our team.
“growing up some of the most important figures in my life were coaches. I had a few coaches who believed in me- yet were honest & never held back when I needed feedback. these experiences really shaped my belief in myself & made me more driven & confident. by the time I was in high school I was a disciplined athlete- training 2+ hours a day for track or basketball. I learned what disciplined practice could do & I knew that I’d be coaching in my future.”
Jon Hanna
“one mission in my life is to help people discover who they are & what they truly want in life, & to be comfortable & confident in both of those areas. that honest self evaluation takes a lot of work & courage to begin. one of the best ways to discover yourself is to face & overcome challenges, particularly those in the physical realm… I am honored to assist my clients in their journey of self discovery & guide them through challenges that will enhance their physical, mental, & emotional health!”
Melinda Clark
“I really value passing down knowledge. I think it is important to a community. My past experience coaching was in youth sports & I enjoyed sharing my knowledge with the next generation. similarly, I have always been enthusiastic about training. I have tried a variety of programs over the last decade of my life & feel that I have value I can now pass on in the fitness community!.I am eager & excited to be on staff & support our fantastic community in their fitness journey!”
