Kelsey has always had a passion for sports and helping others, growing up as a multi-sport athlete. Her own experience recovering from three knee surgeries inspired her to pursue a career in health and fitness. After graduating from the University of Iowa, she gained experience through rehabilitation internships at hospitals, working with the University of Iowa football team, and personal training. She has been training clients at Performance since August of 2017.

Kelsey enjoys working with clients of all ages and ability levels, motivating and encouraging them to achieve goals they never thought were possible while building long-lasting relationships. Her favorite thing about Performance is that there truly is something for everyone, supported by one of the most welcoming and inclusive staffs and communities around.

Outside of the gym, Kelsey enjoys weightlifting, CrossFit, walking, and playing both indoor and sand volleyball. She coaches club volleyball for the Iowa Rockets and is currently in her sixth season. If you catch her working out, she’s probably listening to Taylor Swift, and her go-to coffee order is an iced shaken espresso with sugar-free vanilla and brown sugar.

Her husband is a baseball coach at Coe College, so when she’s not at the gym, you’ll likely find her at the baseball field or on the volleyball courts. She and her husband live in Cedar Rapids with their two Australian Shepherds, Brooks and Banks.
