Kendra Gail Beelen - Personal Bio: My background is in dance (ballet and modern mainly) with years of training at the Grand Rapids Ballet School, the Wealthy Theatre Contemporary Ballet Company, the Houston Ballet and the official school of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. After many injuries I traded in my ballet slippers and callused feet for gym shoes, medicine balls, resistance bands and free weights! Having over 25 years of dance experience and over a decade in the fitness industry, I strive to bring a unique, inspirational and motivational approach to my training. Through posture, balance and breath I aim to create a feeling and result of lengthening that your body has never experienced before! Also, being certified in lifestyle fitness coaching and stress management coaching helps me guide others to a healthier lifestyle and a stress free life as I apply that to their fitness training!
My first full time job on the east coast was in 2003 as a Community Outreach Coordinator in which I had to get to know the community, identify the common need and create a solution. Years later I took that same process and applied it to my business. I love helping, serving and finding opportunities to bring people together.
My hope for KGB Fitness is that it becomes a community building organization. I will seek out neighborhoods lacking in health and fitness facilities or resources, create and provides programs to fit that need, therefore providing jobs and building strong fitness communities!
I would love to know about your intentions and goals then help you achieve them.
