Coach

Melanie La Forest

From a young age, Melanie had a natural passion for sports. She grew up as an athlete, playing as many sports as she could- soccer, cross country, volleyball, basketball, swim, etc. When high school sports came to an end for she was confronted with a difficult transition. Her passion quickly turned to a chore and she struggled with her body image. After being forced to face the unhealthy view she had on exercise and body image, she made a decision to begin showcasing her new journey with healthy lifestyle types & workouts on social media.

What once started as a place for accountability turned into a family. She began to see just how much she could use her passion to help others navigate their fitness journey. She quickly got her NASM personal training certification. Melanie strives to make a lasting impact with as many people as possible through spreading her infinite knowledge and experience in health & wellness.

Maddie Tatara

Since Maddie was younger, she has always been involved in physical activities of some sort. She did gymnastics as a little kid, but ultimately ended up playing travel softball for about 12 years. Maddie ultimately decided to stop playing sports her junior year of high school as she was suffering with severe burnout. She entered college not playing sports or lifting weights, but during COVID, regained a bit of her passion for working out. When the gyms opened back up she began going with her best friend as a means to get out of the apartment and move her body during lockdown. From there Maddie truly dove into her fitness journey and began to take weight lifting seriously. After college graduation she decided to fulfill a life goal to run a long distance race, and ended up training for her first marathon in the summer of 2023. As her fitness journey has become very serious in the past year, she plans to work on obtaining her NASM Personal Training Certification to continue growing her knowledge.
