It truly is a life changing field both for myself and for others I get to work with. In my free time, I love to read, drink coffee and explore Colorado!

• Orangetheory Fitness Franchisee Recruiter - Developer

I was born and raised in Doniphan, Nebraska. It's a small farming town located about 100 miles west of the capitol, Lincoln. I have since been growing and developing my social, career, and leadership skill sets in Denver, Colorado. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Biology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Most of my education was spent studying marine and river fishes of the world to discern any evolutionary insights into their biological, and physiological reactions to our manipulated environments and variables. I started my professional career in Colorado with Complete Nutrition and during our cross pollination of clients and events became a manager with Orangetheory Fitness We Spread Health. As a coach for Orangetheory, I hold a Certified Personal Training Certificate from the American Council on Exercise and CPR Certificate through the American Red Cross. I personally fell in love with Orangetheory through the workouts and what it carried over into my life. Base pace is a way of life. It's taught me the importance of maintaining, recovering and repeat performing my work life balance to the benefit of others. I am constantly performing and digging deeper into myself to assist others in their pursuit of their best selves physically, mentally, and spiritually. We Spread Health and it's founder have given me the opportunity of a lifetime to not only grow and keep growing, but to leave a positive mark on those around me day in and day out. I am passionate about family. My dogs and significant other are always a positive, adventure-some pack. Whether we're in the mountains on a Fourteener, camping in Pike National Forest, or walking in Wash Park, we're always together. I have a knack for music. I am a singer-songwriter and you can also catch me dj'ing your local OTF Glow Class. I'm an avid reader and am always searching for that feeling of peace within.

Job Titles:

• Office Manager

I have been a resident of Colorado since 1984 and love the outdoor active lifestyle. My husband Jim, and I have spent many weekends road and mountain biking, hiking, paddling class III and IV sections of whitewater and backcountry skiing in the Colorado mountains. Although we have scaled back and aren't quite the adrenaline junkies we used to be, we still enjoy the great outdoors, especially hiking with our dog and doing long-distance cycling, which we just took up in the last couple of years. In 2000, I started practicing yoga several times a week as an alternative to working out in a gym. I found yoga to be just what I needed to increase my strength and flexibility and relieve the stresses of a demanding job as an accountant for a large corporation. After attending the Level I teacher training in Hawaii with Baron Baptiste in March 2004, I knew that yoga was going to be more than just another form of exercise. It was going to be a way of life. Since then I have attended many workshops and trainings to expand my knowledge. I have completed both the 200-hour Power Yoga and Hot Yoga certification programs through CorePower Yoga here in Denver. I left the corporate world in September 2004 to teach yoga full time. After 3 years, I transitioned into a management role while continuing to teach and managed CorePower Yoga's Ken Caryl studio for 5 years. I still teach yoga and learn as much from my students as they learn from me. Yoga changed my life, and I believe it is a gift that is meant to be shared. I joined the We Spread Health team in mid-February 2013 as the Accounting/Office Manager. I have loved being a part of this amazing team and watching these studios grow from the ground up. It inspires me to be inspired and believe that anything is possible. In addition to enjoying outdoor exercise, my regimen includes regular yoga practices at CorePower Yoga, classes at Orangetheory Fitness, bootcamp and cycling workouts. I love to relax as well and enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, and vacationing anywhere tropical!

Job Titles:

• Regional Manager
• Orangetheory Fitness Area Manager

Born and raised here in Colorado, I have always been active outdoors and in sports. Once organized sports ended, I quickly found a passion in fitness and a desire to make the world a healthier place. While working towards a BS in Exercise Science and Nutrition, I started working as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. Through a friend's referral, I started looking at a job at Orangetheory Fitness. It didn't take long to fall in love with the science behind the workout, the community, and the incredible impact OTF can have on individual lives. After one year of coaching, I moved to Boca Raton, FL to work at OTF Global Headquarters as a Fitness Educator. I was able to travel around the US and also internationally to Kuwait and Guatemala to help open new OTF locations. After one year working as a Fitness Educator, an amazing opportunity to help grow and develop the CO region appeared, and I moved back to be a part of the We Spread Health team.

Job Titles:

• Controller
• Human Resources Manager

My fitness journey started in Laramie, Wyoming, when a high school friend of mine was dealing with mental struggles and I was able to help him overcome those through physical activity. My love for the industry and the power of mental and physical health began here. During this time, I started using household items and creativity; I watched my friend transform physically and mentally as well as intrigued my interest in the effects on the human movement system. From then on, I had to learn more. I attended the University of Wyoming where I received my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and went on to earn my MBA. Both degrees helped me really dig into the operational as well as the financial side of the fitness industry. While I was at the University, I wanted to be involved much more than going to class and put my knowledge to work, overseeing all personal training and group fitness aspects around campus. After graduation, I began my career aiding in the successful development of several franchise fitness centers where I was mainly on the operations side.

Job Titles:

• Business Development Manager

I grew up in upstate New York and pursued a BS in Business Management and double major in Pre-Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University before living and working in Los Angeles and Newport Beach, CA in Private and Corporate Banking with First Interstate Bank and later Wells Fargo Bank. In search of a great place to start a family, I moved with my now husband, Kyle, to Denver, CO in 1993. After 10 years in Finance, my focus shifted to children and involvement in their school community and I was lucky to discover…. The practice of Yoga! I was a gymnast growing up and suffered a severe knee injury as a teenager. Years of running, biking and skiing also had begun to take their toll on my knees. I first turned to yoga for physical healing, but soon after discovered its benefits for body, mind and spirit. I've been a Certified Yoga Instructor since 2008, teaching Hot and Power Vinayasa Yoga at CorePower Yoga as well as private instruction and youth programs. Fortunately for me, my connection with the yoga community is what led me to join the awesome team at We Spread Health when they were looking to expand from their CPY and OTF businesses into health food eateries. In June of 2016, I signed on to be part of the WSH Team.

I've been in the fitness industry for over 15 years and have certifications that include NASM, ACE, TRX, Schwinn and more. I love being about to help grow our Orangetheory Fitness staff into better leaders and in return help them create more vibrant lives for our members.

I'm truly passionate about cooking and if I wasn't with OTF I would be supporting others with their nutrition through eating the right foods.
