working with energy-givers—people who work hard, want accountability, and like to laugh. If you bring effort (not excuses), I’ll meet you with coaching, accountability, and a community that has your back. I don’t care if your goal is to lose fat, build muscle, or just feel like an athlete again. If you’re willing to show up and put in the work, I want to work with you.

Why Pods Work

In nature, orcas thrive in pods because they are faster, stronger, and more strategic together. The same is true here. Pods are intentionally small — designed to deliver the attention of personal training while harnessing the accountability and energy of a team.

Your coach leads with precision. Your pod drives you further. The result: faster progress, deeper commitment, and long-term transformation.
