Jessica’s first love was dance. At the ripe old age of 4, she was signed up for classes and never looked back! Jessica later fell in love with WERQ Dance Fitness and Cardio Drumming.
Avah Lewis
Avah started attending Beacon Health and Fitness a few years ago as a dedicated member enjoying all of the variety in classes and instructors that it has to offer as well as its upbeat and positive community.
Her passion for Pilates was fueled by the energy and example of those same instructors who inspired her to learn more about Pilates and take her own practice to a more professional level. She is certified in Balanced Body Movement Principles, Anatomy in 3D, Mat I and II, Reformer I, II and III and Chair.
Kayla Kluszczynski
Hello, my name is Kayla Kluszczynski and I have been teaching Reformer and Mat Pilates at Beacon for over 2.5 years. Within my mat and reformer certifications, I also had special training for pre and postnatal clients as well as those with injuries and painful conditions. I really do believe Pilates is and can be for everyone and it is a great addition to any other fitness discipline you prefer. My class style is fun and upbeat, mixing a good amount of Joesph Pilate’s original repertoire, with new and modern movements. I teach in a layered approach meaning my classes are great for beginners as well as those who see themselves as advanced-there is something for everyone-however I do like to throw in a challenge here and there, it is practice, not perfection in my eyes.

Rachel Mihills
I have really enjoyed building workout programs for my clients! Also, while at school, I took a “mock” personal training class where I had clients I worked one-on-one with, and I was able to help them reach their individual goals!
Raigan Dumm
I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Clinical Exercise Science. I am attending Physical Therapy school at Western Michigan University. I have worked in many different health and fitness settings. Working as a coach, kinesiology tutor, CrossFit intern, and physical therapy technician, I have worked with a wide range of ages and ability levels. Fitness and wellness have always been a big part of my life, and I enjoy working with people and learning about human movement. I have always had a passion for making individuals of all ages and all functional capacities feel strong and healthy. Feeling strong and confident in the gym leads to feeling strong and confident in everyday life! When I am not working or studying, I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, cooking, and spending time with friends and family.
Linda Kolmodin
After being diagnosed with cancer and completing treatment I was presented with an opportunity to lead cancer fitness at Beacon and use the reformer. After completing my ACSM Cancer Fitness Specialist certificate I have been enjoying connecting with people who have also gone through the life changing challenges of cancer diagnosis and treatment. This has been such a meaningful turn in my life and my fitness career! I love leading group fitness classes and seeing people succeed in meeting their fitness goals and having a great time doing it while connecting with other people.
Kelly Judsen
I love Pilates because it is a great way to connect with your body and its focus on the core is so important to everything we do on a day to day basis.
