Meet your health and fitness Coaches

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. 

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.

…out and loves to see how excited clients get when they accomplish something they never thought possible.
Justine continues to further her education at Regis University where she is pursuing a Doctorate in Physical Therapy so that she can continue to heal through exercise. Because of her specialty in body movement and science, she is eager to assist those with injuries and limitations at FYSF. 

Ashley likes to find ways to make fitness fun and interesting for herself and her clients. After years of playing sports and diving further into the fitness world, she decided that she wanted to turn her passions into a career and bring her love for athletics and fitness to others.

Ashley is excited to be a part of the FYSF team because she believes in an all-encompassing and supportive environment that is fun, motivating, and community based. Feed Your Soul Fitness is a place to not only get and stay in shape, but somewhere to meet new people, make new friends, and to build a network of positive support.
Ashley is a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and also is certified with TRX. She looks forward to getting yoga certification in the near future as well.

In her spare time, she enjoys playing soccer, running and biking, and spending time with her boyfriend and their dog Dixie.

and she graduated with honors from Bauman College of Holistic Nutrition and Culinary Arts in 2020. Lizzie also has a B.A. in communications and a minor in marketing from the University of San Diego, and prior to her work in nutrition, she had a career in public relations and marketing.

In her early 20’s, Lizzie dealt with an onslaught of gastrointestinal problems ranging from severe IBS to SIBO, and a bacterial infection in her colon to numerous food sensitivities. She initially dealt with these issues with countless medications, but ultimately searched for a long term solution to address root causes. Over the following years she transformed her diet and lifestyle patterns, which resulted in a healed gut without any pharmaceuticals.
As a nutritionist with a focus on functional medicine, Lizzie supports her clients in learning how to better nourish their physical and mental health through food while re-discovering their relationship to the healing powers of food as medicine..

She has been certified by NASM for two decades and has experience working with all types of individuals, groups, and fitness professionals on their overall health, wellness and professional goals. 

Nicole was a master trainer, educator and manager in the fitness industry in the Los Angeles and New York markets. She was also a performer on both the national and international stage.

Nicole served as a Bilingual Health Coach for a number of small businesses across Colorado and structured award winning corporate wellness programs.

Nicole received her Interdisciplinary Studies Bachelor of Arts in Dance Kinesiology, later titled Dance Science, from California State University Long Beach. She has maintained a National Academy of Sports Medicine personal training certification, Precision Nutrition certification, Wellcoaches certification, and is an American Heart Association CPR/AED Trainer and Working Minds Trainer.

She embarked on her own weight loss & wellness journey and through that experience she realized she wanted to help others achieve their health & wellness goals. Amber has a master’s degree in Applied Clinical Nutrition from the New York Chiropractic College (2015), has been a dancer for over 30 years & a group fitness instructor since 2009. She is a mother of 2 boys & 1 Lhasa Apso/Maltese named Charlee that she adores. She & her family really enjoy the mountains & all of the outdoor activities that Colorado has to offer. 

…so she decided it was time to find some real answers. Starting the path to become a dietitian was initially for her own general knowledge and curiosity. This quickly changed after learning about the extent of the mutual struggles the population had with food choices, food anxiety and just general confusion around nutrition. She decided she wanted to move into an industry that could allow her to help others become more educated and successful with their goals.

Megan strongly believes that diet trends are mostly unsustainable and everyone needs personally tailored regimens, therefore she discourages the one-diet-fits-all approach. She believes the best way for long term success is to implement small sustainable changes over time to create your best possible lifestyle. Megan also has a background with group fitness through memberships and coaching classes. She is currently working towards obtaining her NASM personal trainer certification. Since moving to Colorado she has also accepted a full time position as a health and wellness manager at the YMCA. Ultimately it’s Megan’s passion to help others reach their nutrition and fitness goals.

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!

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

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

“After my third child, I had a lot less time, was older and wasn’t feeling as fit. It was then that I learned the value of interval training and variety in my exercise.”

As soon as she landed in Colorado she became a certified cycling instructor and began teaching. She also joined a cycling group and learned so much from her fellow riders.

Jennifer continues to teach cycling and group strength classes. She also loves Pilates and is currently pursuing intense training in that area to expand her knowledge of how the body moves. Previously she also completed TRX certification and learned Functional Movement techniques. Jennifer has always loved working out for the release and ironically, the relaxation that a good sweat provides. “Over the last 25 years, I have walked into the gym countless times after a long, stressful day with a headache. Never once have I regretted the workout I pushed myself to do. Even a little movement is better than nothing; progress always starts small.”

Jennifer is excited to teach classes at Feed Your Soul Fitness and looks forward to getting to know the people that make up this supportive, committed, fun group! She recognizes that people are at various places in their wellness in relation to everything else that life may bring their way. She hopes to provide a workout that’s encouraging, safe and challenging for people of all levels.

I love coaching. I love the bond that inevitably occurs between the clients and coaches. It’s a feeling like no other when you can make a difference in someone’s life. I am grateful that I get to do something I am passionate about for a living.
