“Coaches are awesome, programming is fantastic. They provide well rounded workouts that aren’t boring or time consuming, and are very accommodating for different abilities. I didn’t have any experience in strength training and stuck only with running/cardio before joining two years ago, but now I’m a strong believer in having a solid gym routine too! It’s made such a difference in my health and body, and I feel so much more confident and capable. The coaches really make it a welcoming a supportive place, and are very knowledgeable – by far the best gym experience I’ve had!”

“Altered Gym offers both classes and private personal training. I’ve used both. I like the classes because we follow a specific program, so I don’t have to guess and come up with my own routine like when I used to go to Big Fitness. I also like the class format because it keeps me motivated and having others around makes me push myself more than if I was trying to work out on my own. If you want a small supportive class structure, workouts designed to be powerful and efficient, and knowledgeable coaches I highly recommend Altered Gym.”

“I can’t speak highly enough about Altered Gym, the coaches and the community they have created. Since joining 9 months ago I have lost 57lbs (so far). The knowledge, strength and confidence I have gained is immeasurable. 5 stars aren’t enough. The one on one training, nutrition guidance and group classes have help me smash my goals and given me tools to live a healthier life.”

“I love going to altered gym. The programming is awesome. When I was doing CrossFit type workouts with certain movements that would always leave me with pain everyday. Such as muscle ups, handstand push-ups, snatches, so on and so on. I feel less aches and pains and more gains. We still do those type of movements. Just not all the time. I don’t compete anymore. Nor do I want to. If I do it will be with a team and for the memories. If you want to be fit and be around like minded individuals of all ages. And I mean of ALL ages! It’s not just a young persons gym! Then Altered Gym is a gym you should come out and see!”

I tried just about every sport growing up and soccer is the one that stuck. I’m a classic center midfielder – loud, assertive, and able to see the whole picture and make assessments on the fly. I still enjoy playing in rec leagues, although my last season ended with a knee to the cheekbone and a black eye and I haven’t returned to sport postpartum. I started CrossFit in the fall of 2011 at the suggestion of a college professor and really enjoyed the struggle. This was my first experience lifting weights and exercising for enjoyment rather than just being better at soccer. During pregnancy, I had a tough time being motivated to exercise, even though I was in the gym all the time coaching. In the first trimester, I felt sick a lot, the second trimester was better and I resumed a lot of activity, but in the third, I was very uncomfortable and mostly stuck to walking. Returning to the gym was a humbling experience. I started very basic and worked my way back to following our Build programming. I enjoy swimming a lot and got into distance running (slow pace and like 5-10 miles) during the pandemic lockdown. I used to be diligent about doing interval track workouts once a week (and even dragged Coach Rhett along) but those haven’t made a comeback postpartum. I have a C2 bike that I enjoy doing longer rides on and am tentatively planning for a triathlon in July. Currently my training is the 3 Build workouts/week with additional cardio-only workouts on the side – and maybe the occasional Lift+Move if it really looks fun. Fast Facts: -I play cello – I was in the symphony in college at WKU and we went to China for a 2-week tour the May after I graduated. -I am the oldest of 4 children. My sister and brother had babies the same year as I had Ellie – my youngest brother was in Africa with the Peace Corps so he got a pass. -My husband (Greg) is a firefighter with Batavia Township. He exercises primarily in our garage gym but sometimes he makes an appearance at the gym. -I collect Harry Potter Legos. -I have 2 dogs (a black lab mix and a mini schnauzer). Greg and I met at a dog park while I was in grad school. -My favorite fiction book is The Princess Bride (yes, it’s the book the movie is based on) and the personal development book I got the most out of reading is Atomic Habits.

Turning Point

After 6 years of engineering school and 5 years working in the field, I knew that my desire to help people on a personal level wasn’t going to be fulfilled while I was stuck in an office. After 2 years of coaching part-time at my CrossFit gym, I decided to go all in on coaching and I found Coach Rhett searching for a full-time coach. As a native of Lexington, Kentucky living in New Hampshire, I was ready to come closer to home and put down roots. In August of 2020, my soon-to-be (eloped in Cincinnati on August 22, 2020) husband (Greg) and I moved to Dayton to start this new chapter of our lives. Since becoming a full-time coach I have experienced increased happiness and fulfillment as well as bought a house in Kettering and started a family (baby Ellie was born September 19, 2022).

Motivation & Passion

I am passionate about helping individuals build resiliency so they can say yes to all of life’s opportunities. For the grandmother who wants to be able to get down on the floor and play with her grandchildren. For the dad who wants to be able to throw the ball with his kid without shoulder pain. For the athlete who wants to play without fear of injury. For the young professional who wants to be able to go for a ski weekend with their friends. For the retiree who wants to play pickleball safely. For the parent who wants to set a good example for their teenager. I’m here to help you reclaim your capacity and build a stronger foundation for life.

I am Dayton born and raised. I grew up in Oakwood and played various sports throughout school, with my two favorites being cross country and lacrosse. While on the OHS Lacrosse team, I was a 4-year varsity athlete and 2-year captain. I am still involved with the team in several ways, primarily as a strength and assistant defensive coach. During my last two years of high school, I also attended Centerville High School for their Exercise Science program. Upon graduation, I attended Ball State University, earning a degree in Exercise Science in 2022. Since then, I have worked as a CrossFit coach and personal trainer. My specialty is ATG (knee ability training). This is also referred to as knee-over toes training, popularized by Ben Patrick (KneesOverToesGuy). This methodology focuses on strengthening the muscles and connective tissues around the knees by getting our knees over our toes. In my experience, this is especially useful in combatting shin splints, ACL injuries, and patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee). Even as a healthy individual, this can be beneficial in protecting the knee from future damage and gives you peace of mind so that you can play with kids, grandkids, pets, etc

Turning Point

My first year at Ball State was a big turning point. I was enrolled as a pre-med student but had no sense of direction. My body was in constant pain because I neglected physical activity to prioritize my studies. Upon completing my first semester, I was already unhappy and burnt out. I began training more with the help of a friend and never looked back. I changed my path to Exercise Science. I still didn’t fully know what I wanted, but through the help of professors and perseverance, I am where I am today.

Motivation & Passion

I coach to help as many people as I can become the best version of themselves. In my eyes, my success is only the success of my clients. I am dedicated to helping those who are experiencing/worried about knee pain and mobility limitations and anyone who walks through the gym doors. My motivation is helping people achieve things they never thought possible: the excitement and renewed confidence from being in the gym and seeing them transform into new people.
