As a former professional modern dancer, I believe movement is integral to happiness. Fitness should help you experience everyday life to the fullest potential. On an Alaska cruise of over 2500 passengers, my family was three of six passengers that felt fit enough to climb to the top of Laughton Glacier. It is my hope as a trainer to help you discover challenging your body through a combination of strength, cardio, and core work leads to the ability to fully experience all that life has to offer. As a former professional dancer who lived and performed in New York City for six years, I feel passionately about helping my clients find that through movement we can age gracefully and participate fully in life.

Fitness Philosophy: Living well doesn’t have to be a chore. Find a training modality you love to do and customize it to fit YOUR lifestyle. Focus on how you feel and you will be unstoppable!
My passion is making connections with people and helping them fall in love with fitness. Health and wellness is a multifaceted field, and I enjoy working with members to customize their workouts and help them achieve their goals. As a teenager and young adult, I suffered from severe migraines. Once I learned the benefits of eating well and working out regularly, I truly understood the power of a healthy lifestyle. At the Y, we have something for everyone! Given our plethora of resources and team of professionals, I am confident in our ability to support our community, build lasting relationships, and create meaningful experiences every time!

Choosing a fitness regime is an important step to a happy and healthy life. As an eight-time marathoner, two-time ultra marathoner, two-time Ironman triathlete and eight-time half Ironman triathlete, I’ve enjoyed the lifestyle that swimming, cycling and running offers. The cross training involved with the three disciplines of triathlon has helped me stay both healthy and happy. Whether it's triathlon, weight lifting or other fitness areas, I enjoy helping people find their passion for fitness, setting goals and then accomplishing those goals. If you love what you do, you’ll do it forever, whether in fitness or life! I look forward to helping you accomplish your goals.

Working out is a huge passion of mine! I started weight training in high school when I joined the football team, and never looked back. I love the way working out feels and the impact it has on health! I enjoy helping others feel the benefits of working out as well. That is why I chose to make Personal Training my career. Spirituality also plays a huge role in my life. I enjoy meditation and learning about how thoughts influence reality! I like to help people who want to make major life adjustments find alternative solutions to once unsolvable problems. I love working at the YMCA because it’s such an inviting and motivating environment. It’s full of like-minded individuals who are all working towards a common goal of self-betterment!

I’ve been in this ever-changing fitness world over 10 years and continue to want to better myself through knowledge and education. Mostly recently, I obtained a certification specializing in “Behavioral Change.” We all struggle to get to the gym or make a workout, I’m here to help you understand it takes: behavior change (cognitive), nutrition and fitness to maintain and create a long lasting lifestyle change.

I was inspired to become a personal trainer while working in childcare at the Y in 2012. Other moms would frequently ask me for fitness advice and I wanted to build a career on teaching people everything I had worked so hard to learn myself in regards to health & fitness. I became certified through ACSM and began training in October 2013. Since then, I have become very passionate about helping people develop their strength and stamina through weightlifting and obstacle course races. I do not believe in excuses. I will train anyone who has the desire to overcome their weaknesses and test their limits. I've worked with elderly, injured, overweight and otherwise challenged individuals and I fully believe that your mind is the main thing that truly gets stronger on this journey. Seeing my clients learn to trust their bodies and become mentally empowered is the greatest reward of being a personal trainer!

I have been a personal trainer for 10 years with the YMCA. I started out as a Wellness Coach and was passionate about finding ways for people to meet their goals. That is what inspired me to become a personal trainer. I have been working out and interested in fitness my whole life. I enjoy football, basketball, and boxing. I have found a way to incorporate this in to my professional life by introducing sports conditioning into my workout routines. I specialize in Athletic Conditioning, getting my clients to reach their full potential on and off the field, court or ring.

Kay-Annie Reid
Though a native of the sunny island of Jamaica, Kay-Annie has lived in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda prior to planting roots in the USA. Her love of sports and fitness began at age three, with her earliest memory being of sneaking away to participate in a community sporting event. From there her teenage years found her participating in numerous track and field events at both the local and national level. It wasn't until her adult years that Kay-Annie participated in her first long distance race which was succeeded by longer distances, ranging from obstacle courses to 10Ks and a half marathon. In 2013, Kay-Annie took her love of fitness to another level, and her most challenging to date when she participated as a Figure Competitor in three bodybuilding competitions locally and internationally within the span of eight months of which she captured an overseas 1st and 4th place in Bermuda, and two NPC amateur 1st and 3rd place trophies in Florida. It was at that moment she decided to make a career change and became a fitness professional. Kay-Annie is highly motivated to assist others to reach their wellness goals by educating and empowering them to use exercise as a base for enriching their lives regardless of age and ability.

Justin Jones, Master Trainer
To truly realize success in a fitness journey, three major components must be present. Traditional mindset is by working out you will achieve your goals, but without appropriate recovery (stretching/massage) and fueling strategies (nutrition) many people will find they fall short. I emphasize all three of these components as evidenced by the large body of educational training and find the results to be much more beneficial and long lasting.

Whether it is to lose weight, feel better or look good we all have the ability to enhance our own quality of life through fitness.

- To determine the best trainer for your needs, please discuss with your Y's Wellness Director.

What exercises will I do with my personal trainer?
- Each client will experience a unique workout specialized to his or her specific fitness goals. It is a good idea to write down some fitness goals and talk about them with your trainer before your first session.
How often should I meet with my trainer?
- While you can meet with your trainer as often as you like, to get the best results, it is better to meet on a regular basis to keep on track with your fitness goals.
