Kathleen Hall- NASM Certified Personal Trainer and USA Triathlon Certified Coach
Kathleen’s philosophy is that working out should be fun, and she enjoyshelping clients of any age feel confident in their bodies and maintain functional fitness to achieve their goals, whether they are a competitive athlete or brand new to working out. She grew up swimming and competed as a varsity athlete in college. During that time, she was also a swim coach, taught swimming lessons, and worked as a life guard. After her swimming career ended, Kathleen decided to pursue triathlon and now enjoys coaching and competing in the multi-sport endurance world.
Outside the gym, Kathleen is a Seattle native who was raised loving all things Pacific Northwest: skiing, hiking, swimming, biking, running, kayaking, and (of course) coffee! In 2018, she and her partner co-founded a boutique coffee roasting business that has been a fun and rewarding side project.
Collin Roland- Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science and Certifications in Corrective Exercise and Sports Performance Training
I am Tybald Jourdan and I am a personal trainer and boxing instructor. I am certified by IPTA and EREPS. I speak 3 languages English, French, and Spanish. I have lived in Europe as well as Asia. My background in fitness comes to playing team sports in my youth through high school. I have been a personal trainer since 2019 and I enjoy nothing more than helping people reach their fitness goals and gain more confidence. I use boxing in a way to release all the tension or stress as well as its phenomenal cardio. I’ve participated in a few Tough Mudder competitions as well. I am able to train people of all levels of ability and to set up proper challenges for growth.
My experience in personal training is 1-on-1 resistance training to help build muscle and curb fat. I coach group classes with a mix of HIIT and strength training. When it comes to boxing I run drills on different bags and provide proper footwork and punching techniques.
Let the gains begin!
Serena Tedsco
“I have been an athlete and fitness enthusiast for as long as I can remember. I grew up playing sports year-round, specifically competitive basketball. It was after college was when I discovered my love for weightlifting and resistance training, and decided to turn my passion for fitness into a career.
I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, and Women’s Fitness Specialist. I have a diverse range of experience, and love learning about new ways to make fitness effective and fun for my clients. I am most passionate about helping others find their strength and confidence through fitness, both physically and mentally.
In my free time you will find me hanging out with my son and husband, working out (surprise!) taking walks with my dog, Lincoln (while listening to true crime podcasts), cooking, baking, and during the summer months, chasing the sun as much as possible.”

Keegan Thorpe – N.A.S.M. CPT CES
My name is Keegan Thorpe. I’m a personal Trainer/Corrective Exercise Specialist certified with the National Association of Sports Medicine.
I’ve been involved in sports my whole life, however, I began training and instructing fitness classes about six years ago. I was initially drawn to this field while rehabbing an occupational injury from working in construction. I gradually shifted my regular job to fitness because it’s just a lot more fun and rewarding. I get to relive that experience through others and it never seems like work.
All types of fitness interest me but I focus on Corrective Exercise and Small Group Training the most. That’s where I feel like I have the biggest impact. I look forward to helping you be the best version of yourself!
Kiel McDougall – NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Yoga Instructor
Growing up in Maine, Kiel McDougall enjoyed running in the woods, reading comic books, and wrestling with friends. Never one to be complacent, he used to run to elementary school to get a workout instead of taking the bus. When he was eight years old, he began chronicling his workouts in a journal. He has traveled around the world, scuba dived in the Caribbean islands, fought forest fires in California, and professionally battled in the MMA cage.
Kiel’s passion for health and fitness led to becoming a certified NASM personal trainer and a certified yoga instructor. He is a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. A proponent of whole foods and the benefits of eastern medicine, his approach to health is a holistic one: he believes that the mind, body, and soul must all be balanced in order to reach optimum health and longevity. A voracious reader, he majored in English and minored in Psychology in college, graduating summa cum laude from the University of Maine.
