Hey Anytime Family! My name is Nana Asabere and I’m grateful to get to work you all. Fitness has always been a key part of my life as it carries over into many aspects in my life. I enjoy engaging in combat sports, traditional strength training, and calisthenics! Everyone has the right to earn the physique & physical strength they want, and I’ll help you all achieve those goals while having fun!

Throughout my fitness Journey, I’ve lost about 100lbs of fat and gained around 80lbs of muscle. During my process, I have come to really love the fitness industry and helping people reach their fitness goals. I was a 2-sport athlete (football & rugby) back in California. I decided to travel the country right out of high school so i could expand my knowledge in the fitness industry. When I came to Indiana, I became a manager at a local gym and also created my own personal training business. Now I am helping people achieve their goals and be more confident in themselves locally and nationwide! I am glad to be part of the AF family here and I am looking forward to helping everyone achieve their goals!

Hi, I’m Markus! I’ve been passionate about fitness since I was just 8 years old, when my grandpa first introduced me to it—and that passion has only grown stronger over the years. I wrestled throughout high school and now coach wrestling as well. I’m currently studying kinesiology at Purdue University Northwest, and I’m committed to helping others not only get better in the gym but truly thrive in all aspects of life. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or pushing toward new goals, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. Outside of the gym, I enjoy spending time with friends and family and binge-watching TV—The Sopranos is definitely my favorite!

I have always had a passion for exercise and fitness ever since I was little. My dad used to wake me up at 6 a.m. every Saturday morning to do a series of body weight exercises and stretches. He used to push me to do things I never thought I could do, but with time, the impossible became possible. Being a multi-sport athlete growing up, having the mentality of never giving up left me to excel in sports from pee-wee all the way to college. Once in college, I combined my passions for exercise and science which then led me to get my Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science. Knowing how amazing it feels mentally and physically to achieve something I thought was impossible, inspired me to motivate, educate, and support as many people as possible to ensure they experience that same feeling.

I’m so pumped to be a part of your fitness journey! Over the last year I’ve fallen in love with strength training and calisthenics, and I bring that passion with me every day to help create an environment that feels like family. I crushed my first big goal of becoming a 1st   degree black belt at the age of 16 and that experience taught me the values of discipline, support, and community-values I carry everywhere that I go. What matters most to me is getting to know YOU. I want to be a part of celebrating all of your wins (big and small). I am here to walk besides you whether you’re just starting out or chasing your next milestone. When I’m not at the gym, you’ll find me with my 3 kitties and my old man pup-my other little team that keeps me smiling. If we haven’t met yet, come say hi! Let’s get stronger, together. I can’t wait to help you absolutely demolish your goals!
