MEET BROOKE, Pilates Trainer and Pre/Post-Natal Movement Specialist

"I’ve always loved working with all different types of movers and bodies. In particular, the pre/postnatal population has always intrigued me because of all the physical changes the body goes through while growing a baby. Working with this population, I've grown to really appreciate the strength of the human body and the resilience of women during this time in their life. I've also realized the importance of support- Support for the physical body but also for the emotional body. Helping to educate women on their bodies and all the changes gives them the power to have the birth experience they want but also recover in a healthy and positive way.
Going through this experience myself has allowed me to dive deeper into the physical needs of the pre/postnatal body and to love it even more! Above all I want to be there as a support for these women as they go through this pivotal time in their life."

MEET WALLIE, Physical Therapist and Pelvic Health Specialist

"As a doctor of physical therapy student, my program was one of the few in the country that had a section on pelvic health. I immediately became interested in the pelvic floor and the huge role it plays in our everyday lives. After the birth of my first daughter, I realized the importance of pelvic floor rehabilitation during pregnancy and postpartum. As I searched for information and treatment, I encountered a lack of accurate information regarding exercise during the prenatal/postpartum period and for female pelvic health in general.This is where my journey as a pelvic floor physical therapist began. I trained with the prestigious Herman and Wallace Institute in pelvic floor rehabilitation, studying both perinatal pelvic health and general female pelvic health. In addition, I'm trained in advanced dry needling concepts and visceral mobilization, and I bring this expertise to my treatment of pelvic floor and orthopedic conditions for prenatal/postpartum clients, all levels of athletes, and women experiencing pelvic health dysfunction in any stage of life."

MEET HEATHER, Orthopedic Fitness Specialist

"As a former professional athlete who experienced multiple athletic injuries, jumping in and getting my orthopedic certification is a natural fit for me. I realize the challenge an injury or surgery presents, especially in an active community like Steamboat. I’ve always had a keen interest in orthopedics and biomechanics. I’m looking forward to being a part of Community Fit and know it will be a great asset to this community."

MEET CHRIS, Cardiac Rehab Specialist & Holistic Health Specialist

I believe the highest form of service to your family, friends and community is taking responsibility for your own health. The human body is an amazing organism with incredible powers. We are capable of awe inspiring movements, the ability to adapt to an incredibly wide range of changing extrinsic environments and almost unbelievable self healing and repairing capabilities. I have been working in the health industry since 1982 and have watched enough fads come and go to see that the more we think we understand how everything works, the more it all circles back to the basics.

The basics being; smooth and efficient movement, quality rest, proper personal nutrition, and gratitude or happiness in life. I strive to help people find their own versions of those 4 tenets.

Three quotes pretty much sum me up:
“Today I will do what others will not, so tomorrow I can do what others cannot”
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are”
“Better to be a Warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war”

"After losing my father to cancer at two years old, I’ve been driven and motivated to find a way to support individuals going though cancer treatment, or in remission. Becoming a Cancer Exercise Specialist opened up a huge window of opportunity for me to be able to better serve this population. I love helping clients regain strength, reduce the risk for lymphedema, and improve overall quality of life." -Rebecca
