My coaching style utilizes the mind-body connection. My training specialties focus on form and technique over all else. My favorite way to stay active and healthy is going on walks in the sun around the lakes. The best part of my job is meeting so many vibrant personalities. I've dabbled in many forms of fitness martial arts to dancing. Did you know that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best is today!

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!

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 coaching style is motivational, hard, and energetic. My training specialties are motivational talks and humor. My favorite way to stay active and healthy is by doing activities outside of the gym on weekends. The best part of my job is seeing people reach their goals. Something you should know about me is that I play competitive rugby for a team in Rochester, MN. Did you know… Finding the right balance between your fitness and life and your personal life is the best way to have a healthy mind and body. You can't have one without the other.

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!

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!

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.
