Meet our NEW Coaches in Development!

Mike Collette • August 23, 2022

At Prototype, we take pride in our Coach Development Program and are very fortunate to have some of the best Coaches and Trainers in the area working right out of our facility. Several months ago, we started our Young Coaches Program, were we offered internships to high schoolers who wanted to pursue the field of Strength and Conditioning. Over the summer, we had 3 Young Coaches go through that program to develop a sense of the fitness industry. Prior to the YCP, we have grown several coaches through our community at Prototype and rarely hired externally.

Culturally, it’s important to us that our team members at Prototype check several boxes for us, but the biggest is caring deeply to improve self and to improve others. To that end, we are excited about 2 of our newest coaches going through our CDP (Coach Development Program).

Read below to get to know both Tanya and Chanel

“I am a certified personal trainer, life coach, as well as continuing education for Nutrition Coaching. While growing up I was not your typical athlete, through personal experience through the years I have found that upkeeping a fitness regimen is the most important part to mental strength. I began training with my fiance who is an athlete of 20+ years, and in doing so realized that I also wanted to help individuals with their fitness journey. My passion is to assist others in learning how to take back their life by growing their confidence with leading a healthy and fit lifestyle.

Outside of Prototype I spend the majority of time with my fiance and my two dogs, Tiger and Loki. I enjoy drawing and painting, as well as am continuing my education with additional classes in physical training and nutrition.”

February Prototype of the Month

By Mike Collette • February 3, 2025
Congratulations to Natalie for being February's Prototype of the Month! Below, she shares his experience with Prototype, what drives her, and the goals that keep her motivated. 1.) Share your experience at Prototype. I have been at Prototype for a little over a year but started doing drop-in classes prior to that. Every time I dropped into class, I was welcomed and felt really at home, which prompted me to join after a 4 year Crossfit hiatus. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? I really love the camaraderie and the way everyone supports and encourages each other. The energy and joking of the 5am class is what motivates me to get up at the crack of dawn to workout each week. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I am obsessed with traveling and travel planning! I really enjoy running and hiking, especially with friends. I also really love my job and furthering my education and career. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me to love Crossfit and working out in a group again. After a 4 year hiatus and working out by myself, I am really enjoying the way that the classes and people motivate me to work on my weaknesses and to push myself further than I would alone. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? I want to get back to doing pull-ups and toes to bar again without struggling and despising them so much. 6.) Favorite Quote Don’t just aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference. -Denzel Washington
