Meet Your Phoenix Team

I am originally from Clemson, SC. While in high school I set the school and state records for the most yards passing in a single season. I also set several state records in track & field.   I left to attend the University of Nebraska and become a Cornhusker.  While participating in both football and track & field I set school records in the 40y dash, 55m Dash, 60m Dash, 100m Dash, 200m Dash, 4x100m Relay, and the 4 x 400m Relay.  After college I spent 10 years running for NIKE International Track & Field Team and Team USA. At different points in time I have held the world's fastest time in the 100m dash and 4x100m Relay. I have competed in 3 Olympic Trials and was an alternate in the Olympic 100m dash. Since retiring from football and track & field I have excelled in martial arts training.  I am currently a 3rd Degree Level 4 Black Belt in Taekwondo.  I am Certified as a Personal Trainer, Nutritionist, and Speed/Agility Coach. I know speed. I know strength. I know agility. I know excellence.  If you're up to my challenge, train like the Phoenix and Always Rise.

 Hi!  I'm Joni.  Although I don't have a long list of athletic achievements, I do have an extreme passion; passion for health and weight management.  There is nothing more rewarding than helping others reach their potential and watching them exceed their own expectations.  I am Certified as a Personal Trainer, Group Trainer, and Nutritionist in Weight Loss.  I hope to bring some creativity and fun to your workouts.  I love dance and high energy so you better eat your Wheaties.  Each of my training sessions is designed for all fitness levels.  Everyone can and will benefit.  The moment you walk in you have given yourself a chance to succeed.  If you're up to the challenge, come train like the Phoenix and Always Rise.     

I am originally from Humphrey Nebraska. I grew up playing good ole’ 8 man football in a small

town, breaking weightlifting records at Humphrey St. Francis. After high school, I joined the

United States Marine Corps. The Marines instilled discipline and a never quit mindset. When I

got out, I knew I wanted to stay strong and healthy. Encouraging others to become strong and

healthy is something I am most passionate about. There is nothing better than a sweat soaked,

dead tired, awesome time in the weight room. My passion is lifting weights and I am a certified

Powerlifting Coach, Personal Trainer, and Strength & Conditioning Coach. If you're up to the

challenge, come train like the Phoenix and Always Rise.

“ To the weight room!! ”

Welcome to Phoenix Fitness & Training! My name is Melanie. While growing up I excelled for 2 years in high school gymnastics, the flag team, and was also captain of the dance team. For many years now I have personally enjoyed fitness and made my own transformation but had seemed to plateau in my fitness goals. Phoenix Fitness gave me inspiration to become a personal trainer and here I am today to forever grow, learn and rise! I've finally found where I belong and I love what I do! I enjoy assisting and watching people achieve their goals and dreams and being a part of it. Fitness is not always about the mirror, it has so many more benefits than that! I love to have fun in class and during training sessions, so come join us and train like a Phoenix and Always Rise!

I am originally from Lincoln, NE and I recently joined the Phoenix team.  Travis is my dad and has "trained" me since I can remember.  While growing up in Lincoln I participated in Track & Field for South Lincoln Track and the Lincoln Jets.  As a 12 y/o I had the fastest 100m dash time in Nebraska.  That was awesome.  I have also attained my Black Belt in Taekwondo.  Come see us at the gym and don't forget our meal planning to help you reach your goals.  As always, train like the Phoenix and Always Rise.
