Metamorphosis Personal Training Studio

Jessi Astlund is a 31 year-old woman with an extensive knowledge of the fitness industry, having come from a background of group fitness instruction she provides excellent coaching and amazing communication. She holds certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine, multiple Les Mills group fitness certifications, American Council on Exercise personal training certification, along with being Barre Certified. Jessi is extremely passionate about all things fitness and health related, spending a large portion of her time and money keeping up with all of the latest health and wellness methodology. In addition to her certifications and experience in a variety of fields, Jessi is also certified in Pre/postnatal care allowing her to safely and effectively train new and expecting mothers. When Jessi is not in the studio honing her skills as a powerlifter you can find her with her two dogs, Walter and Winnifred soaking up the outdoors. Having grown up in North Idaho she has developed a deep love for hiking, camping, jeeping, riding her motorcycle, and essentially any other activity she can participate in outdoors. Her latest business venture; Buffnuts donuts, is centered around creating healthy ways for people to satisfy their sweet tooth, be on the lookout because they are taking off! Jessi brings her unique style, broad knowledge base, and effervescent personality into Metamorphosis Personal Training studio each day and creates an environment where every client feels their goals are within reach. Joshua Armstrong has spent the last 18 years of his life involved in some sort of fitness or health arena. Josh has spent many years playing and coaching football, bodybuilding, strength training, cycling, and most importantly (to him) dirt bike racing. After receiving a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Eastern Washington University, Josh spent time employed in various industries and ultimately developed an even deeper passion for fitness and health. Joshua holds certifications from The National Academy of Sports Medicine, Les Mills Group fitness instructor certification, living.fit Battlerope certification, has attended a number of clinics, and is currently working toward a Barbell Rehab certification. Similar to Jessi, he plans to continue his education in all things health and fitness. Like many of the clients that pass through the door at Metamorphosis, Joshua has had his own journey full of ups and downs, including struggles with food, weight, and injuries. At 31 years old, Josh has had six knee opertations, including four ACL reconstuctions, 2 shoulder/rotator cuff operations, and a number of other injuries. As many of you may know, these are very debilitating surgeries and they require extensive rehabilitation, which can be extremely difficult for an active person to live with. Challenges with injury, depression, and food have proven to be a blessing in disguise, and have given Josh an extensive knowledge on rehabilitation, proper movement and mechanics, along with an unstoppable drive to move forward. Josh refuses to let his body be the limiting factor in anything he chooses to do with his life. Metamorphosis is defined as; "a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means." We strive to bring positive change to the life of each, and every client that walks through our front door. Together we can create strong, capable, resilient bodies that are ready for any challenge life throws our way! Thank you so much for your support,
Jessi and Josh
