KIRA MARIE-TIMM
Personal Trainer
Kira is a certified Personal Trainer who earned her International Personal Trainer Qualification through Trainer Academy, accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), the gold standard for fitness certification in the United States.
With a background in professional theatre and performance, Kira brings plenty of energy, encouragement, and enthusiasm to every training session. (Don't be surprised if she bursts into song occasionally—it comes with the territory!)
Kira is particularly passionate about strength training for women and loves helping clients discover just how empowering lifting weights can be. She enjoys busting the myth that strength training makes women "bulky," instead showing how it can build confidence, improve body composition, and make everyday life easier.
Whether you're stepping into the gym for the first time or working towards a new personal best, Kira's goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where clients can grow stronger, move better, and enjoy the process along the way.
