Meet Coach Mikey! 💪
Certified CF-L1, CrossFit Gymnastics, and NASM Personal Trainer, Mikey brings quiet confidence and a wealth of knowledge to every class.

He’s been coaching for two years across multiple gyms, leading HIIT, CrossFit, functional training, and weightlifting. As an athlete, he’s competed in weightlifting, CrossFit, Spartan Races, and half-marathons - basically, he lives for competition. 😅

✨ Fun facts:
🔥 Favorite hobby: …competing in all the above
💥 Favorite move: Muscle-ups (especially rings)
🏋️‍♂️ Favorite quote: “It doesn’t get easier, you just get stronger.”
🤘He’s also into metal… the music and the kind that nearly crushes you mid-lift.

Mikey’s approach is steady, thoughtful, and rooted in technique. If you’re looking to move better, perform stronger, or just feel more confident in your training, check in with Mikey.

Catch him Mondays at 5:00, 6:00, and 8:30 AM and 5:15 PM, Wednesdays at 5:15 PM, Thursdays at 8:30 AM,
and Fridays at 8:30 AM and Noon!

Say hello to Coach Steph ✨

She’s basically grown up in the gym and has never left. With 10+ years coaching gymnastics, a certified nutritionist background, and a personal training cert in the works, Steph loves helping athletes push past limits and discover their strength.

🔥 Fun facts:
💃 Alleged “Best Dancer at Recreate” (Jordan and Lisa are very salty about this one).
🤸‍♀️ Forever obsessed with handstands.
🎯 Off the floor: hunting, fishing, and skating hard in roller derby (when she’s not healing from a derby injury or two).

Steph brings the energy, the knowledge, and maybe even a handstand competition to your workout!
Catch her on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 and 6 am!

P.S. By day, she’s a bona fide brain: B.S. in Chemical Science + M.S. in Metallurgical/Mineral Process Engineering (her words: “to make me sound smarter than I am” 😅). But let’s be clear—Coach Steph is, in fact, a genius.

Former All-American Wide Receiver, Montana Tech record holder, 2x Frontier Conference Champ, and SCAC Male Athlete of the Year - Dion knows what it takes to perform at the highest level.

But his passion goes way beyond the football field. He’s competed in Spartan Races and Hyrox, leads youth programs at Recreate, and coaches Butte Central Maroons football. He’s also the CEO + Lead Trainer of Inspire Academy, where he’s dedicated to uplifting the next generation of athletes.

✨ Fun facts:
🔥 Favorite move: Box jumps
⚡️ Favorite quote: “All it takes is one second to change your life, start now!”
💈 Working on his barber apprenticeship ✂️
❤️ Loves to volunteer + give back
🎶 And yes… he’s got some dance moves up his sleeve (Steph + Jordan, watch out 👀).

Dion’s motto: “If I can help someone improve by even 1%, I’ve done my job.”
One rep, one drill, one breakthrough at a time - Coach Dion brings the fire. 🔥

Catch Coach Dion on Mon/Thurs at noon and Tues/Wed at 8:30 am!

Meet Coach Jordan! ✨

Originally from Southern California, Jordan grew up in the dance studio (with a little time on the soccer field) before heading to Cal Poly SLO to earn her degree in Photography + Graphic Design. Her love for movement and fascination with the human body eventually led her into the world of personal training and then on to becoming a licensed massage therapist.

Jordan is Functional Kettlebell Training (FKT) Certified and brings creativity, energy, and technical skill to Recreate’s Hyrox-style programming and kettlebell training.

She also proudly stands in the unofficial battle for “Best Dancer at Recreate” — a title still up for debate.

Since moving to Butte in 2022, Jordan has loved exploring Montana and says finding Recreate was a “game changer in the best way possible.” 💖

Jordan is an all-around phenom - catch her on the floor for a sweat, a laugh, and probably a kettlebell clean or two (with perfect form, obvi).

Catch Coach Jordan on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at NOON!
