Management Team:
Getting to know Deana:
I have my Masters Degree in Exercise Science and am a certified Performance Enhancement Specialist through National Academy of Sports Medicine. Personal training, teaching SPINNING and senior fitness has been a great passion of mine, and I have trained at Fitness Experience since 1998. My specialties are injury prevention, post rehabilitation, and weight loss. My hobbies include: hiking, biking, and playing with my Saint Bernards. Getting to know Brenda:
I started my career in fitness 10 years ago when I was tired of being unhealthy and out of shape. I joined my first gym hoping to just get healthy. I began teaching group fitness classes within a couple of months of joining, and then made it into a career choice. I enjoy working with people who are trying to make lifestyle changes and healthy choices. I teach several of our group fitness classes and am a full time personal trainer. In my off time, I really enjoy cycling, running, hiking, and most of all bike racing. Most weekends I am off on some great adventure. Customer
Service Representatives: Getting to know Adam:
I have been working at Fitness Experience for 5 ½ years and enjoy the meet-and-greet
part of my job with all of our members. I enjoy hunting, scouting, hiking, camping, working out, watching movies and taking
naps. I spent 3 years active duty service in the Army on the east coast before moving back to Oregon to finish College.
Group Fitness Instructors: Getting to know Derryl:
I have been leading Spin and Body Strength classes for Fitness Experience since
2003. I enjoy very high-energy Spin sessions coupled with powerful music mostly gleaned from gym members (I love to get suggestions
for good songs), and I am known for using my odd sense of humor to help members push through some intense exercise. I am also
known as “Mr. Jennifer” because I am married to another instructor at Fitness Experience, Jennifer James. Getting to know Jennifer:
I have been teaching Plyo (Pilates and Yoga mix) and Spinning for Fitness
Experience since 2006. I enjoy several kinds of dance, and try to incorporate bits of each kind into my Plyo class for a fun
twist. In my off time I enjoy hiking, biking and dancing. I also enjoy gardening while my husband Derryl works on our old
house. We are expecting our first child in August 2008.
Getting to know Nicole:
My name is Nikole Madriaga. I have been involved in the fitness industry since
1998. I have been a personal trainer as well as an aerobics instructor. I have taught Step Aerobics, Kickboxing,
Resistance Training and Cycling. My favorite class to teach, by far, is Step. I also enjoy running and have participated
in a few Half Marathons. I am a stay-at-home Mom and thoroughly enjoy my time at the gym. My hobbies include reading,
watching movies, spending time with my family in any way possible, as well as fitness. Getting to know Michelle:
I have worked out at Fitness Experience since September of 1999, and began teaching
spinning classes in May of 2005. I am a natural professional body builder through the WNBF, and thoroughly enjoy the competitive
process of body building. I am also an avid cyclist (both mountain and road). My training for both disciplines allows me to
develop and teach spin classes that are geared toward strength, speed, and endurance. I look forward to seeing you in my class!!
