Read More About Renée

Personal training gives me the opportunity to show people their strength and watch them transform into the best versions of themselves. I absolutely love to be part of the process and guide my clients to a healthy lifestyle that is both sustainable and enjoyable.

I provide nutrition coaching as well as personal training to help maximize results and efforts for wellness. I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their goals with thoughtful programming that includes stability, mobility, and strength. I meet my clients where they are and develop a plan for progress. Together, we can achieve anything.

When I am not working at the YMCA, I am busy spending time with my amazing family.

My husband and I have 2 kids and we moved to Weston in May 2022. We are loving it here in Wausau! I love tending to my plants and spending time outdoors in my free time.

“Consistent work pays off! Try to work on your fitness every day.”

Goals a person achieves at the gym can roll over into other areas of life. When a client begins to notice their progress, they feel better overall.

Goals a person achieves at the gym can roll over into other areas of life. When a client begins to notice their progress, they feel better overall.

When you work to achieve a goal and you can see and fell that tangible change in yourself, you feel rewarded.

As long as the person is working on a goal, I can help get them there. We build on that improvement and apply it to other areas.

I enjoy making and meeting personal fitness goals. When I am not training, I will play video games and I compete in a weekly recreational soccer league.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying ‘I will try again tomorrow.”

It is truly satisfying to observe my clients growing stronger and more confident with every workout. I enjoy designing fun and varied workouts to challenge the body while safely improving overall strength and fitness.

Read More About Laura

I have a passion for helping my clients discover their own health and happiness through active living.

I began exercising regularly back in college to help cope with the stress of school. To my delight, I found that regular physical activity positively impacted every aspect of my life.

When my children were little, I discovered the wonderfully supportive community of the Y and I went from being a regular group exercise class attendee to a Group Exercise Instructor and Personal Trainer.

“To give anything less then your best is to sacrifice the gift.”

Fitness isn’t being the fastest or strongestor best in the world. To me fitness is realizing the potential within ourselves and bringing it out. That’s why I wanted this profession. I want to show everyone what is deep within themselves.

Fitness isn’t being the fastest or strongest or best in the world. To me fitness is realizing the potential within ourselves and bringing it out. That’s why I wanted this profession. I want to show everyone what is deep within themselves.

It’s not me lifting the weights. It’s not me putting in the work. It’s all them and no one can take that away. The dedication can’t be bought, it must be earned.

When I am not working at the YMCA or training, I enjoy painting miniatures, movies all things Star Wars and reading. Beyond the gym my passion will always be spending time with my wife.

I enjoy being a personal trainer because I love fitness and sharing my passion with other people. We only get this one body and it’s amazing to see what our bodies are capable of.

There is no better feeling than helping others. It is so rewarding to see people change for the better. Whether it’s helping a client achieve their goal of carrying a laundry basket upstairs or running their first race, I love being able to help every step of the way.

Our Y has such a sense of community and our members not only have access to two state-of-the-art facilities, but also to trainers who genuinely care.

I have been with the Woodson YMCA since 2000 in various capacities and will forever be a Y person. It is such a blessing to walk in the doors and see members that I have known for 20 or more years!

In my spare time I enjoy traveling, participating in races, baking and giving back to the community.

“Success isn’t overnight. It’s when every day you get a little better than the day before, it all adds up!”

I enjoy building relationships with people in order to help them discover and develop a healthy and active lifestyle. Having worked in healthcare since 2010, I have seen firsthand the cumulative effects of neglected health, nutrition and physical activity as they contribute to disease.

I enjoy building relationships with people in order to help them discover and develop a healthy and active lifestyle. Having worked in healthcare since 2010, I have seen firsthand the cumulative effects of neglected health, nutrition and physical activity as they contribute to disease.

Drawing on skills developed through education and experience in psychology, counseling, personal training and healthcare allows me to motivate and empower others to build a belief in their own ability to meet challenges and complete tasks successfully.

I love helping people identify and overcome the obstacles, excuses, and distractions in their paths, then work toward significant, long-lasting results. I can’t do it for you, but I’ll be there with you!

Alan
