Mike Gerber

PERSONAL TRAINER

I’m Mike Gerber and I’ve been a gym rat for the past 30 years. When the restaurant I had managed closed in 2005, I decided to turn my past time into my livelihood. I got my personal training certification through ACE and have since taken several workshop classes focusing on special needs clients. I am also trained and certified in SilverSneakers and spin instruction. I am currently studying to take the NSCA certification exam, as well as taking classes to become trained in Schiatsu massage; a non-invasive, accu-pressure massage mode. I specialize in exercise for chronic disabilities, including osteoporosis, knee and hip replacements, lower back problems, shoulder conditions, diabetes, obesity, auto-immune diseases, cardio rehab, neuromuscular disease and stroke. I have also taken special classes geared toward core training for hard abs, balance, and exercise for older people. I love being a part of this great club and the team that keeps it going.

Hey, my name is Linda Silveri. I have been training people and teaching group fitness classes for 25+ years.

Nynaeve Phillipson

PERSONAL TRAINER

My name is Nynaeve, and I am a former level 10 gymnast, lifelong mover, personal trainer, yoga teacher of 5 years, rock climber, and competitive bodybuilder. Movement has always been my home, and my greatest joy is helping people discover what their bodies can do. My coaching style is positive, energetic, and empowering. I believe in building strength and autonomy, not perfection. Whether you’re brand-new to fitness, returning from injury, or chasing a skill like handstands or acrobatic training, I can meet you exactly where you are.

I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, and I specialize in:

• Strength training + functional movement

• Mobility + injury-aware progressions

• Handstands + bodyweight skills

• Rock-climbing conditioning

• Mind–body connection via yogic philosophy

My goal is simple: help you feel strong, capable, and excited to move — no matter where you’re starting.
