Christine Chatelle
Certified Personal Trainer &
Silver & Fit Instructor
am the mother of a beautiful 4 year old girl who inspires me every day to be the best person I can be. I’ve been an athlete from a young age with my main focus on Martial Arts and Gymnastics. I love nature and exercising outdoors; hiking, kayaking, tennis, etc. I am a Certified Personal Trainer and have a B.A. in Psychology. For 15 years, I worked in the Mental Health and Addiction Services field using Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people live happier, more productive lives. I became a Personal Trainer 3 years ago because I have a passion for health and fitness and a need to help people live their lives to the fullest. I’ve seen the very negative effects of pharmaceutical use from all angles and I know that nutrition and exercise can alleviate almost all needs for medication. Most recently I received my Reiki I Certification and look forward to using my energy to help others. Our miraculous bodies are made to heal themselves. Anything is possible when you believe 
Renee Smith
POUND Instructor
Renee became certified to teach the POUND Rockout Workout in 2016, only a few months after she walked into her first POUND class and instantly fell in love. In addition to being a fun, drum-inspired, full body workout for all ages and fitness levels, Renee’s favorite thing about POUND is its all-inclusive philosophy and the sense of community that naturally develops among class members, known as the “Posse”. In addition to POUND, Renee is also an ACE certified Personal Trainer, and is certified to teach Generation POUND for ages 6-12, Indoor Cycling and TRX Suspension Training. In her spare time, Renee loves to play the drums and spend time cuddling with her dogs. She is also a Registered Nurse and Executive Director for Day Kimball Healthcare at Home.
