Meet the Trainers

Abby holds an ACSM Personal Trainer certification which is deemed the “gold standard” in the industry for personal trainers. And because of her degree, certification and experience, she is classified as an "Elite" personal trainer at Momentum. She brings her education together with experience in working with Phase III/Phase IV cardiac rehabilitation patients and outpatient physical therapy clients.

Charlene's desire to teach, motivate, and instill confidence into each woman she works with so they may achieve their fitness goals and build a confidence that allows them to accomplish all that life has to offer, is what led her to the fitness industry.

While Giesala began first as a member, then became a Momentum instructor teaching classes such as BodyVive, BodyFlow and BodyJam, she made the leap of faith into fitness by changing her career to change women's lives.

Kate has years experience in the fitness industry and has evolved into a leader in the mind & body disciplines after having taught step, cycling and BodyPump in the past. Her goal is to help women  facilitate growth in a positive direction by turning their body’s Weaknesses into strengths.

Kathy is passionate about the benefits Pilates can bring to oneself. She believes whole-heartedly it creates greater body awareness and keeps you focused and centered – truly connecting the “dots” to the overall mind, body and spirit experience of being healthy and able to move.

Kathy will work with each client's individual goals to develop an innovative (non-therapeutic) exercise program that will optimize their current fitness level and improve overall health and quality of life in mind, body, and spirit.

Specializing in training not only runners but pre- and post-natal women looking to regain their pre-pregnancy body composition (or better!) through a well-rounded program that will be challenging yet fun, Lisa seeks to provide both education and motivation to women of all ages to understand their body at that specific point in their lives and move them to reach their goals...

Maribeth's love for fitness drove her to pursue a career away from industrial engineering into the health & fitness field. Since joining Momentum in May of 2001, she has worked hard to excel as a Personal Trainer and instructor of BodyPump, RPM & BodyAttack.

As a recent graduate from California University of PA, Marie gained hands-on experience working with many of the athletes 1-on-1 as well as several of the women’s sports teams. She is very familiar with Momentum and its members as she was an intern just before her final year at CUP in 2008 and admires how supportive everyone is within the very positive atmosphere.

Taking her experience she has gained in training athletes, Shannon's drive to help motivate, coach and move one to her personal best transcends beyond the athletic arena. Shannon seeks to help any female understand her body and reach its fullest potential based on their current fitness level...
