“I struggled with my weight for nearly my entire life. My family moved frequently when I was growing up, being overweight made me feel very self-conscious going out for sports at new schools. I wound up working in restaurants in high school, which didn’t help my weight problem.  When I went away to college I looked at it as a way to makeover my life and I became focused on taking better care of myself. It was then that I started running and eating better and lost over 30lbs. In 2000 I felt stagnant in my exercise routing and I wanted a “goal” to work towards so I signed up for a marathon. I joined a running group a few years later and soon started leading the groups. I realized very quickly that this was my true calling. I LOVED being the leader, coaching and inspiring people to achieve their goals and making friends along the way. When I had way pregnant for my first child I was stressed and placed on “modified bedrest” and gained a whopping 54 pounds! I was back to square 1 and felt miserable by how far out of shape I was. I no longer had time to train for marathons (8-10 hours of running per week) and my body had changed. After learning the correct way to eat AND to workout to lose fat,  I can honestly say that after 3 kids I am in the best shape of my life. I am so excited to motivate you to train harder and smarter. To focus on build strength and making every moment of your workout COUNT. As a former “Cardio Queen” I could never have changed my body the way I have now and I am so passionate about getting you RESULTS in the shortest time possible. I missed the thrill of coaching people to achieve their goals and I cannot wait to share my enthusiasm and passion with YOU!”- Kelly

“A fitness enthusiast, former ballet dancer and martial arts practitioner, weight lifting aficionado, tactical training student, an avid Harley rider and now a NETA-certified group fitness instructor, I have a strong passion for fitness and well-being which I love sharing with others.

In 2011, I stumbled upon a deal from Altman Fitness offering bootcamp-style workouts.  These workouts combined intense bursts of exercise with less intense active recovery periods – something I had never done before.  As a person constantly looking for something new, I had to add Bootcamp to my exercise portfolio!   Little did I know that I had found a gold mine:  something that delivered solid results, was fun and would turn my life around completely.

My personal success with Altman Fitness inspired me to further pursue the fascinating world of fitness.  A bootcamp student turned instructor in a little over a year, I obtained my instructor certification and joined the training team.  A deal that was supposed to last a month turned into a life-long commitment.

Watching others succeed is the biggest reward, and I see it in our classes every day.  My background in various avenues of fitness allows me to understand the important balance of strength, persistence and flexibility.  As an instructor I strive to inspire, motivate, and help you achieve your goals and dreams.   Almost anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Live life to the fullest.   Always believe in yourself.  Step outside of the comfort zone.

See you at the studio!”

Certified Lvl1 Precision Nutrition Coach and Certified Personal Trainer – NASM

“I spent my formative years as a competitive swimmer and always struggled with maintain a healthy weight.  Unfortunately although exercise was a huge part of my life, nutrition was not.  It wasn’t until my junior year at IU (Hoosiers!!) that I sought out the expertise of nutritionist.  As an adult, I have been a member of various gyms and a regular attender of barbell strength, step aerobics, Pilates and Yoga, and kickboxing classes.  My heart lies with weight lifting; however, I LOVE  group bootcamp classes.

About 5 years ago, after a lifetime of gradually increasing gut issues, I tried Whole30 and changed the course of my life.  I have had intolerances to gluten and corn before “Gluten Free” became a lifestyle choice, before there were many options on retail shelves and in restaurants. This forced me to educate myself on a wide variety of alternatives that would meet my dietary needs while still pleasing my family. I have run Facebook groups to help other women become their healthiest by setting goals, sharing my favorite recipes and recommending workouts that I felt met the abilities of the individual. I work to stay on top of “trending” diets and understand their short vs long-term viability because my goal is to take the elements that are sustainable and help incorporate them into a family’s life.  I LOVE to cook healthy, fast meals everyone will eat.
