Kyra
NASM-Certified Personal Trainer & 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher
As a former athlete, NASM-certified personal trainer, and 200-hour registered yoga teacher, Kyra brings a thoughtful, well-rounded approach to fitness and wellness. Her philosophy goes beyond the gym, focusing on the connection between movement, strength, nutrition, recovery, and the habits that support long-term health.
Before becoming a fitness professional, Kyra spent eight years as a public school teacher. That experience shaped her approach to coaching and gave her a natural ability to meet people where they are, break down complex concepts, and create an environment where clients feel supported and empowered. She ultimately left the classroom to pursue her passion for helping people through their own health and wellness journeys.
Kyra believes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness. She takes the time to understand each client's individual goals, lifestyle, experience, and starting point, then creates intentional, sustainable programming designed to build strength and confidence over time. Her approach incorporates purposeful workouts alongside everyday movement and realistic nutrition choices — helping clients create changes they can maintain well beyond their time in the gym.
Kyra also has experience working with clients navigating a wide range of starting points and life stages, including returning to exercise after an injury, beginning a new movement routine, or staying active and strong throughout the perinatal period. She brings patience, encouragement, and a strong understanding of individualized programming to every client.
Whether you're looking to build strength, improve your relationship with movement, establish healthier habits, or feel more confident in your body, Kyra's holistic and personalized approach can help you create a foundation for lasting change.
