eroy Seans
As a qualified personal trainer and sports nutritionist, I have been working mainly at the Switch Playground where I train group classes while my personal clients feel the wrath of a killer personal program specialized for them. I specialize in boxing. Starting from the ripe old age of 16, I have been able to hone this skill and have been able to use it to train clients in self defense as well as for fitness. I hope one day the fitness industry will be a safe space for people to feel confident in their bodies and I hope to help people reach their own personal goals.

Group exercise is really dear to my heart because this is where I can enjoy fitness but at the same time everyones’ passion for fitness ignites everyone around me and this brings fulfillment to me because transformation is taking place within them and myself. The energy from everyone around me motivates me to do better in my exercising but most of all we’re all in it together. The reason why I love group exercise is because I love the interaction between everyone and that we can all motivate one another at the same time and work together. We are all striving for the same in a class and the energy from every member is amazing.

Kayla Harke
Hi! My name is Kayla, and I believe that your health is key to a happy life.
I’ve found with my fitness journey that it’s as important to find what makes you and your body happy.
This includes moving to the music, HIIT, and sometimes a little less impact, like water aerobics.
Stretching and mobility are also super important to me as this aids in gaining better range of motivation, flexibility, and strength.
