Fran Julien

Fitness Coach

  • Fitness Coach
  • CPR/AED

Fran has had her own transformation story before us and with us. She has transformed from the inside and out.

She understands all too well the commitment, the discipline, getting guidance and what it takes. That’s one the reasons he decided to become a personal trainer, so he could help other’s do the same.

One of the other reasons, she just loves fitness and what it has done for physically & mentally. She is one strong woman.

You will feel her passion and big heart in every session!

 

Michele Musto

Fitness Coach

  • Fitness Coach
  • Yoga Instructor
  • CPR/AED 
  • Triathlon & Run Coach
  • Foam Roller Expert
  • 7+ Years Experience in the Fitness & Health Industry

She came to us in 2012 as a client. One of the quietest in the room. She had conquered her own weight loss of losing 60lbs, but that was just the beginning. She was a avid runner, but saw the missing link to having strength & conditioning to her fitness plan. She decided to see what we were all about. She loved the convenient times at our studio, the style of our workouts and the nutrition guidance we offered. She took to it so fast and decided she wanted to INSPIRE  & ENCOURAGE others (always aspired to inspire others); never dreaming that becoming a fitness trainer was the avenue she would take.

She loves being a student of proper form and efficency of movement.

Fast forward to today…She was joined our team and coachings our group training, triathlon team, run club, yoga and she wholeheartedly believes and lives the programs we teach for health, nutrition, and fitness at Get a Grip Total Fitness. She embraces our Mission to EMPOWER others to maximize their full potential and believe nothing is impossible.

She is not only a coach with us, but one of our biggest transformations both inside and out.

She continues to learn and grow as a trainer and person. She is no longer the quietest in the room; what a great journey!

She likes to invite you to join us in your own journey.

 

Gazelle Stevens

Fitness Coach

  • Fitness Coach
  • Administrative Assistant
  • CPR/AED 
  • Pilates Instructor
  • Barre Instructor
  • 5+ Years Experience in the Fitness & Health Industry

She started at the studio as a member in 2013 when she  tried our Signature 21-day Belly Blast Program and she said she knew right away that this gym was different than any other place I’d worked out at before.  The atmosphere was inspiring and more like a family than a gym.

She have been active her entire life, playing softball and running track in high school, then working out at gyms as she got older and when life got too crazy, she ran on her treadmill or do fitness DVD’s at home.

After being a member with us a few years, she became our adminstrative assistant (Get a Grip’s Happiness Caretaker). This gave her an opportunity to get to know people even more, their journeys and fitness goals; she was inspired to get certified and teach. She added along the way pilates and barre to offer to our fitness family (I love to see all our trainers grow into their passions when it comes to training and their lives).

She always says  how very appreciative of the opportunities that Get a Grip has afforded her as a member and trainer, and looks forward to sharing her experience and expertise with our current members, as well as our future members to be.
