ABOUT US

I came from the “Big Box” work environment of corporate America. I was overweight, overworked, unhealthy and very unhappy. After recognizing I wanted my life to have more quality health, I made the transition into the world of fitness; first becoming certified in yoga and receiving my 200 HR YTT with Yoga Alliance. I quickly followed that up with getting my Certified Personal Training certification from NASM.

After a few more certifications including TRX and Indoor Cycling, I wanted to ‘marry’ my skillset in business with my new passion, wellness. In 2014, my husband and I started FYSF and opened our first brick and mortar in 2015.

“Ageing is inevitable, but the quality of how you age is totally within your control.” I strongly believe that it is never too late to get in shape and change your life, I know, I have done it. When I turned 50, I reached a personal goal; I was in the best physical shape of my life!

I had spent 23 years in the oil and gas industry, in highly stressful and contentious positions. Most of this time was spent sitting behind a desk, developing bad habits.

Fast forward to Fall of 2013 when I had a life changing illness with a 12 month recovery period. As a result of my long recovery period, I lost my desk job, which became a blessing in disguise! During the next 12 months, I focused on everything fitness. As part of my rehab, I started my yoga practice back up. Yoga helped me recover where I could begin training and i fell in love with it.

I became strong and was hooked on the variety and consistency of fitness and exercise. I lost weight, gained muscle strength and I met a lot of really cool people. I wanted more! I had always enjoyed indoor cycling for a good cardio and endurance workout. In the fall of 2014, I attended the Schwinn Cycling Certification class. I began instructing group cycling classes and loved it.

I wanted to further expand on my health and fitness coaching. I became TRX certified and added Suspension Training classes to my repertoire. I desired more education so I also completed the Functional Aging Specialist through the Functional Aging Institute (FAI). I look forward to training you in a session soon whether it is a group class or 1:1 personal training.

Meet Coach Catharine! You can call her Cat! She moved to Denver after finishing her dietetics program. Shortly after settling in, she began working at a health and fitness center and that is when she began shifting her career focus from clinical work to health and wellness specifically in the training realm.

In the gym environment, she was consistently challenged by her peers, pushing her career and fitness beyond what she had previously believed possible. Discovering new movements and increasing her strength became a source of motivation, and as her confidence and persistence grew in athletic pursuits, it also extended to other areas of her life. She completed her CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, NSCA) and began coaching youth athletes from ages 8-18. Additionally, Cat also got certified as a USA Weightlifting Coach Level 1. Needless to say, Coach Cat is serious about her weight lifting and is passionate about helping people get stronger!

As a former competitive dancer, Tine has always understood the power of movement.

Sasha got her start in fitness the same way a lot of women do — feeling lost, burned out, and stuck in an endless cycle of diets and workouts that never actually made her feel stronger or look the way she wanted to. In 2015, she was deep in toxic diet culture and trying to rebuild herself after an abusive relationship that completely shattered her confidence. Everything changed when she picked up a barbell.

Strength training gave her confidence, structure, and a sense of power she didn’t know I had. It pulled her out of a really hard chapter of her life… and eventually led her into a career she genuinely loves.
Sasha has been a NASM Certified Personal Trainer for almost 9 years, with additional certifications in Sports Nutrition and Women’s Coaching through GGS. She’s worked with men and women ages 16 to 80 and spent 4 years competing in bodybuilding, which taught her a ton about proper lifting mechanics, technique, and how to build real muscle and strength safely and effectively. Over the years, Sasha also became the “shoulder and knee person” because she helped so many clients train around injuries, rebuild strength, and feel capable in movements they were once afraid of.

Her coaching style is patient, encouraging, and detail oriented. She loves working with beginners and intermediate lifters because she remembers exactly what it felt like to start from scratch and doubt herself. Her goal is to make every person who walks into a class feel supported, confident, and like they can do more than they think.
Whether you’re brand new to lifting or getting ready to hit a new PR, Sasha is here to help you feel at home in your body… and actually enjoy the process.

Jeannie’s lifelong connection to movement began long before she entered the fitness industry professionally. With experience in martial arts and competitive cycling, she developed a deep appreciation for strength, discipline, and the confidence that comes from physical capability. These early experiences shaped her belief that movement should be empowering, enjoyable, and accessible to all.

After years of personally navigating the challenge of finding balance, Jeannie discovered the transformative impact of proper nutrition and strength training. This pivotal shift inspired her to transition out of public service and pursue fitness full time, earning her certification as a personal trainer and joining the team at FYSF. There, she found the ideal environment to align her values with her work—helping individuals build sustainable habits rather than relying on short-term solutions.

At FYSF, Jeannie focuses on foundational strength, nutritional consistency, and long-term progress. She works with clients of all backgrounds, from beginners to busy professionals, creating personalized programs that fit seamlessly into real life. Her approach empowers clients to move beyond quick fixes, build confidence, and recognize their own strength—both inside and outside the gym.

Having struggled with poor body image and disordered eating throughout her teenage years, Ashley found a passion for fitness and it has led her down a therapeutic path to wellness. Her personal motto has since become, “It’s not about what your body looks like, but rather about what it can do.” Having completely transformed her mind, body, and soul through movement and intuitive eating, she is passionate about helping other women do the same.

Ashley is a Certified Personal Trainer and Sports Nutrition Specialist through the National Council on Strength and Fitness. She is also a trained kickboxing instructor, and getting sweaty on the bag is one of her personal favorite ways to workout! (She has even worked directly with Billy Blanks to get certified in Taebo!)

When she isn’t at the gym, you can likely find Ashley doing sales and marketing work on her computer, traveling the US for a Phish concert, or curled up in bed watching the Real Housewives with her golden retriever, Maggie.

Ashley is thrilled to be a part of the FYSF community, as she loves working with clients who are new to working out, and ready to jumpstart their healthy living lifestyle!

Bio Coming Soon!

Amber has been engaged in movement and fitness for as long as she can remember through playing soccer, running, hiking, and strength training. It took a while though to sort through the noise of diet and overtraining culture, navigating multiple injuries, and feeling like an imposter in many gyms to land in a place where a relationship with exercise could be nourishing. Since then, strength and cardiovascular training have become medicine for Amber, creating room for alignment physically, mentally, and communally. This is a key reason why Amber has been drawn to work in the fitness world, to support others in finding this same medicine.

Amber’s professional background is primarily in social work, mental health, and outdoor guiding. Working in these areas has shown Amber the incredible way that mental, physical, and community health are interconnected and how important a supportive place to holistically grow can be for overall well-being. These learnings have become central to Amber’s style and values, meeting you as a whole person, where you are at, and working to create an environment where you can grow and belong.

Amber is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and a Wilderness First Responder, and, as a coach, is passionate about supporting people in further connecting to themselves, feeling more confident in their capabilities, and growing their strength and fitness overall. Amber believes in meeting every person with the same attentiveness, encouragement, and care whether this is the first time you are coming into a gym or you are an avid athlete looking to tackle a new challenge.

When not coaching, Amber can be found working as a psycho-therapist, trail running, hiking or backpacking in the mountains, or playing music. Amber also loves spending time with her friends, family, and any and all dogs!

If you told younger Alyssa that she’d one day love working out, she probably wouldn’t have believed you! Growing up, gymnastics was the only sport that really stuck—until she discovered her local gym and quickly became hooked on all things health and fitness. What started as creating workouts for herself turned into making workout plans for friends and family, and eventually led her to think, “Why not make this official?”

After becoming a CPT, Alyssa spent time as both a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. She knows firsthand that walking into a gym or fitness class can feel intimidating, and she loves helping people feel more comfortable, build confidence, and become a stronger version of themselves. Her biggest piece of advice? The hardest part is showing up. Her goal is to help everyone leave feeling like they got 1% better than when they walked in.

When Alyssa isn’t at FYSF, you can find her working in HR, where she gets to make an impact in a completely different way. Helping people grow, feel supported and achieve their goals has always been something she’s passionate about.

Outside of work, Alyssa is usually planning her next trip, signing up to try a new activity (volleyball, pickleball, you name it!), or going on a very long walk. She’s always up for an adventure—and will almost always say yes to trying something new!
