Anytime Fitness Gym In Cedar Rapids 16th Avenue SW

Cassidy Downs

Trainer

My coaching style is positive, individualistic, and personable. I have my NASM certification and PPSC certification in Pain Free Specialist, focusing on science-based, research-based functional movements with an individualized approach. Weight lifting and hiking are my favorite ways to stay active. The best part of my job is seeing how clients progress and grow on an individualistic level while having a positive environment makes me excited to train everyone every single day. Something you should know about me is that I got my BS in Psychology at UW-Platteville. I am an avid flautist, artist (graphite and charcoal drawings), and rock/metal concert goer (Black Veil Brides is my fav!) . I love using creative outlets to unwind and keep my mind busy.

Noah Burnett

Manager

3 words to describe my coaching style are simple, effective, safe. I specialize in senior citizen training and sports focused training. I love to stay active, by pick-up sports games and hiking. The best part of my job is to watch quality of life improvements happen from the dedication my clients and education from me. I really enjoy the problem solving aspect of my job. No two people are the same, and I love learning and adapting to the individual’s needs. And finally I love educating people on their body and fitness. I am pretty nerdy. Enjoy talking about things that interest me. Was told by a coworker to say I talk A LOT. Did you know a smile takes less muscle, then a frown?

My coaching style is attentive corrective appreciative. My training specialties include strength and endurance training from my background in training athletics at Coe college. I also specialize in being that voice of reason when planning on giving something up you started. I will make you remember your why! My favorite way to stay active is going out running with my husky early morning to get the day started and working out at anytime fitness with my lovely fiancée. The best part of my job is genuinely impacting the lives of each member that walks through my doors by giving them the tools and access to every amenity they need to accomplish their fitness goals! It is the most rewarding part of being an Anytime Fitness family member. Something you should you know about me is that I was once 330lbs and struggling to find my path on my fitness journey so the level of empathy I have for my anytime fitness members is deeply rooted in my very own experiences. If I can do it, they can too.

Working with members to help achieve their goals is what made me realize this is something I love to do. I’ve been a part of the fitness industry for 2 years now and moved up quickly to become an Area Coach of my own clubs.
