Every day we see how personal training can cause a transformation. Almost overnight, clients become motivated to make exercise and a healthy diet part of their routine. They feel more positive, less stressed and have more energy.
Lindsay enjoys all aspects of running CoachMeFit, but her greatest triumph is seeing
a reluctant client become eager to exercise. Lindsay’s warmth and enthusiasm set the tone
for the positive energy that fills the studios. Her training style is best described as, “it hurts so good.”
Franklin is the perfect example of a trainer who practices what he preaches. With his focused personality, he’s a stickler for form and proper execution. He’s outstanding at helping clients find their appropriate intensity level for optimal results. He’s also a great resource for nutrition information.
While working on her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, Jen was an enthusiastic member of the rugby team. The jobs she had following graduation didn’t bring her the joy that physical fitness did. Now as a personal trainer, Jen is working at what she is most passionate about.
A marathon runner, a yoga enthusiast, and proponent of good nutrition — all describe Anna’s commitment to a healthy lifestyle. As a special education teacher with a degree in psychology, Anna is well equipped to motivate and instruct her clients on all aspects of exercise.
Ann Marie’s exceptional skills as a trainer, together with her easy laugh and caring personality, have brought her an exceptionally loyal roster of clients. Seeing how attentive she is to clients, it is easy to see that being a mother to Dylan and Jake is the joy of her life.
Alissa balances her serious-student life (she’s working toward a PhD in Kinesiology) with the enjoyment she gets from personal training. She puts extra effort into motivating her clients and encouraging them to have fun while getting fit. Ask her about her love of dance.
As a highly dedicated personal trainer, Jason has worked on building his skills by learning new techniques and approaches. His knowledge, focus, and warm personality are an ideal combination for an effective trainer.
Carolyn gives each client 100% of her attention, from warm-up to final stretch. She’s a true professional with broad training experience including group fitness instruction. Because Carolyn has a knack for inspiring her clients, they enjoy breaking a sweat.
Once a professional interior landscaper, Bill knows the practical value of maintaining strength and balance and avoiding injury as people age. He’s sharp, thoughtful and centered. Once personal training was his serious hobby; now it’s his second career.
Hard work and disciplined training are a way-of-life for Chizzy, a previous member of U of M’s track and field team. Now as a personal trainer, she’s an inspiring, knowledgeable "coach" who gives her all to help others raise their level of fitness.
Amy’s hobbies — running, biking, snowboarding, tennis, and basketball — say it all. She is passionate about fitness. Personal training and coaching women’s sports give her many opportunities to share her energy and positive attitude.
Jen is all about focusing on her clients' specific needs. She often provides articles or other types of fitness information to further motivate her clients. For Jen, training is as much fun as it is work — a balance that clients appreciate.
As a personal trainer and a student of dietetics, Tara is developing the knowledge and skill to promote the overall health and well being of children and adults. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm for this goal is evident in her ability to motivate others to take better care of themselves.
