Iron Maiden (x5 rep) and Sinister+
TSC Elite Division Winner x 5 Guinness World Record Holder in Most Weight Lifter by TGU

“I LOVE kettlebells, coffee and cows! I spend my mornings instructing at THE GYM and my days working on my family’s dairy farm. My fitness journey started back in high school, where I ran hurdles in track. In college I became a cardio queen and hit the elliptical hard. I started racing 5ks… then half marathons… and then logically, marathons. After my fifth full, I decided that running wasn’t the best for my body and found kettlebells. Fast forward 5 years and I am currently StrongFirst Elite, an IRON MAIDEN (eek! was my goal for 3 years! Don’t know what this means - ask me about it), completed Strongfirst’s SINISTER challenge, 5x TSC Elite Division winner, and owner of THE GYM WB. I am super excited to share my love for kettlebells and fitness with you!!”

“I love kettlebells, soccer, cows and Jackie. I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old. In 2012, I suffered a knee injury and was forced to quit playing. In 2015, Jackie introduced me to kettlebell training. I started getting back into shape and felt much stronger. I decided to try playing soccer again. Now I am down over 50 pounds and finally have that six pack! I am in the best shape of my life and play soccer 3-4 times a week. In April of 2018 I became SFG1 certified by Strongfirst. I was the winner of the TSC novice division in 2017 and am currently training to become a BEAST TAMER. I can help you achieve your weight loss goals, just like I did.”

“I really love to swing… a kettlebell, that is!  I picked up a Kettlebell in 2013 and it was a game changer.  Overweight most of my life, it was like things finally clicked - with the combination of kettlebell swings & changes in my nutritional habits, I was able to lose 40 pounds in about 6 months.  I fell in love with kettlebell training and became a StrongFirst Level 1 certified Kettlebell Instructor in 2018. I am proud to be an example of strength to my two little girls and can’t wait to help you get started on your fitness journey!”

“I love snatching and TGU’s, dance breaks in my day, strong coffee, working, and of course, our dog! With no athletic history, my fitness journey began in January of 2018 and 100 pound ago. And until about a year ago, I never imagined I would be writing this trainer bio. The first day I picked up a kettlebell, I just knew that this was going to be a new life long love affair. As a hairstylist by trade, my days are spent at my salon. I have the natural urge to want to help people look and feel their best in more ways than one. That is why I decided to become a Strongfirst instructor. Helping people feel strong is one of my favorite things. I am so eager to help you accomplish your fitness and nutrition goals! I love this GYM family and I know you will too!“
