Cross Kicks Fitness Licenses Lake Zurich Studio Location to Head Trainer, Kelly Gschwend
Cross Kicks Fitness, home of the grit-inspired, 40-minute workout, today announced new ownership of its Lake Zurich location. Head trainer Kelly Gshwend will take the reins and oversee all aspects of the Lake Zurich studio, including fitness training, hiring and retention, business development, community outreach, social media, marketing and more.
Kelly left the corporate world in the Fall of 2019 to join the team at Cross Kicks Fitness as the head trainer in Lake Zurich. Kelly is NASM-CPT certified and is licensed to teach Les Mills Bodypump, Sprint, RPM and Bodystep, HIIT workouts like Tabata and even aqua classes.
"I started running in college, then began taking group fitness classes and realized that I was passionate about them. I knew I wanted to be up there leading the charge," said Kelly.
In 2009, Kelly began teaching classes at Gold's Gym in Central Illinois on evenings after work and on the weekends.
"I realized that I needed MORE…more energy, more engagement, more of a like-minded community of people looking for health and fitness advancement," said Kelly. "I fell in love with the industry - and with Cross Kicks Fitness - and found my calling as a fitness club owner. I am very excited to bring functional strength and conditioning training, as well as nutritional guidance to our members."
Founded in 2013, Cross Kicks Fitness entered the market space with a cutting-edge concept. It has all of the latest fitness modalities including functional cross training, strength, conditioning, and a burst of boxing and kickboxing. With no class times and a dedicated trainer leading the workouts, Cross Kicks Fitness has gained quick popularity in Lake Zurich and surrounding communities.
"Kelly is a perfect fit for our model at Cross Kicks Fitness. She is motivated and driven to do great things," said Tony Wuebker, president of Cross Kicks Fitness. "We have already seen amazing things from her as a Club Manager and Head Trainer. The members and staff will continue to be enlightened with her leadership and forward progress."
