Over the past few years, I have been a fitness manager, personal trainer, and group fitness instructor. I have a bachelor’s degree in exercise science, currently working towards my doctorate in physical therapy. Through my recent experience working with clients, my passion for fitness has grown exponentially.

I really enjoy helping athletes improve sports performance, clients gain body confidence and reach their health & fitness goals.

Madeline Davis – Spin
Im a cycle instructor at Ohio University and I’m so pumped to be a new cycle instructor for FitZone this summer! I’m 21, in nursing school, and obsessed with all things movement + music.I grew up dancing for 13 years, so you can definitely expect good vibes and even better playlists in my classes. I really fell in love with cycling during a tough time in my life—it became my safe space, my therapy, and where I found my strength again. Can’t wait to ride with you and help you feel strong, confident, and totally unstoppable!
