Hey, it’s Rachel! I played multiple sports all year round through high school and things changed when I got to college. I have experienced my own ups and downs through the years and strive to help people through their own journey. I went to Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN and got my degree in Health Fitness and Exercise Science with a minor in Coaching. I have been personal training since college. People are a contagious energy for me and the greatest chapter in this journey is seeing YOU get the results you crave. My social butterfly personality works well for my role as a Multi Club Support Specialist for eight locations in the Twin Cities and I can’t wait to see how I can help you! Outside of the gym I love playing with my dog, Wesley, riding motorcycles, quoting FRIENDS, and eating Chipotle.

Hey, I'm Shawn! I started in the fitness industry with Anytime Fitness back in 2015 and it's safe to say I've found my passion! I grew up dreaming of being a doctor, firefighter, or teacher only to realize later in life my true passion revolves around helping people become the best versions of themselves, push past barriers both mental and physical that they never thought they could alone, and learn the why behind what keeps us all going. In my free time I enjoy 3D printing, playing rugby, and the occasional video game binge playing Overwatch or Ark! Everyone's story can grant inspiration in some form, so if we haven't met before, I'd be delighted to get to know yours!

SKOL! My name is Elisha Jackson, but I also go by, “Coach E.” I am originally from St. Paul, MN, but I have lived in North Minneapolis for the past seven years. I have an Associate's Degree in Sports and Exercise Science from Saint Paul College, as well as my NASM PT certification. I currently coach football at North Community High school where I often create and implement circuit training. I have always loved football, but I later realized my deeper passion was the off-season training which lead me down my fitness journey. I love to run hills, summer and winter, and I love HIIT training with my family 3 days a week. Most of all, I love family time on the weekends which typically consists of my wife and I, along with our 3 grown children, watching movies together on the big screen TV. Lastly, I love Vikings! I love Minnesota Vikings, I love the Vikings TV show! Everything purple! Skol Vikings, Skol purple…SKOL ANYTIME PURPLE!!!

Lydia Lahmann-Sharbonda

Trainer

Hello, I’m Lydia! I began my own fitness journey back in middle school and have since developed a passion for all things health and wellness! During my undergraduate time at the University of Minnesota I created my own major through the Inter-College Program titled Health and Wellbeing Promotion Through Nutrition. To receive this degree, I took a variety of coursework in kinesiology, nutrition, and holistic health. In 2022, I got my Master’s in Integrative Health and Wellness Coaching. My biggest goal is to help others become the best version of themselves so they can give their best to the world and feel great while doing so. In my free time I enjoy anything active or outdoors, trying new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family!
