Hi, My Name is Carter Petsche! My coaching style can be summed up in three words: adaptive, motivational, and directive. I specialize in strength training, functional training, and athletic training, helping individuals build a strong foundation while improving performance. When it comes to staying healthy, I like to keep it simple—hitting the gym and going for long walks are my go-to methods for maintaining both physical and mental well-being. The best part of my job is witnessing people progress and push their limits, achieving things they never thought possible. I studied Exercise Science at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, where I was also a student-athlete on the baseball team. My background in athletics has shaped my coaching approach, emphasizing discipline, resilience, and smart training strategies.

My passion for health and fitness came about two years ago when I hit the highest weight I had ever been! After doing research and getting to the gym, my passion for it grew even stronger when I was able to lose 65 pounds and manage it! I love couching and helping the people around me achieve their fitness goals and overall health. Getting someone else to feel more confident about themselves is my passion! Let me teach you everything I learned! It starts with one foot in the door! I can’t wait to meet you!

My coaching style is supportive, results-driven, and motivating. My training specialties are functional movement, accountability, and habit building, fat loss. My favorite way to stay active and healthy is through strength training, outdoor activities, staying consistent, and fueling my body well. The best pat of my job is watching members gain confidence, hit goals, and realize they’re capable of more. I’ll hype you up, push your limits, and celebrate every win—big or small. I am an athlete at heart, craft addict, goal-crusher, and full-time animal lover! Consistency beats perfection every time! Bring the energy, crush your goals, and let’s celebrate YOU! I genuinely care about my members and meet them exactly where they are. I’m passionate about creating a supportive, welcoming community.

I am Jess! My fitness journey started 14 years ago as a stay at home mom looking for a way to lose baby weight and get out of the house. I had the crazy idea to start playing roller derby. What had originally started as a fun hobby, turned into an obsession with health and fitness. I am a competitive athlete that currently plays for a WFTDA team, Ann Arbor Roller Derby, ranked 9th in the region and 38th in the world. I have worked in gyms for nearly a decade, both in management and as a CrossFit trainer. When I'm not at the roller rink or gym, you can find me at the skatepark on the halfpipe. Watching people reach their goals and accomplish things they never thought possible is the number one motivator that keeps me going!

Hello, my name is Steve Kurschner and I’m from Livingston, Montana. I’m the regional manager for gyms in North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington clubs. I studied Exercise Science at Montana State University in Bozeman and health and fitness has been a huge part of my life since I was young. It’s super important to me for not only physical but mental health. I love working here because I get to help everyone on their fitness journey and make a difference in their lives.
