Coach Sylvia
Founder
Hi besties!! Sylvia here. I grew up overweight my entire life and tried every yo-yo diet imaginable. To my surprise nothing ever worked. After suffering a back injury at my highest weight of 235, I knew it was time for change. I took control of my life back. I began researching the best sustainable habits to implement into my life and started incorporating them. I had a passion for cooking and food. I started fueling my body with nutrient dense foods and moving my body in ways that honored it instead of punishing it. The weight dropped fast. I lost 100 pounds in a year and became a certified nutritionist in the meantime. You’ll catch me traveling somewhere warm frequently (usually Disney) and spending time with my family. I became a new mom recently and it’s completely changed my outlook on life for the better. Remaining healthy isn’t just for me, but to set a good example for my son. My passion for helping people goes far beyond just guiding them to reach a certain number on the scale but rather to help become the best version of themselves possible. I cannot wait to help you reach your fullest potential, sustainably.
Coach Ciarra
Head Coach, onboarding specialist
Hey everyone, my name is Ciarra! My passion for fitness and nutrition first began 7 years ago when I knew I needed to make a change. When I walked through the gym doors my biggest concern was not how I looked, but more so how I felt. I was always tired and had zero self confidence. Since that day my goal has been to become the most mentally strong and confident me. My journey has not always been an upward slope. From trying every diet in the book all the way to rehabbing myself after multiple accidents, I can confidentially say I have found my way to achieve sustainable results while not feeling restricted or feeling that I am missing out on life. It has not been an easy process, but with perseverance and discipline I have been able to continuously reach my own goals. During my own journey I found my passion for fitness and decided to take a leap of faith and become a Certified Personal Trainer through NASM after graduating college. I have now been working in the fitness industry for 5 years and believe it is the best job in the world and cannot wait to be by your side throughout your journey. It is not going to be easy, but it is worth it and you will have me there for every peak and valley. I am honored to be your coach and cannot wait to witness you crush your goals and become the best version of yourself. I know that your are capable, now it’s time for you to believe it. Let’s get it, let’s go!
Coach Erin
onboarding specialist
Hi!! I’m Erin. I’m currently getting my NASM CPT and CNC certs. Fitness is my passion and nutrition is my life!!! I have a heart for pre and postnatal mamas. I’ve been a runner since high school and love the science between it. I love a good hard run but also can’t live without my leisurely walks with my son and a good lift in the gym. I workout and live this lifestyle because I’ve seen how it has completely transformed me not only physically but mentally. I’m my best self and I’m so excited to help others become the best, healthiest and happiest version of themselves.
Coach Ann
Hi I’m Ann! I’m a certified personal trainer excited to help others make positive changes in their lives! I was once severely overweight and knew my life was heading into a very scary future if I kept up with the habits I had, so I made a change. I fell in love with the gym, lifting heavy, and fueling my body with whole foods that give me energy. It wasn’t an easy journey but with the support of friends and family and building discipline I made it happen and lost 60lbs! Since then I have continued to push my body; excelling in the gym, running a half marathon, and joining a CrossFit gym. My goal is to make others see their full potential and believe that they can make changes. It’s a hard journey but I’ll be here every step of the way!

Coach Kari
I graduated in 2005 with my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Exercise Science. I have always been very active and enjoyed working out but life took me to the teaching world where I got to teach Kindergarten for 11+years. We moved to NWI in 2016 and after a few years here and finding myself helping friends with their workouts I jumped back into the fitness world. I earned my NASM certification in Personal Training and began coaching at Orangetheory Fitness. After 4 years there I was ready to grow and learn more so I got my Nutrition Certification from NASM and started Personal Training at the Y and working with Sylvia. I LOVE educating, teaching and helping people. Seeing people achieve their goals and build their confidence in themselves is so rewarding. Im a wife and mom to 2 teenagers and love getting to show them the healthy way to do life.
