MEET COLLEEN! | For U Fitness | Trainer Thursday

Hello everyone! My name is Colleen, I am 24 years old and I hope you're ready to feel and look your personal best! My mission as a personal trainer is to enable you with all the tools necessary to successfully achieve and maintain your individual physical and lifestyle goals.

I graduated from Western Washington University (WWU) in 2018 with my Bachelors in Kinesiology, and a specialization in Health and Wellness. I am a firm believer that psychology plays a large role in our overall health, so I decided to pursue a Minor, in order to understand the needs of my clients on a more personal and individualized level. Nutrition is another area that can sometimes hold us back from feeling the best we can on the inside, which I believe is even more important than what the scale may say. I have learned a great deal through nutrition, and the more I learn, the more my intrigue grows.

Given my well-known love for food my entire life, this did not come as a surprise to my family. Eventually, I would love to attend graduate school to receive a Masters in Nutrition and further my knowledge in that area. I am also a part-time Health Fitness Specialist in Redmond, Washington for a company called EXOS, who specializes in human performance. I help the employees of the Nintendo Headquarters to reach their lifestyle goals by instructing group fitness classes and personal training. I currently have my EXOS Fitness Specialist Certification and am now working to achieve the EXOS Performance Specialist Certification. 


I am the youngest of four girls in my family, and I know what you're thinking... “Your poor Father”. Rest assured, my mom always says my dad deserved everything for how terrible of a kid he was growing up. Either way, I survived my childhood and have no shortage of hilarious memories and stories to show for it. I was technically born in Indianapolis, Indiana, but my family moved to Spokane, Washington when I was one year old and we have lived there ever since. Also, if there are any UW Huskies fans reading this, no need to worry...I am no Cougars fan!

On a typical day off you can find me relaxing at home, while indecisively trying to choose between watching The Food Network or Friends (for the millionth time).

I fell in love with the game of soccer at 6 years old, and have not stopped playing since. One of the greatest accomplishments in my life was winning the NCAA National Championship for Division II Women's Soccer in 2016, with my soccer team at WWU. One thing I've learned from playing soccer over the years is that having a cheerleader by your side can give you the motivation needed to work harder than you thought you ever could.

I want to be able to leave you with the knowledge and skills you need to confidently keep your body in optimal health. Every body is created differently, and therefore what it takes to help each person needs to be different as well. I take pride in helping people feel their greatest because I believe that how you feel on the inside affects the way you view and enjoy life everyday.
