MEET THE TEAM
The people who will know your name, watch your form, and notice when you’re not there.
Deborah Pusatere
“My WHY is to help people learn to love, respect, strengthen, and embrace the body God gave them — because He created them intentionally, and God doesn’t make mistakes. As they grow stronger and healthier, they experience an improved quality of life that positively impacts their families, relationships, and work. As their confidence grows, so does their success, self-love, and love for others. Together, we’re changing the world — one person at a time.”
YOUR INSTRUCTORS
Every one of them teaches because of something they believe. Here it is, in their own words.
Nikki
“My why for teaching fitness classes is to inspire people to improve their health, believe in themselves, do things they never thought they could, have fun, love and appreciate their bodies, and build strength and healthy habits for a long, happy life.”
Mandi
“My why is to motivate, inspire and communicate to make strong and healthy connections.”
Tiffany
“There is nothing more rewarding than watching members grow stronger, gain confidence and feeling the energy of every single person in every single class.”
