Emily Holmes-Martinez
Pittsboro - Briar Chapel
I'm originally from Erwin, NC, and moved to Chapel Hill to work full-time with UNC Kenan-Flagler. My journey into fitness coaching began because I wanted to be the mentor I wished I had during my own fitness journey, which I navigated through online resources. With a Bachelor's in Digital Media Studies and a Master's in Folklore from UNC, I bring a unique perspective to coaching that blends creativity with personal growth.
