Meet the Coach! Karleigh Sonnenberg 💙

• What are your Certifications? I’m a Certified Pilates instructor!

• How would you describe your training style?
My training style is focused on mobility, flexibility, and having lots of time under tension!

• Favorite exercise?
My most favorite exercise is always changing depending on the season of life I’m in. Right now I’m really loving Pilates! When the weather is warmer I love to get my workout in by running, and in the colder months I really enjoy lifting heavy.

• What inspired you to become a trainer at OPF?
My love for leading and coaching. It fills my cup to connect with people, especially through exercise and what better way to do that than instructing!

Meet the Trainer! Tori Hope Petersen 💜

• Certifications and Specializations:
I have a personal trainer certification, yoga teacher 🧘🏽‍♀️ certification that specializes in pregnancy and postpartum,🤰🏽 and pilates!

• Training Style in a Few Words:
My hope is simply that when you come to my classes you find them challenging, but fun, and in them you find your main character energy. 💪🏽

• Favorite Exercise or Workout:
Anything legs. As a track athlete, those exercises are what I learned to do well, and my arms tend to be more like noodles 🍝 than arms. 🥲

• What Inspired You to Become a Trainer?
I’m convinced that working out heals something within us. I took a big break from being a trainer because of how demanding my full time job and mothering is but then I found OPF. I have loved it here so much so that’s kept me in it.

• Your Top Tip for Someone Just Starting Out:�The gym is for everyone. No one’s watching you. Everyone at the gym is focused on becoming a stronger version of themselves. So many of us are taking care of other people, and the gym is a great place where you can do something for yourself—your own health and wellbeing. It’s not selfish. It’ll make you a better person. ❤️

• When You’re Not at the Gym, You’re...�With my family. Cooking & writing books.

• Openings in Your Schedule: My schedule is inconsistent. I travel often for my full time job. So if you also have a wild schedule that isn’t consistent week to week, and you want a trainer that will commit to you, but you have to figure out the day and time on a week to week basis, I’m your girl. 💃🏽

Do it for the version of you who hesitated because you didn’t know where to start, felt inexperienced, or worried you wouldn’t be able to keep up. You don’t have to walk in confident, you just have to walk in. Give yourself the chance to learn, get stronger, and realize you’re more capable than you thought.

We’re thrilled to officially welcome Kayla Smiddy to the OPF team as our newest Personal Trainer and Pilates Instructor. Kayla is already a familiar face around here, having trained at OPF for the past year and even taking her fitness journey outside the gym to compete in HYROX events.

Kayla will be taking FIVE FREE consults for new personal training clients as well as taking on some of our Saturday Pilates classes. DM us to secure your consultation and feel free to include any questions you have regarding scheduling and pricing.

We’re beyond excited to have her take this next step with OPF and can’t wait for you all to get to know her on the other side of the workout!

A little more about Kayla ⤵️

* Why OPF?

The support, encouragement, and community at OPF pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me grow, not only physically, but mentally. OPF became a place where I found confidence in myself and a genuine passion for fitness. The community here is truly unmatched.

* What can someone expect by training with you?

You can expect encouragement, accountability, and a personalized approach. I want my clients to feel challenged but also comfortable and supported. I’m really wanting to focus on building a strong foundation, learning proper movement, and helping people understand why we’re doing what we’re doing. I want people to leave their sessions feeling stronger and more confident than when they walked in.

* What are you most excited about as you step into this role at OPF?

To take everything fitness has taught me and use it to help others. I’m excited to build relationships with clients, support them through their own journeys, and help them realize they’re capable of more than they think while also creating a space where they feel supported and empowered.

* What would you say to someone who wants to start personal training but feels a little nervous or unsure?

It is 100% normal to feel nervous or unsure. Starting something new can be intimidating, but you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. That’s what I’m here for! My goal is to meet you where you are, help you feel comfortable and supported at pace that works best for you. You don’t have to be the strongest, fastest, or most experienced person in the room, you just have to be willing to start.
