Alena Murgatroyd

Manager

I was born and raised in Southern California and ventured out to Florida for school & softball. I graduated from the University of Central Florida. Now that I have lived and experienced both the west & east coast, I am happy to call Texas my home. My passion is helping others enhance their quality of life through exercise, nutrition, behavior & community! I love being innovative when it comes to coaching and believe that our lifestyle regimens and choices should complement our individuality.

Staff

I was raised in New Boston, Texas and moved to Stephenville to attend Tarleton State University and obtained a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Fitness management. I love working in the fitness industry because I enjoy motivating, helping and watching others reach their full potential and hitting personal goals, and hope to help anybody who walks in with theirs. In my free time I love playing volleyball, being in the outdoors, and being around friends and family.

John (JB) Baier

Trainer

I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana where I lived for most of my life until I moved to West Lafayette to pursue my undergraduate and then my master’s degree. Growing up I was an avid video gamer and huge sports fan. I played baseball for about 10 years and then took up bowling towards the end of my time in high school. My interests lie in understanding human behavior and how we can best help individuals become physically active. In graduate school, exercise psychology was my area of focus and it has allowed me to take the things that I’ve learned about how to best motivate people to be physically active and incorporate them with my clients. I can’t wait to bring everything I’ve learned to Anytime Fitness and help you on your fitness journey!

John Gagnon

Trainer

I was born near Boston, MA but grew up in Chicago, IL. About 7 years ago, I decided that my children and I needed to be healthier. So we started martial arts. During that process, I became an instructor and found a love for helping people get healthier. I know the frustration of being on the weight roller coaster and lost over 100 lbs twice in my life. In the process of becoming a personal trainer, I have learned the strategies that have helped me keep the weight off. Let me help your fitness journey!

I am thrilled to be a part of the Anytime Fitness Leander family! My love for all things fitness and nutrition began in my early 30's. It started with just trying to run down the block without stopping. It progressed into running 5K's all the way to my first full marathon. As I continued to move outside my comfort zone, I discovered that I enjoy strength training, especially the benefits. Being a busy mom of 3 young boys at the time, I soon realized the importance of keeping the commitment to a healthier lifestyle. I was able to accomplish what I had always thought was impossible as a result of having fitness professionals there to teach me what to do and how to do it while keeping me accountable. I have 3+ years of experience coaching clients of all fitness levels helping them reach their goals. Whether it is to get stronger, lose fat, move better, be off medications or to be a healthier and happier version of yourself, I look forward to helping you get there.

Blake Luttrell

Trainer

Austin, Texas born and raised! Apart from my family and friends, the one mainstay in my life would be soccer. I started playing at the age of four and continued all the way through college with the Texas State club team, where we advanced to the national tournament. When my playing career ended, I realized that I wanted to be a part of fitness and sports for the rest of my life. Exercise is the one medicine I can count on daily to lead a happy and self-confident lifestyle. I’m excited to share this with y’all and get to a healthier place together!

Angelica Martinez

Trainer

I was born and raised in San Antonio Texas and was always outdoors playing a sport. Whether it was basketball, soccer, football or racing bikes down the street, I enjoyed it all. My passion for sports and physical activity continued all the way into Highschool. After school I knew nothing about gym equipment and thought that lifting weights was just for men until I went to a strength training class and fell in love with everything, especially with the way I felt after the workout. I knew deep down that I had found my calling. I pictured myself on that platform teaching and helping others find their passion and reach their fitness goals.

Being healthy was NOT always part of my life. I joined Anytime Fitness at almost 300 pounds, but with the support of the staff I turned my life around and became a Personal Trainer. Now I pay it forward, helping people live longer, healthier lives.

I was born in Amherst, Ohio but raised in the great state of Texas! I still make trips up north to see family. I grew up playing sports and played basketball into college. I'm also a head basketball coach for Austin Lady Magic. I want to use my education, training, and experience to better people's lives and educate them in becoming healthier both physically and mentally. I would love to share this same passion with you!
