Hi, I’m Lyndsey Leemon. I’ve proudly been part of the St. Joseph community for nearly 30 years, where I live with my husband and three children. My passion is helping women feel strong, resilient, and truly capable—at every stage of life. I work with women of all ages, from youth and teens to adults and seniors, meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. As an avid weightlifter, I love guiding clients to those powerful “aha” moments—when strength clicks and confidence follows. As a mother, I also understand the importance of the mind-body connection, and I enjoy helping women build control, balance, and trust in their bodies. Whether your goal is to build strength, gain confidence, or simply move through daily life without pain or limitation, I’m here to support you. I believe every woman deserves a space where she feels comfortable, capable, and empowered. My approach is personal and intentional—I take the time to understand your goals, evaluate your past routines, and create a plan that’s realistic, sustainable, and built to last.
Hi I’m Tori! I’m a ACE certified personal trainer passionate about helping women feel strong, confident, and comfortable in the gym at every stage. My approach focuses on building strength from the inside out, starting with the deep core and pelvic floor, then progressing into functional strength training that translates into real life. I work with people in all stages, from postpartum women looking to rebuild their core to older adults looking to improve stability, balance, and overall strength. I meet you where you’re at whether you’re brand new to the gym or have experience and you’re looking for guidance. I want to help you build confidence in both your body and your training! I’ve made plenty of mistakes in my own fitness journey, and that’s shaped how I coach today. My goal is to help you avoid the setbacks, focus on what actually works, and build strength that lasts! Everyone deserves to feel like they belong at the gym.

Hi, I’m Hannah. I have 10+ years of experience in the fitness and wellness industry. I graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in Exercise Science. I trained at The Zone here in St Joe during college leading both personal training and group fitness classes. I believe the gym is more than a place to work out—it’s a space to build strength, confidence, and support a healthy mental and emotional lifestyle. My passion is helping people reach their goals through strength training, full-body fitness, and athletic performance. Outside the gym, I love getting outdoors, traveling the world and spending time with my family. I’m excited to step back into a trainer role and look forward to building connections while helping others become the strongest, healthiest version of themselves
Hi I’m Andrea! Im a busy mom who wanted to feel strong, confident, and energized again. That’s what brought me to my fitness journey! There’s nothing more I’d love to do than to help those who want to reclaim their strength, confidence, and time for themselves.
I create simple, effective workouts designed for real life because you deserve to feel just as strong as the life you’re holding together.
I help you build realistic fitness routines that fit into your life, not take it over. No guilt, no extremes, just sustainable progress and support every step of the way. I hope to create a place where you can confidently show up for yourself without judgement whether it’s building daily habits, weight loss or strength training.
If you’re ready to start showing up for yourself again, I’m here to support you every step of the way. You don’t have to do it alone and you don’t have to be perfect. Just start, and we’ll build from there 
Hi, I’m Shelbie. A few years ago, I wasn’t taking care of myself. I was stressed, anxious, and avoiding the gym because it felt overwhelming. I didn’t know where to start, worried everyone was watching, and sometimes I just sat at home scrolling instead of moving at all. I even had days where I promised myself, I’d go to the gym… and then didn’t. Over time, I realized fitness isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, moving your body, and doing a little for yourself every day. That’s when things changed. I felt stronger, more confident, and finally like myself again. Now, I want to help people build simple routines, feel at home in the gym, and make progress at their own pace. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure, and I’m here to show that starting small still counts and can actually be fun. If you’re ready to start, let’s do it together and focus on progress, not perfection. I look forward to helping you create healthy, lifelong habits to support your journey of health and wellness!
