Melissa Ahrens - RocketEX instructor

Boot camp

Mission: Practicing prevention can often make intervention unnecessary. The hardest part of fitness is starting a workout or routine in the first place. Once you begin, allow the energy you feel each time you complete a workout, to be the motivation to push you to continue.

Life outside the Gym: I am a full-time working mom of two beautiful children; a 2 year old and 6 year old. As soon as I get home from work, I start my most rewarding job which is being a parent. Exercise gives me the energy and motivation I need to keep up with them. I often include them in my workouts as well:) In addition to being a mother, I enjoy spending time camping and being outdoors with my husband and children!

Turn Up Dance Fitness

Mission: Self care and self love is so important. Exercise can help not just your physical fitness, but also your overall mental and emotional well being. The hardest part is deciding to do it and to take this time for yourself. I encourage everyone to choose to show up for yourself.

Life outside the Gym: Fitness is an important part of my life both inside and outside of the gym. When I am not working out, I enjoy spending time with my family and my friends. I work in healthcare so taking care of others is an important part of who I am and what I do. Also, music has always been an important component of my life. I listen to all types of music. I enjoy traveling, going to concerts, and I welcome new adventures!
