Morgan Dezellem
My fitness philosophy began with growing up on the sidelines of my dad’s rugby games. I learned that exercise can be fun, it is an outlet for stress, has many brain benefits, and can lead to life-long friendships. Exercise benefits far surpass aesthetics and weight loss. My hope is that you don’t quit moving once you start! Your fitness journey is about challenging yourself, setting goals-meeting them-and then surpassing them, if you chose. It is about getting to know your body… and understanding that exercise is essential in achieving optimal health, especially as you age! Whatever your current physical status is, exercise, or MOVEMENT of some kind, needs to be a fundamental part of all our lives. I am here to help you learn how to move well, enjoy it, and accomplish goals.
I love working with clients who:
– want to gain strength, muscle tone, achieve weight loss, and to reach a specific goal
– want to decrease pain
– want to increase functionality and movement capacity
– I really enjoy working with seniors, moms, and anyone getting back into the gym

Kristy Grover
My fitness philosophy is motion is lotion. We need to keep moving our bodies so all of our parts and pieces keep moving correctly. My niche is anyone who wants to have fun while working out. I do work well with the senior population here at Cascade. I can also teach adult swimming lessons or stroke proficiency for all swimming strokes. My fitness inspiration in my mom. She has battled cancer and has a run streak that is unheard of. I also am completely inspired by my long time and new clients that have gone through injuries, cancer or major medical issues but they continue to put their health on the front burner and keep coming back.
I work with individuals looking to improve their range of motion, mobility and balance. I work well with the senior population. I also specialize in training swimmers and runners.

I love working out and being in the gym; and I love to share that passion and knowledge with others. Physical fitness has the power to affect your whole person (body and soul) in a positive way. If you have goals to lose weight, build muscle, push your limits or simply feel good, training can be a great doorway to that. No matter what stage you find yourself in, having some knowledge behind your movement can really make your efforts count! I believe in exercise and fitness (especially resistance training) and I’ve found a home here, I can help you find that too!
I work to help people to:
– Build a strong base through resistance training.
– Develop basic functional movements, mobility and conditioning.
– Build muscle for hypertrophy and physique development
– Anyone who wants to learn and move toward a fitness goal!

Tommy Kent
What started as a simple goal to do set of pull-ups has changed my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. It began an incredibly rewarding journey that I can’t imagine my life without today. The obvious physical changes to come were just the tip of the ice berg, what I found beneath the surface has inspired me to dive deep into helping others be what they’ve always known they can be. People often think of training as being purely physical when in reality it’s so much more. The deep confidence one can forge through physical fitness is sure to positively transform the way they view and interact with the world around them.

“If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.” – Unknown
I believe this applies in every area of our lives, including fitness. In order to achieve all our fitness goals, we must first develop a strong, healthy foundation including how we move, what we eat, and the thoughts that we think. Initially when I began my fitness journey, I was just trying to keep up with my brothers and focused mainly on how much I could lift. I have since learned that there is so much more to fitness than the amount of weight that we can lift and I am excited to help you make small, lasting changes, that in the long run will help make fitness an enjoyable and sustainable part of your lifestyle.
