Louisville, KY

I am beyond excited to be a part of Burn Boot Camp- Louisville. Burn Boot Camp has a very strong focus on community and that is what I love most. I have always wanted to have a profession in which I can change the lives of my community for the better and head trainer of Burn Louisville is that opportunity! I graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a Bachelor of Science Concentrated in Physical Education as well as a Minor of Nutrition. I started out as a nursing major, but quickly realized that my true passion was fitness! While in college I got married to my loving wife Evin and she has truly been a blessing. I wouldn't be here to train you now without having her by my side. Since graduating from college, I have spent all of my time personal training. I have helped people, both men and women, reach success several times. But I never seemed to feel that I was making a real difference on a larger scale and that was unsatisfying. That is why Burn is the perfect place for me and I can’t wait to help hundreds, even thousands of women make an impact on the Louisville community. Together we will work to make the city of Louisville the happiest and healthiest city in this country!

It is such a privilege to be a part of this wonderful community at Burn Boot Camp Louisville. I graduated from the University of Louisville with a BA in Psychology and have worked most of my adult life providing social services for adults suffering from severe mental illness. Ever since I can remember I've been a fitness enthusiast and could always be found in the gym during my free time. Then, life caught up with me and in 2010 I met my now husband, and through the "courting phase" of our relationship, I packed on about 45 pounds. After we were married, I started trying to lose the weight and quickly realized that exercise alone could not get the job done. I found that nutrition and mindset played a major part in getting to a healthy weight. It was only after focusing on these other areas that I was able to lose that stubborn weight and maintain it. Making a lifestyle change was difficult, but my passion for whole health grew. The more I learned, the more I wanted to share and help others who may be struggling with the same issues I had. Now I'm super excited to work with other women out there and help them to become better versions of themselves.

I first was introduced to Burn when my wife signed up through Groupon with Devan (founder) when he was working out with a few clients in a rented parking lot. Over the next four years, I saw how Burn can change someone and infiltrate an entire family. I was blown away at how this program not only impacts someone physically but changes you inside and out. That's why I did not hesitate when Brittnay said she wanted to franchise with Burn. I am beyond excited to bring Burn to
Louisville and be part of your training.

I am a transformation story myself. Through my twenties I had all of the bad habits and at about 270 lbs I was very unhealthy. Some guys at work got me into Jiu Jitsu and I quickly realized just how bad off I was. So I started to change. At first I was on every fad diet and trendy fitness plan on the internet. Over time I made some progress but really made the change to a happier healthier life when Brittnay got involved with Burn. Everything she was learning made its way into my life.

My daily goal is to positively impact others and better myself in that pursuit. That has motivated me to become a trainer and learn as much as I can about physical and personal improvement. Life is a great adventure and I am excited to be part of your journey.

I am thrilled and privileged to be a part of Burn Boot Camp Louisville! My husband, John-David, and I both grew up in East Tennessee. We moved to Louisville in 2008, and we love it here! A little about my background: It wasn't until college when I started to realize the impact food has on your performance and body. I was on my college dance team and quickly realized that my diet didn't fuel my workouts or body. My college roommate was a dietetics major while I studied dental hygiene at East Tennessee State University. She opened my eyes to so many things (and still does!). After we married and moved to Louisville, my husband and I dealt with infertility. This made me even more passionate about health, especially women's health. I decided to go back to school for my Master of Education degree in Community Health. Through that, I am a women's fitness specialist and a certified health education specialist. I felt called to serve people through health education, and I'm so thankful to be able to do that here at Burn! I am thrilled to be able to walk this journey with so many women and their families! To me, there is nothing more fulfilling than to see women flourishing and spreading that knowledge and passion on to their husbands and children. I want to be healthy so that I can steward my life and family in that way, and that's what I want to help you do. May we be strong - mind, body, and spirit- here at Burn Boot Camp Louisville!

After my second child was born I found myself unhealthy and looking for a change. I reached out to a local trainer who was instrumental in guiding me in my ability to challenge myself physically and mentally. I was also taught the necessary missing component in my health and that was the key of a healthy diet in order to perform well overall. Through this experience I fell in love with fitness, the challenge, the sweat and the push. I decided to take on the challenge of triathlon and excelled in that discipline. I competed in short to long distance triathlons for some time and in the off season would participate in running races. The time commitment of triathlons began to become a bit overwhelming with life as a busy mom and I sought for a change. That’s when I found Burn Bootcamp. I began at the Burn Bootcamp in Huntersville, NC, which is the original Burn. I loved that the workout still allowed me to challenge myself as an athlete. The workouts were balanced with little time commitment and allowed great results. Our family relocated to Crestwood, KY this summer and I was so thrilled to be able to plug right into the Louisville location and even more thrilled to hear of the opening of Crestwood and opportunity to be a support trainer. The Burn community is like no other and it was such an instrumental piece in the ease of my transition to this city. I am beyond excited to be able to share what I have learned and experienced with other women in order for them to be empowered to live well.

I am incredibly honored to be a part of the Burn Boot Camp community! Being active and staying fit have always been a priority in my life. I have always played sports growing up, and even went on to play field hockey at Bellarmine University. Unfortunately, field hockey came to an end for me, and I felt completely lost – not knowing how to stay active, without sports, for about a year or two. Then I was determined to make fitness a priority again, so I started back up with Crossfit. The competitiveness is really what drew me in to that style of workout. With these workouts and the great trainers I was able to work with, I was able to learn an incredible amount about the “fitness world” like form, breathing, techniques, and more. Although, before I knew it, I was “bulking” because my diet wasn’t on track and I wasn’t fueling my body properly for the results I wanted. Once I realized what my body needed in order to obtain the results I wanted and how important a proper diet was, it became a habit and a hobby. I am beyond excited to take everything I have learned and share it with others who are simply trying to reach the same goals! It is important to have the knowledge, use that knowledge, but most importantly to have the support you need! We are all in this fitness journey together!
