Dex Larsen

Trainer

Hey everyone! My name is Dex Larsen and I am a current student athlete at Wayne State College. I am originally from Blair, NE, and I fell in love with training in my early high school days there. I am passionate about becoming the best version of myself possible, and I strive to help others do the same. My favorite part about training is the confidence you gain from achieving things you didn't think were possible. There is nothing more fulfilling than becoming a little bit better than your yesterday self, and I hope to help everyone achieve this through positivity, motivation, and enthusiasm. The inclusive community here at Pender Anytime Fitness is unmatched as we all want the best for each other. I hope to become an integral part of your fitness journey to help you reach whatever goals you're reaching for!

Owner

As a trainer by trade, I am very passionate about helping others find health and happiness in life. The two are very much intertwined. I believe that your body is in many ways like a vehicle. It is much more than just getting in and driving. In order to run optimal you must start with proper fuel and get regular service. Shifting to your body you must give your body proper fuel, balanced workouts, enough hydration as well as sleep. Health and happiness are countering the stressors in life with workouts at the gym. Every vehicle and person will break down from time to time. Take a look at a flat tire; you either remain where you are as you can't go anywhere with a flat, or call for help to get you back down the road. Although I cannot fix a tire, I love helping others see and experience what their bodies are capable of. I make a goal to help you achieve a heathy, happy and balanced lifestyle that will minimize the risk of future breakdowns.

Ashley McQuistan

Owner

Hello! I am one of the owners of the Pender location. Let me share how my story began. I walked into this gym back in 2019 not having a clue about anything fitness. The owner at that time paired me with a trainer and I started my fitness journey. My trainer taught me everything I know and I worked with her for over two and a half years. I then became an expert and continued down the road solo. Since then, we became best friends, worked out together all the time, and now are business partners! My advice to new members or someone wanting to become a member is simple..... Do NOT be afraid to walk through that door and INVEST in yourself!! Nobody is going to do it for you! It really isn't that scary when you have a whole community behind you cheering you on!
