My name is Kelly Young, and I have been teaching group exercise classes for 20 years. I am a certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I also have my Masters in Public Health (MPH) with a concentration in Work-site Health Promotion. In addition to my extensive experience teaching group exercise classes, I have managed corporate, government and commercial fitness facilities and health promotion programs. It is my personal belief that exercise is the absolute best way to improve your physical health and happiness, and I love helping people achieve their goals. I pride myself on encouraging people to think positively while challenging them to push the limits of what they think is possible -- hence my slogan "Get What You Came For." I've spent much of my career teaching group exercise classes in studios and at gyms. When my father passed away from a rare neurological disease in 2008, I decided to do a fundraiser to support research. In November 2008, I was shocked by the number of people that were willing to join me for what I called "Black Friday Boot Camp" to support MSA. Both the participants and I found exercising outdoors to be liberating and energizing. I quickly decided that this was something I wanted to try again. On March 1st, 2009 I started my first Boot Camp Program. The objectives for my program were to get people to exercise (especially those that wouldn't otherwise), make it affordable, require accountability, and to have fun. While my dad may not have looked favorably on working out in a parking lot, I know he would be proud of what I have accomplished. From his example, I learned to work hard, take risks, and most importantly, do something that you are passionate about. I love what I do, the people I have met, and the transformations that I have been able to share in. I also love knowing that my father gave me the power to begin such an important venture. Hot or cold, rain or shine, you'll find us pushing our bodies in the fresh air. The hard work and dedication of those that have attended classes has resulted in some dramatic body transformations and true life changes. I'm proud to say that I've had a small role in their success.
