Open to Members 24/7 Anytime Fitness gym in Shakopee 

Hi! I am a personal trainer here at Anytime Fitness! I'm from Brookings, SD and graduated from Lake Area Technical College in Watertown, SD with an A.A.S. Physical Therapist Assistant degree. During my time in school, I worked at the Anytime Fitness in Watertown and loved it. I have a niche for functional strength training and rehabilitation due to my background in PTA. I have always had a passion for health and wellness and can't wait to help others achieve their goals. My favorite exercise is any variation of a deadlift! My hobbies outside of the gym include cooking, spending time with my fiancé, playing with my dog, and spending as much time outside, when the weather is nice, as possible. If you see me around, come say hi! I can't wait to meet you!

I was born and raised in MN and have lived here my whole life. One of the things I enjoy most is being outdoors. It’s a place where I find peace and mindfulness. When I’m not outside or spending my time with family and friends, you’ll find me in the gym! Health and fitness has been part of my life since I was a kid. My goal is to be able to share my love and knowledge with everyone I work with, and also be a part of such a supportive community! I’m excited to meet you all!

Hey I'm your brand new Infrared Sauna at the Shakopee Anytime Fitness location!

Hey everyone, I'm Tyler! I'm from Portland, Oregon and after spending 11 years in the Navy I settled down in Minnesota. I'm currently pursuing my personal training certifications and am hoping to further my education to place a focus on nutrition as that has been the biggest impact on my fitness journey. I'm excited to join this amazing team and meet you all as you progress through your own journey. When I'm not in the gym I'm usually binging tv shows, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, or reading.

I grew up in Stillwater, MN and currently live in Robbinsdale. When I’m not at the club, I am usually out playing or watching basketball. I also enjoy going on camping and backpacking trips with my girlfriend, Molly, and our dog, Nino. I am studying Kinesiology and have developed a passion for exercise through my own fitness journey. I am so excited to help other people with their health regardless of what stage they are in. You’ll likely see me out on the floor doing some training sessions or waving from the office window when you walk in. Feel free to stop in and say hello!

In my 8+ years of post secondary education in kinesiology, biology, and nutrition, I have developed a deep passion for all aspects of health and wellness. I love functional training, especially anything that involves swinging a heavy weight. My wife Bunny and I were married in July 2020, and we have a beautiful son Teddy (2) and a baby girl on the way! When I’m not spending time with family, I enjoy all things active and outdoors. Being able to work with individuals on a personal level is an amazing experience which continues to inspire me to work to be a better person and coach. That’s why my favorite part about being a coach at Anytime is leading a Small Group training session. People are capable of incredible transformations when they make a commitment to themselves, and I love being able to witness their journey!

I am very fortunate to have worked with over 1,000 clients of vastly different backgrounds, challenges and goals over the past 7 years. My passion is helping people grasp control of their health and accomplish their biggest goals. Seeing people achieve higher levels of confidence and self esteem is the biggest reward. I look forward to meeting you!
