NASM Fitness Nutrition Specialist
ACSM Public Health Specialist

My passion for health and fitness began when I was 13, when my oldest sister started runningXCin high school in my hometown of Kansas City, and me wanting to follow in her footsteps. I ranXCatHLGU, graduating in 2010 with a degree in Public Relations and minor in Rec Management. Since 2011 I have personally trained over 75 clients ranging in age from 13 – 72 years old and have enjoyed every minute of helping them along their fitness journey. I enjoy spending time with my husband and baby boy, running races with friends, and being an active member of Believer's Church. One of my favorite fitness quotes: " If you are persistent you will get it, if you are consistent you will keep it."

After marrying in 2009, I became very comfortable with a non-active lifestyle, and it took several years before my husband and I both made a change to reach our health and fitness goals we desired. I enjoy helping others reach their goals and improve their lifestyle. In my spare time I enjoy being active in the community, playing various sports, and running obstacle course races.

I am a fitness enthusiast born and raised in Hannibal, Missouri. I am a NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) Certified Personal Trainer. I acquired a degree from the University of Central Missouri in 2014 in Community Health with an Emphasis in Wellness.  At the University, I received a scholarship for Track and Cross Country. Upon graduation from college, I started teaching Body Pump at the Hannibal YMCA which desired me to make Personal Training a profession. My job is my passion and my way of life but my other hobbies include fishing, hunting, hiking, competing in mud races, biking, and playing sports.

Jeff Perrine

NASM-CPT

Jeff and his wife Michelle have lived in the Hannibal community since 2008.  During that time he’s grown tremendously in his faith in Christ, became a father to three sons, Cohen, Evan, and Caleb, and found his true purpose in life. Prior to becoming a personal trainer, Jeff earned a chemical engineering degree from the University of Minnesota which landed him a job with General Mills. There he held two main positions in the engineering department and as a manager of operations.  During that same time, outside of work he went through a personal health transformation where he lost over 60 pounds and became the healthiest he’s ever been in his life.  Ultimately, that became his passion and he separated from General Mills to dedicate his life to helping people become healthy and fit on both the inside and outside. This is his way of paying forward the life changing feeling that he’s experienced in his life.
