Second degree black belt; GATE coordinator

Judith began her Freestyle journey on the martial arts side before transiting to fitness. She ran the entire program as the fitness director here at Freestyle before stepping down to focus on her career with the GATE program. After a year of missing her, we’re so happy that she’s back to teach her favorite classes. Judith’s classes are always high energy and fun, the kind of workout that leaves you drained but exhilarated. Outside work and Freestyle, Judith can be found spending time with family and running her pups in the hills.

Instructor: Fighter PhysiqueThrowdown

Black belt

We hand-picked Chris from our martial arts program, where he’s actively pursuing his black belt, to join the fitness team. Why? He’s disciplined, focused, energetic and a positive guy, and we knew those characteristics would make him great on the mic. And guess what? We were totally right.

Michon

Instructor: Total Body BootcampThrowdown

English Teacher at Galena High School

Michon has been instructing at Freestyle for over 11 years and has earned a reputation for intensity and insane energy. Her classes focus on getting the most out of every student, every time. She embodies hardcore, and her advanced classes set the standard at Freestyle Fitness. While some find Michon downright crazy, you can’t help but admire her passion for working out. Outside of Freestyle, Michon is a running enthusiast. One of her goals every year is to complete a half marathon and beat her previous time, which is no small feat considering she ran her last half in 1 hr 37 minutes! She also enjoys 10ks; the shorter the distance, the faster the pace. Her best time so far? Forty-three minutes! It’s a good thing she has all this energy – with four little boys at home, she’s going to need it!
