Emerge Fitness Trains Together

This is the magic- we all learn from each other so that when any given human walks through that Emerge Fitness front door, we have a wealth of knowledge, skills, and resources to meet that person's needs -simply because through working in this space we all have the ingredients that create this meticulously mixed, divinely rich cake.


The visceral feeling of energy and growth notably palpitates as I walk into this training arena called Emerge Fitness Training.


The wide open pristine space; the sun’s flames bursting from the large windows; the air wisping from the garage door - spreading nature’s life over the bright green expansive turf where many athletes: community members, DASA, Veterans, seniors, children alike- come to train. All with individual stories, strengths, weaknesses, and GOALS.


Along with these goals and space comes an elite group of impassioned individuals who are also called "Personal Trainers."


I quote that title as the caveat is that each one of them has a driving story, an experience, an expertise woven into a desire to help humans feel and take action towards what drives them towards greatness. Sometimes this drive is happening outside the gym, but the work we do inside this Emerge space contributes to the habit, energy, momentum and confidence that drives each client's true purpose and intention. Other times, clients just want to be able to move without pain again, feel more stable, and free in their bodies; While Others come here to work on the art of their sport or a personal fitness goal- the training is the purpose and intention.


You see, Angie and Matt Pirtle - owners of Emerge- take obsessive pride in recruiting and retaining special individuals anchored in core values, community, and knowledge: special people. You can feel, see, hear each trainer's knowledge come out in a unique manner on the floor- spreading to all who come to “play.”


It is truly an incredible thing to see all these men and women working together- side by side- sharing space with a high regard and respect for what each brings to this family driven business and space- that we have ALL each one of us at different times contributed to developing over the years.


As a former athlete: volleyball, soccer, basketball, softball, gymnastics, ice skating, ballet, tap, jazz, track and field, cross country, ok ok I played a lot of sports growing up…lol AND a child of 2 business oriented parents, I have always understood that we all soar when we all feel we have something special to contribute to the greater good- we are a true Team.


Like any team, when we can all bring our best to the turf and learn from each other- our clients win everytime- we become a championship team!


When we "line up" with the best in love and celebration, yet don't back down when challenged and continue to push each other to get better- not because we want to demolish the other due to fear, but because we truly want to be our best for ourselves and ultimately for you- MAGIC HAPPENS!


The way to growth is "lining up" next to the best, and feeling the desire to level up alongside each other. Sometimes you win, sometimes you feel less than and come in 2nd or 3rd, but in reality- being amongst the best is bringing out the best in all!


And this is how we can bring our clients the best versions of ourselves. So next time you walk through that door, take a look around you- take it all in- notice all the wisdom, novelty, and strength amongst our incredible trainers. We ALL have one goal-we want -no we NEED YOU to leave us feeling strong and impassioned to do YOUR life. We work as a team for you!


The most fun is when we feel so secure and empowered that we refer our clients to each other! ha! Now that is unique. It's true, I share many clients with other trainers as do they.


As a running coach, I can often hone in on how the athlete can train different energy pathways that are appro for endurance running while another trainer can teach you sports specific agility drills; how to be a competitive boxer; tear up the rings to master obstacle course competition, or using proper form to be the most efficient sprinter.


Those same trainers- who can write and support you in executing a routine that meets you where you are at and how to progress you appropriately coming back from injury, time off, or lack of motivation.


It’s inspiring to see one of our trainers preparing for a show, race, or swinging from silks anchored from the ceiling, another mastering power exercises with creative band routines, a boxer executing a perfectly skilled practice, AND then there is me- running 5 minute miles- for hours trying to solicit that Lactate acid that creepily fills my blood faster than my muscles can eat it!


Geez, the talent and passion are here. We live this stuff. We breathe it. We want it for you too.


I have been training at Emerge as an athlete since day one- I have trained with mostly Matt, Keelin, and Adam, but have also had amazing and learned so much from sporadic sessions Beth, Glenn, Stevie D, Angie, Tyler, Brittney, and Taylor- ALL ARE INCREDIBLE!!!!


So, over the next few months, I am going to train in a session with each trainer, highlighting his or her (yes we have female coaches too!) strengths and share some about each one-with their permission of course.


We have a few new trainers who I see working their space really well! They are bringing exciting energy and skills to our family gym! So, I have reached out and am on their schedules so I can highlight them in successive blogs.

Bringing a story to each individual working so hard to bring their best to this gym brings community.


Community brings connection.


Connection brings energy, positive mindsets, and helps us all level up on our own trajectories not against.


Know that each of us may have an expertise but our books of business include a WIDE range of clients.


This is the magic- we all learn from each other so that when any given human walks through that door, we have a wealth of knowledge, skills, and resources to meet that person's needs simply because we all have the ingredients that create this rich cake.


So, don't feel you have to have the same goals as your trainer- your Emerge trainer is more well rounded than any other gym’s trainers because we all work together.


We truly Emerge EVERYONE!
