Say hello to Avery!  You will see her teaching Les Mills Grit!  

“I was born in Maryland but have spent the majority of my life in Washington. I grew up playing soccer and played in college at George Fox University in Oregon. Fitness got put on hold post college due to burnout and focusing on my career. With the help of the Athena community, I fell back in love with fitness. I am able to focus on the positives and health benefits of working out instead of it feeling like a job and a requirement. “

She is passionate about showing kindness to everyone she connects with. 

She is wildly happy when she is on a walk with her husband and 2 dogs, Hank and Lily. 

She feels most confident after completing something she didn’t think she could. Whether it’s GRIT workout or presentation at work. Pushing the limits is when she feels strong. 

She is terrified of raccoons. 

She never grows old of putting a smile on someone else’s face. 

She is inspired by her family and friends that show resilience in the good and bad parts of life.
