“As a single mom I wanted to be strong enough to move heavy things by myself, and by the second month I felt like I could already do so much more around the house and yard. Seeing the steady results month after month kept me motivated to stick with it and 2 years later I’m still shocked at how strong I am, how great I feel in my body and how much I love the workouts. Kelsey is so kind and patient, she is so knowledgeable and good at training I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Working with Kelsey was hands down the best investment of my time and money that I’ve made in the past few years.”

“I came to Kelsey's gym with a background in sports and athletics, but without the knowledge of how to best pursue strength and fitness as a 30 year old adult woman. She took the time to really listen to my goals and vision for my health and fitness and generate customized programs specific to my needs, prior injuries and on the go lifestyle. HIGHLY recommend hiring Kelsey as your coach!”

Allison Slater

“I have joined a lot of gyms in my lifetime and hired a lot of trainers. I have never had as positive an experience as I had when I was training with Kelsey. Working with her, I discovered that she has quite a few super powers which make her a perfect fit as a coach. She fosters such a sense of community that you instantly feel part of a tribe. That tribe consists of people in every conceivable stage of a personal fitness journey. When you meet her you will think to yourself, “wow. She really gets me.” And you’ll be right, because she does. She knows the things we tell ourselves that keep us stuck, because she’s thought them all too. She knows what she needs to say to motivate you because she took the time to understand you. She’ll help you find your ‘why’ if you haven’t already found it, and your goals are her goals. She’ll talk you through every perceived defeat and she’ll celebrate every victory right alongside you. If you want a trainer who inspires you with compassion, authenticity, and pure grit- you won’t be sorry you signed on with her.”

“The last 2.5 years working with Kelsey has been vital to my fitness journey. Prior to working out with Coach Kels, I had very little knowledge or confidence to feel comfortable picking up some weights and working out. Kelsey encouraged me along the way, helping me build a strong foundation in proper technique and understanding the basics of working out. Kelsey helped challenge me along the way, through pregnancy and through postpartum helping me feel safe and confident in my ability to workout. I am so grateful for her holistic approach - recognizing that our physical mental and spiritual health are all deeply connected AND also making sure we all eat our breakfast. I am stronger, faster, and less hungry as a result of working out with a Kelsey. Best coach around.”

"I had the privilege of training with Kelsey Wake for the past 2 .5 years, and she is truly exceptional. Kelsey has an incredible ability to meet you where you’re at and guide you toward achieving your goals with a perfect balance of encouragement and expertise. Her positive attitude toward fitness and nutrition makes it easy to stay motivated and show up consistently. Thanks to her guidance, I’m the strongest I’ve ever been—even stronger than when I played college softball. As someone who just turned 40, that’s something I’m incredibly proud of. Kelsey’s dedication to her clients and her personalized approach make her a standout trainer. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to improve their fitness, health, and overall confidence!"

After a few months of spending time in the gym, I quickly realized I also needed to focus on the food I was taking in. I wasn't getting enough calories to sustain myself. Kelsey helped me move from the toxic mentality I had around food. She worked with me on foods that would help fuel my body.

Kelsey also was great when I would give her feedback when I was struggling with minor health issues- such as being anemic. I was always met with a 'we can do this together' and 'I am here for you' in real tangible ways.

Hands down I would recommend hiring Kelsey Wake! When I started strength training I couldn't squat more than a 20lbs kettle bell and after a year I built myself up to 200lbs with a bar! LITERALLY GIDDY UP! Incredible! I am so proud of putting in the work, showing up for myself, and how Kelsey brought her knowledge and expertise EVERY DAY! I also have to say that the community she created in and out of her gym gave me such wonderful friendships and accountability. MIC DROP. This woman is a gem and she will challenge you, and you will be better for it.
