“My philosophy centers on embracing individuality and tailoring workouts to fit your unique goals. I’m here to guide you through the gym and help you discover your optimal training style. Personally, I prefer beach volleyball over traditional cardio because, to me, fitness should be enjoyable, not just a routine.

Rebekka Halpern
Major: Psychology

Certification: NASM-CPT
My fitness philosophy is showing up. If you’re able to get in the habit of putting in the work as often as possible it makes all the difference. Even though I too struggle with this, I know showing up is the hardest part and as long as I do that everything will come naturally. When planning workouts for clients, I use my knowledge of their capabilities to determine weight and rep count. I focus on the goals set by clients and create workout plans that will push clients to reach beyond weaknesses, so we can build confidence to achieve those goals. To me, fitness means physical health. When looking at fitness I try to look from an objective view with specific measurements. Body image is constantly changing and it’s important to focus on the facts of physical health and understand that it’s not a specific body type or appearance.

I have had a love for fitness since my freshman year of high school, but did not start taking it seriously until Covid hit. It was then when I found out my love for fitness and the overall well being of my body and health. I love to help other people achieve their fitness goals, whether that be cardio, heavy lifting, or if they just want to talk about life, I’m all for it! I am a big runner, so if anyone wants to go for a run, please let me know and I will get there as soon as possible.

Olympic Lifting Coach Only (USAW Level 1)
Olympic lifting is not just for the competitions, it can help you reach goals you never thought you’d set. Olympic lifting is a fantastic way to get strong, have fun, and test your limits. I like to set goals with my athletes and train them to meet, then exceed, those goals. I have been group coaching for almost a year and look forward to coaching one-on-one.
Talia Kimelman
Major: History

Olympic Lifting Coach Only (USAW Level 1)
I like to focus on technique and mobility as the staples of the Olympic Lifts, as they are vital to progressing in weight. I think perseverance is really important because not every lift will go perfectly, but if you’re willing to try, you can really surprise yourself with what your body can do. From beginners to experienced lifters focusing on programming and fine-tuning, I’m excited to work with you! My goal is for you to feel confident under the bar and have fun with it!
