Anytime Fitness gym in Wahpeton

My coaching style is "Eat big, lift big." My main training focus is functionality, focusing on movements that are applicable to things we do in our day to day lives. I am always finding new ways to challenge myself. I've done a variety of competitions including powerlifting, strongmen, and a triathlon. Next year I will be competing in my first bodybuilding show (2026). The best part of my job is signing someone up and watching them grow over the months into the best version of themselves. I love seeing the day to day changes that are instilled in my members and the positive impact fitness has on their lives. I have been a NASM certified PT for 6 years now and recently graduated from The University of Iowa with a Human Phys degree.

Hello, my name is Alex and I am from Cedar Rapids and after high school attended UNI. I got to know Anytime Fitness through an internship at the SW Cedar Rapids location. I am now your friendly Fitness Manager! I look forward to meeting everyone at both Cedar Rapids & Marion locations. Please contact me with any questions about fitness or our facilities.

Hello! My name is Nate Kern and I am the Club Manager here at Anytime Fitness in Wahpeton. I am originally from this area and moved away when I was young, I am returning to spend some time with some of the older members of my family. Growing up, I tried every sport my parents would allow. From soccer to hockey, football, baseball, and many others. I always enjoyed the competitive nature that was in each sport. During college, I became fascinated with weight training. I was able to transition my competitiveness into my workouts and keep that same energy from when I played all those sports. My goal as a Club Manager is to provide all our members here with a great experience. To build a community where we all push each other to be the best version of ourselves. My favorite part about my job is when I can see the confidence that working out can create for someone. There is no better feeling than the satisfaction you get from putting in hard work!

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. This has shown me that creating an everyday friendship with co-workers and members is one of the best parts of my job! I’m looking forward to growing our fitness community inside and outside of the gym and helping our members achieve all goals!

My coaching style is motivating and encouraging, connecting on an individual level. I specialize in helping people that struggle with motivation reach their fitness goals. Over the years I’ve struggled with motivation myself, it’s something that I still work on today. I can definitely relate to the challenges and nothing feels better than seeing my clients overcome it. My favorite way to stay active and healthy is to not to miss any day at the gym. Things happen, if I do miss. I try really hard not to miss 2 days in a row. I also enjoy sports and spending time with my dog too! My favorite part about my job is seeing people accomplish things that they didn't think they could do. I love seeing customers proving their limitations wrong! I am originally from Venezuela. Spanish was my first language. In my younger years, I played soccer, football, baseball and even ran a half marathon in Chicago.
