Founder at Siwicki Fitness
I'm the founder and head coach of Siwicki Fitness, an online fitness platform delivering live virtual workout classes to women across the United States. Before launching Siwicki Fitness in 2020, I was a top 1% globally ranked group fitness instructor for Equinox, teaching at their flagship locations in DC, Bethesda, and Tyson's Corner. Siwicki Fitness was built around a simple idea. Women don't need another perfect program. They need one that fits around the life they already have. What sets us apart is the live virtual format. Instructors see members on camera, call them by name, and give real-time feedback. Members range from their 20s to their 70s and average 27 sessions in 8 weeks. I also run The Bridal Bootcamp, a wedding fitness program helping brides prepare for their big day with confidence and strength rather than crash dieting. Personal note: I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 5 and have managed my health through fitness ever since, including playing football at Dartmouth College. I'm available to comment on managing chronic conditions through exercise, virtual fitness, women's fitness across life stages, wedding fitness prep, and the realities of online coaching versus in-person training.

Owner-Director | Personal Trainer | Yoga Instructor | Wellness Writer at Auburn Yoga & Fitness
I’m Gwenn, a freelance fitness-wellness writer, a level-4 ACE-certified* Personal Trainer (25 years), and a certified yoga instructor and coach in California. Physically active as a teen dancer, hotfooting it to the fitness world was in plain sight. After certifying in personal training and group fitness, coaching in a few health clubs became master training turf for my future. Corporate fitness programs followed, which is where I found coaching elegance in the C-suite terrain. I was in two brilliant worlds of learning and teaching. I spent off-hours creating health and fitness newsletters. These broadcasts became my perfect 24/7 digital marketing tool, and I sometimes received the best compliment for any writer: “When is the next one?” In 2008, I opened a yoga-fitness center where I train clients in group and private sessions 4 days a week. Along with that, managing the business demands broader marketing recipes in website maintenance, landing page marketing, and more fitness newsletters, which are all self-executed responsibilities. Running a successful online fitness accessories store for 7 years enabled excellent website design and maintenance skills. My creative side carries outside my fitness center’s four walls. I write about self-improvement, personal training, exercise, and yoga, where I am at peace (and at play!). Recently published articles/contributions include Fit&Well, AskMen, Eat This Not That, and YogaGrit. I'm ready for more. If your wellness project banks on information with integrity -- and a bit of sparkle -- I might be your gal. Shall we chat? My expertise is: - mind-body - senior yoga - group fitness - yoga instruction - mobility training - strength training - women's fitness - personal training - functional training - post-rehab training - special populations - senior fitness and longevity ________________ Websites are: https://GwennJones.com https://AuburnYogaStudio.com Sacramento, CA, USA *ACE CPT (American Council on Exercise)

Startup Advisor and Operations Specialist at The Pilates Circuit
Hi! I’m Tamara, a Certified Pilates Instructor and founder of The Pilates Circuit in NYC. With 9+ years of experience, I specialize in results-driven, athletic Pilates to improve posture, core strength, and overall wellness. I built The Pilates Circuit from the ground up, starting as a solo instructor who simply wanted to train people in a smarter, more intentional way. What began as one private room and a vision quickly became a full-scale, high-performing training brand. I didn’t set out to become an entrepreneur, but when I saw how powerful private, progressive Pilates could be, I knew I had something worth building. Every stage of this business required me to think creatively, lead decisively, and protect the standard I believed in. For two years, I couldn’t hire a single instructor who met the bar I had set. That wasn’t a setback. It was a commitment. I knew the only way to create a truly effective training environment was to build a team that shared the same level of precision, care, and expertise. Today, that team is one of the strongest assets of the brand, and I’m proud to say it reflects years of intentional hiring, training, and leadership. Running a business in Manhattan requires resilience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of what people actually need when it comes to their bodies and their health. It also requires the willingness to rethink traditional models. After COVID, it became obvious that the industry was pushing group fitness harder than people truly wanted. Clients weren’t looking for noise or volume. They wanted attention, connection, and intelligent programming. Recognizing that shift guided some of the biggest decisions I made as a founder and positioned The Pilates Circuit as a leader in private Pilates training. Alongside running the business, I still coach a full roster of private clients each week. Staying on the floor keeps my perspective sharp and rooted in reality. It allows me to bridge movement science with practical, real-world application and ensures that everything we do at TPC is shaped by what actually works, not by trends. As a founder and instructor, I care about clarity, precision, and results. I believe people deserve training that aligns with their goals and empowers them to understand their bodies better. My work combines the mindset of a coach with the leadership of an entrepreneur, and I bring both to every conversation, every client, and every contribution I make as an expert.

Exercise scientist, Founder and CEO and former military medic at Active & Ageless
I am Founder of Active & ageless where we specialise in health & fitness solutions for over 50s. I love what I do and run my business like my life. If it's not scaring me a little i'm not pushing hard enough. Now sometimes I want to be lazy and idle also, and I enjoy it when I do, but I am disciplined enough that it never lasts. I strive to train hard, to work hard and at times simply enjoy life and even rest hard (and this could be surfing 10 foot waves in Fiji or doing a 50km hike). With a background as an emergency nurse, Army medic, and oil and gas industry medic, I’ve spent my career in high-pressure roles. With Active & Ageless, I’m redefining fitness for over-50s—growing to multiple locations and partnering with aged care facilities in just five years. After multiple back surgeries and advice to ‘play it safe,’ I chose the opposite: running ultra-marathons, surfing big waves, boxing younger opponents, and building a business that inspires strength, resilience, and a life without limits.

Co-Founder at Fluid X
Wendy Cheung, Co-Founder, Fluid X Wendy Cheung is the visionary Co-Founder of Fluid X, a company at the forefront of dynamic fitness solutions and instability training. Her journey into this innovative field began during the challenging times of COVID-19 lockdowns. With gyms closed, Wendy initially turned to aqua bags, treating them as traditional weights. However, a deeper dive into their potential revealed a transformative insight: the true power wasn't in filling the bags to capacity, but in embracing the unpredictable, shifting nature of water. This "live weight" effect uniquely challenges the body, training smaller, often neglected stabilizing muscles, leading to greater overall strength, a significantly stronger core, and the ability to lift heavier with reduced injury risk. Driven by this discovery, Wendy immersed herself in extensive research and collaborated with coaches and trainers globally, refining methodologies and gathering critical insights into the nuances of fluid dynamics in fitness. This commitment to practical, science-backed application led to the development of Fluid X's accredited coaching courses, now approved by leading organizations such as NASM, AFAA, and ACE. Wendy's expertise lies in making functional strength accessible and effective. She champions aqua bag training as a versatile, indispensable tool for anyone looking to build true resilience, stay stronger, and be fully prepared for the demands of everyday life, ensuring optimal movement and well-being. Wendy is passionate about sharing insights into innovative training techniques, functional fitness, and empowering individuals and professionals to unlock their full potential through intelligent, adaptive movement.
