Amy Benham | BodyPump
My love of fitness started with long- distance running. I was searching for ways to cross-train when a friend introduced me to group fitness. In 2012, I took my first Body Pump class, and I was instantly hooked. The blend of strength training, cardio, and the sense of community in the class resonated with me. Over the years, I’ve witnessed the incredible impact that body pump has on both physical and mental health, and I decided to take my passion to the next level by becoming a certified instructor. As an Emergency Department nurse, I bring a unique perspective to my Body Pump classes. You can anticipate a dynamic workout that challenges strength and endurance with a focus on proper technique and injury prevention. I’m committed to creating an inclusive, supportive and motivating environment where everyone can thrive regardless of their fitness level. If you are like me, you might come to class for results, and stay for the friends!

Anthony Gilliland | Cycle
Previously a long-distance runner, Anthony endured chronic knee, hip and back pain until a life-altering car accident forced him to confront his physical limitations and reshape his outlook on fitness. Although physical therapy provided some progress, it wasn’t enough to fully restore his previous level of functioning. Anthony believed that he would endure pain while walking for the rest of his life, until he crossed paths with his first personal trainer and cycle instructor, Morgan. Under her guidance cycle became essential to Anthony’s rehabilitation leading him on a remarkable transformation. Certifying as a cycle instructor himself as well as behavior modification coach, Anthony hopes to share his love for cycle and it’s potential for improved health & fitness with the members of The Seattle Gym.

Ola Urban | BodyPump
My fitness journey started when I discovered triathlon races. To build strength I started the standard solo gym workout. One day in the locker room I overheard a few women talking about the group fitness class they were taking, and exclaiming that it is the highlight of their day. How could a workout be the highlight of somebody’s day I thought? A workout is a means to get better in your sport discipline, not a source of fun and pleasure right? So I decided to try it for myself. Yoga, cycle, core training, resistance training, boxing, you name it, I tried it all. I got hooked instantly. Now I was looking forward to each workout, to the great music, to see my instructor. Started out in the back of the room, moved to the middle, later become front row regular, and finally got certified to be a group fitness instructor myself. Today I am certified in a variety of group fitness formats like Bodypump, Core and Mat Pilates. I get to be a source of accountability for my members – and vice versa! There is no better feeling than knowing that you make a difference in someone’s life. Other fun facts about me: I am two time Ironman finisher, did several marathons, long distance open- water swims, and long bicycle tours. About a decade ago I decided to go green and start bicycle commuting. After I met my husband he decided to trade his four wheels for two bicycle wheels and join me. No regrets!
