Fit Pickleballer

18 yrs Elite Physique, now combining my pickleball passion. Teaching pickleball lessons in Santa Rosa Beach. Fit Pickleballer-Where Fitness Meets Fun!

I am beyond excited to kickstart this new journey with you all as the founder of Fit Pickleballer! 🎉 Let me tell you a bit about myself and how this all began.

🏊‍♀️Former FSU Swimmer: Swimming has been a significant part of my life, and it instilled in me a deep appreciation for fitness.

💪 Over 17 Years owning my Personal Training biz: As a seasoned personal trainer, I've had the privilege of helping numerous individuals achieve their fitness goals and lead healthier lives.

🏓 Pickleball Addict for 4 Years: Four years ago, I discovered the magic of pickleball, and there was no turning back! The thrill of the game, the camaraderie on the court, it's all simply addictive!

🔍 Bridging the Gap: In my pickleball journey, I noticed a crucial aspect missing – specific training to strengthen the muscles used in pickleball, along with mobility and lateral movement exercises to prevent injuries and build stamina.

🏋️‍♀️ Fit Pickleballer's Injury Prevention Program: This is where Fit Pickleballer comes in! I'm combining my passion for pickleball and my expertise in fitness to create an exclusive Injury Prevention program tailored for all you pickleball enthusiasts out there.

🌊 Personal and Fun Tidbits: When I'm not on the court or working on fitness programs, you can find me cherishing life's simple pleasures. I'm blessed to be married to my best friend for 25 years, and together, we share our home with three adorable cats. I spend time weekly volunteering at my favorite animal refuge, Alaqua. Living near the beach allows me to soak in the calming presence of the Gulf, especially during breathtaking sunsets, which are some of my favorite moments. And yes, I'm also a 🍷 wine lover, indulging in a glass now and then to celebrate life's victories!

🤗 I can't wait to embark on this journey with each one of you. Fit Pickleballer aims to be more than just a wellness business; it's a community where we celebrate our love for fitness, pickleball, and everything in between! 🎾 Let's strengthen those pickleball muscles, prevent injuries, and have a ton of fun together!

Great first night of another Fit Pickleballer’s 6-Week Play Your Way Fit program!

Lots of laughs, new friendships forming, and the perfect day-one overview of how to play pickleball.

We’ve got so much more fun ahead, both on and off the court!

If you’ve been curious about trying pickleball, there’s no better way than in a supportive, lighthearted setting like this. Come for the game, stay for the community.🏓💜

🌟 Another 5⭐ Review! 🌟

I’m so proud of Lynn for sharing her journey—and even more for stepping out of her comfort zone to play in her first tournament!

That’s one of my favorite parts of coaching: helping players build the confidence, skills, and courage to put themselves out there—on and off the court.

Whether you’re brand new to pickleball or ready to take that next step, I’d love to support your journey too.

Right now I have: ✅ Spots open in Beginner + Intermediate-Beginner Open Play (Mondays 4:45-6:00pm) ✅ A waitlist starting for the next round of my 6-Week Programs

If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time to jump in—you never know where this game might take you, or what new friends are waiting to meet you!

UPDATE: I still have one spot for the 6-week Court Confidence: 2.5 League Prep (If you are playing in the Florida Pickleball League in the 2.5 category, this is for YOU!) Starts Sept 12th.

This 6-week program is designed for players in the 2.5 range who want to feel more comfortable and confident in league play. Each week we’ll focus on improving consistency, court positioning, and shot selection, along with strategies for smarter play at the kitchen. You’ll also get the chance to practice drills and game situations with other players at your same level. The goal is to build both skills and confidence so you can step into matches ready to play your best.

I also have a few spots for Monday Open Play (Beginners and Advanced Beginners) 4:45-6:00pm.

The rest is sold out. If you have an interest in a 6-week program or private lessons reach out. As of now I could pull one together either: Tuesdays 11:00am-12:15pm or Wednesdays 8:00-9:15am, Fridays 2:00-3:15pm.

The other night, I found myself sitting at a table with six amazing women after one of our pickleball sessions. As I looked around, I was overcome with emotion… all of them had become true friends. 💕

These ladies first met on the pickleball court through my sessions, but now? They’re playing in a league together, meeting up during the week, and building friendships that extend far beyond the court. THIS is why I do what I do.

Yes, I coach pickleball. But it’s never just about pickleball. It’s about creating a safe, welcoming space where people can show up as themselves, connect, and feel a sense of belonging. As we get older, making new friends can be tough—especially if you’re new to the area. That’s why community matters so much.

I feel so grateful that I get to be part of these connections, whether it’s on the pickleball court or at my Release, Renew & Reconnect Bonfires 🔥. These gatherings are another way to pause, let go of what’s heavy, and connect with yourself and others in a meaningful way. My next one is coming up September 3rd, and I’d love for you to experience the magic of community there.

✨ If you’re looking for community or hoping to meet new friends, come join me on the pickleball court or at one of my monthly bonfires. Reach out and let’s connect!
Here’s to more pickleball, more connection, and more spaces where we can truly just be.

It’s so easy to fall into comparison… especially when you’re a beginner out on the pickleball court.

You see players ripping winners, stacking with confidence, or getting up to the kitchen line like it’s second nature…

And suddenly you’re questioning if you’re “good enough” or if you’ll ever get there.

👉 But here’s the reminder: You’re not in a race with anyone else.

The only version you’re measuring against:
The YOU from last week.
Last month.
Last year.

✅ Are you showing up and playing more often than you used to?
✅ Are you making better shot choices than the old you would’ve made?
✅ Are you handling mistakes or tough games differently than you did a few months ago?
✅ Are you taking clinics or lessons to improve your game?

That’s what REAL progress looks like. You got this!!

💬 Tell me in the comments—what’s one area you’ve noticed yourself improving in lately?👇

🔥 5-STAR VIBES! 🔥
When someone gets what you’re all about…

“Colleen is passionate about people and pickleball! I put people first because they are for Colleen!... You’ll learn new skills, meet incredible people, have fun, and be inspired by her enthusiasm and energy. Do it 🤓😄”

💕This is why I do what I do — to help you feel strong, confident, connected, and have a blast doing it!

If you’re curious, come see what all the buzz is about! Included is a graphic of my current Open Play opportunities and upcoming 6-Week programs that I’m booking now.

What an incredible day! I had the privilege of kicking off a new “Play Your Way Fit” 6-Week Pickleball Challenge with an amazing group of beginners.

These ladies took their first steps on the court, had a blast, and even met some new friends along the way. 💕 Seeing their excitement and progress reminds me why I love introducing others to this incredible sport!

But here’s something I firmly believe: I can’t pour into others if my own cup is empty. Even as a coach, I need coaching too.

That’s why I make it a priority to work on my own game! Tonight, I got to challenge myself at a clinic with an incredible coach who pushes me to be better. And the best part? My husband joined me—talk about a perfect date night! 💕 Plus, my doubles partner, Karen, was there too!

So here’s my question to you: Do you have a coach in your life? Whether it’s for business, health, or sports, having a mentor to guide and challenge you is a game-changer. Growth happens when we step outside our comfort zone!

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, thinking about trying pickleball but feeling hesitant—this is your sign! I have a few spots open for another 6-week beginner program, and I’d love to help you get started. Drop me a message if you want in!

Let’s step onto the court and grow together! 💪💙

02/20/2025

Sad faces because we were missing one of our Fit Pickleballer crew last night!

We get stronger, faster, and better together—both on and off the court. One of the best parts of coaching pickleballers is the amazing community that forms. Fun, fitness, and friendship—what more could you ask for?

Want to join the next group? DM me to find out when the next session starts!

💖 Love, Laughter & Pickleball! 💖

Jay & have been married for over 40 years, and guess what they did for Valentine’s Day? They took their very first pickleball lesson together! 🎾💑

It was such a blast watching them learn, laugh, and create new memories on the court!

I absolutely love working with couples—especially fun ones like these two! Seeing a strong marriage after 40+ years is rare and inspiring. 💕 John and I have been married for 27 years, and pickleball is one of our favorite ways to stay active and connect!

Want to learn how to play pickleball with your sweetheart? 💘 Whether you’re brand new or looking to improve, I’d love to help you laugh, move, and have a blast together! Send me a message, and let’s get you on the court!
