Nicole Prigge

I am a born and raised Ellensburg gal and graduated from EHS in 2009. I have my BS in Exercise Science with minors in Athletic Training and PE & Coaching. In June of 2013, I became a NETA Certified personal trainer and over the last two years I have accumulated over 800 hours of personal training contact hours. I enjoy working with clients who wish to make long term lifestyle changes. I have helped everyone from a 70 year old woman who wanted to be able to do a push up again to a 17 year old gentleman looking to pass his military fitness test. If you are ready to have fun and get fit, let's get started!


Kyra Garnich

After receiving my BA in Communications/Public Relations at the University of Wyoming in December of 2013, I moved back to Ellensburg to focus on my health and fitness. I became a member here at The Gym in December 2013 and after a year of having a consistent and persistent workout routine, losing 30 lbs, and beginning my weight lifting journey, it was time to put my knowledge to use and help other people who decide fitness and health is important to them! I will be an ACE certified personal trainer by April of 2015, until then working as a “trainer in training” where I still have clients and design/facilitate workouts for others. I am also a softball coach at Kittitas High School, love to hike and play sports in my free time. 


Tyler Hansen

I am currently attending Central Washington University and will be graduating in spring with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Exercise Science, with a minor in Athletic Training. I am currently certified as a personal trainer through the National Personal Training Institute. In addition to this I am also USA Weightlifting certified. I have been training in the martial arts for over 12 years and am a 2nd degree black belt in Pai Lum Tao Martial Arts. I discovered the benefits of exercise when I took a weights and conditioning class in high school. After a semester of this class every aspect of my martial arts training got easier. I continue to push my limits every day and I work to inspire my clients to do the same. 



Bryan Mack

Graduated from CWU Summer 2013. CSCS certification by NSCA. Recent Alumni of CWU now working as the Sprints coach for CWU Track. My areas of experience lie in the development of athletes at the collegiate and high school level, but I love to work with all ages and experience levels! In training, I am a huge proponent of the mental game (we win the day before we ever touch the first weight!) When I'm not coaching track or working at the gym, my days consist of training for USAs, reading, and drawing.
