Devin Colavecchio
NASM Certified Personal Trainer
My fitness and training began long before I became a certified trainer. As a child I was over weight, struggled with self confidence and feelings of depression. Nothing seemed to help...until I found weight training. There I began to find a new me, feelings of confidence, and an emotional uplift everytime I stepped in the gym. When I became a mental health counselor I found that "typical" simply did not fit who I am and sitting in an office was..well...exhausting, boring, and unfulfilling. I wanted to provide more, better, and an approach that blended physical well being, confidence, and a sense of mental stability. To me fitness is not just about losing weight, gaining strength, or achieving a physical goal. It is about finding yourself, pulling out the grit inside, and presenting it to the world.
Holden Dudley
NASM Certified Personal Trainer
My fitness journey began back in 6th grade when I was just a skinny kid trying to put on some muscle so I could compete with the bigger guys in sports. Sports stayed with me all the way till the end of college. Once I graduated I realized I wanted to spend my time and dedicate myself to leading a healthy lifestyle and guide others there as well. If you’re looking for sport specific training, bodybuilding, or just looking to stay fit contact me!
