Connor Lyons CSCS, PES

Winnie comes to us very early in her career. She’s got that can do spirit, and wants to learn everything that she can. She’s young, but I think this kid’s got what it takes to make it in this field! While she doesn’t have any formal education, she’s a go getter and wants to see our clients get the best out of themselves. She work’s a very minimal schedule, but if you see her in the gym make sure you say hello!
