After making a career change in 2023, Nadine became certified as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor in 2024. She believes there is not one definition of fit and fitness should be inclusive. Exercise not only changes your body, it changes your mind, attitude and mood. Philosophy: “Don’t quit, pivot. A pivot is a change in strategy without a change in vision.”
Crystal has been a NASM-certified personal trainer since 2019. She has 7 years of experience working with a variety of age groups in different modalities of personal training and group fitness. Crystal started figure skating in 2015. To improve her skating, she began to practice Yoga and Pilates to focus on core, lower body strength, and power moves, along with balance. She began teaching beginner ice lessons with the guidance of her coach and realized that she enjoyed teaching and would like to explore her options to teach off-ice conditioning for skaters. This led Crystal to acquire her group fitness certification through AFAA in 2018. Her passion for teaching brought her to expand her knowledge to teach TRX, HIIT, Hi-Low style cardio, and Schwinn Spin. In 2020 she accepted the role of Assisted Stretch Practitioner in a massage clinic where she did hands-on assisted stretching for clients with a myriad of different physical issues from young athletes, to the elderly looking to improve mobility, to those recovering from surgery, injury, and cancer. It is Crystal’s calling and heart’s desire to draw groups together and see many people working together in positive ways to affect real wellness. Philosophy: Life is a sport at any age. Progressing ideally through through the stages of life requires specifically unique physical conditioning.
