Emily Evans,  BS Exercise Science, ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Functional Aging Specialist

Emily has been working with us since 2016.

Emily graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and obtained her personal trainer certification from the American Counsel on Exercise. In college she helped train athletes to improve strength and agility and educated them on proper lifting form and injury prevention. After college she was a trainer at a physical therapy clinic where she worked with a broad range of individuals from an elderly patient with chronic back pain to a young athlete post knee surgery.

She always had a passion for fitness and loves being able to help others understand that it’s never too late to get started with a healthy and active lifestyle. Working in a physical therapy clinic helped her see that a sedentary lifestyle can lead to pain, surgery, and medication. You only get one body and taking the time to take care of it is the best thing you can do for yourself! Her goal is to design fun and effective workouts for my clients and to educate them on a healthy lifestyle so they can continue do all the things they love whether that’s traveling, hiking 14ers, or keeping up with grandkids.

As a trainer she is constantly learning. She loves to try new workouts and different forms of exercise to build her knowledge and to keep things new and fresh for her clients. Her current challenge is learning to cook and to finding new and simple recipes that are healthy and delicious. In her words: “My career is a constant journey and I love every moment of it!”

Jeena Carson, BS Exercise Science, ACE Certified Personal Trainer

Jeena has been working with us since 2023.

“I always knew exercise was medicine. Growing up with sports in my life –  and playing volleyball and basketball in college –  exercise became my outlet. When I didn’t have it, my health paid for it. After receiving the opportunity to work in Physical therapy clinics and various hospitals, I was able to see drastic positive changes in individuals’ health and wellness when they exercised properly. Unfortunately, I also saw the consequences when they avoided exercise entirely or didn’t exercise correctly which resulted in injuries. Knowing I made a difference sharing my knowledge and motivating others to better their life, I was inspired to make a larger impact, leading me to get my Personal Training Certification. I always strived to know what my purpose was in life- And in Personal Training I now found it.”

Katerina Salsman, BS Exercise Science, NASM Certified Personal Trainer

Katerina has been working with us since 2024.

Originally from California, I graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Exercise Physiology. I have always been physically active due to playing sports. When team sports weren’t in my life, I experienced a change in my physical health. Through my own resolution to achieve better health and physical capabilities, I took on weight lifting and running for myself. These factors helped me achieve my own fitness and weight loss transformation. Having had such a powerful experience that affected many different aspects of living in a positive way, I became immensely passionate about the human body and helping others achieve their own health goals. I sought out a degree in exercise physiology and have been a personal trainer ever since!
In my career as a fitness instructor I have had the benefit of not only working in fitness facilities, but also physical therapy clinics. This unique perspective has given me experience in injury recovery and even more so injury prevention. I specialize in corrective exercise as a way to not only correct movement patterns so that exercise is more effective, but also to help people train in a way that will sustain them over their whole life. With that in mind, I love to help people customize their workouts to suit their specific needs and goals so that they can sustain activities that fulfill them in their life and give them happiness.
I enjoy many different forms of exercise and always love learning new techniques. From strength training, to running and hiking, to working on mobility and flexibility, I believe they all have their place in providing a beneficial practice and stimulus to the body and mind. Through personal training, I love teaching and showing people they are so much more capable than they sometimes think they are. My biggest reward is watching clients surpass their own expectations and see the results of their hard work over time.
