Fallon Johnson

Team Lead, Personal Trainer, Boxing, Group Classes, Nutrition

Physical movement has always been my greatest source of inspiration. After earning my BFA from NYU, I successfully channeled the discipline and passion from my training directly into fitness coaching. My goal is for you to leave every session feeling inspired, fiercely motivated, and radiating a post-sweat glow!

My words to live by: "Don’t limit your challenges. Challenge your limits."

Dylan Rodrigues

Personal Trainer, Nutrition

I come with a background of six years in the Army. During my time in the Military, I earned several high achievements for my physical performance; to include the highest score in our Physical Training test out of 100 plus soldiers while in Basic Training, as well as an Air Assault Badge during Active Duty. However, my passion for fitness began well before the Military. From a young age I have always been involved in sports. As I grew older, I realized how fitness could forever change my life for the better – both physically and mentally; especially after becoming a husband and a father. In 2022, I completed my 1st half Ironman triathlon; it was one of the best experiences of my life. Looking forward, I plan to continue pursuing this sport and eventually completing a full Ironman 140.6. Triathlon has taught me a lot about preparation for endurance sport. For events like this you don’t just sign up and go. It requires a lot of time, blood, sweat, and sometimes tears! “Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.” I have gained so much through fitness and I want to instill these same values and the confidence I have been able to gain in each and every person that I have the opportunity to train.

Lexi Dixon

Personal Trainer & Group Classes

Since I was a little kid, I have always been passionate about fitness. Whether I was playing a sport, running around outside, or following a workout video, I always found a way to move my body. After high school I went on to complete a bachelor's degree at Central Michigan University. While I was at college I tried to stay active, however, I fell out of a routine and felt lost in the gym.

During my senior year of college I found out I had 3 autoimmune disorders. I knew that I needed to make a change to better myself. Balancing my physical and mental health became of great importance to me. This was the push I needed to get back into making my physical health a priority. After college and finding my love for moving my body again, I became NASM certified as a personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist.

I love coaching and making fitness fun! The best part of being a coach is seeing the progress clients make and knowing that they are bettering themselves. It brings me such joy to be a part of their journeys. I will forever be grateful for the positive impact fitness has had on my mental and physical health. I hope to help others have a positive experience with fitness and find a passion in it like I have.

Olivia Chugh

Personal Trainer, Body by Erin, & Group Classes

My movement and fitness journey began in the world of dance, where I spent many years both training and teaching. This led me to the University of Michigan, where I got my B.S. in Movement Science. During my undergrad, I found power-lifting and have since competed a couple times, including Collegiate Nationals 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia. After assisting friends and acquaintances in the gym, I realized I loved helping others embark on their own fitness journeys and decided to pursue my personal training certification. Through these experiences, I’ve seen how exercise nurtures confidence, improves mentality, and promotes overall well-being. My goal is to help you achieve all of this and more, while making fitness an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Amiyah Walker

Personal Trainer & Group Classes

Hiya there! I’m Amiyah—a certified health and fitness coach, and let me tell you, this isn’t just a job for me… this is my calling. I’m deeply passionate about helping busy people break free from burnout, overwhelm, and self-doubt so they can step into the healthiest, happiest version of themselves. This work lights me up because I know exactly what it feels like to be stuck, to feel unworthy, and to battle with your own reflection in the mirror. For years, I struggled with self-image issues, disordered eating, yo-yo dieting, and a constant sense of not feeling confident enough. I hit some really dark places—but fitness became my light. It gave me focus, purpose, and the space to heal from the inside out. Over time, I didn’t just fall in love with getting stronger—I fell in love with myself. And then I discovered bodybuilding, which opened an entirely new chapter of growth, discipline, and deep self-respect. It’s been life-changing. But the most powerful part of this journey? It’s not just what I’ve gained for myself—it’s what I get to give to others. I live to serve. Helping people like you feel strong, confident, and fully at home in their body and mind is what drives me every single day. Watching someone transform—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally—is the most fulfilling thing I could ever ask for. So if you’re ready to take that first step (or the next step), I’m here to walk with you, cheer you on, and help you fall in love with your own journey—just like I did.

I graduated from the University of Michigan with a dual degree in Applied Exercise Science and Psychology, fueled by my interest in the intersection of psychology, nutrition, and fitness. My love for movement began as a swimmer and evolved into strength training, which opened a whole new world of fitness for me!

These days, I love moving through functional training because it builds strength, improves everyday movement, supports athletic performance, and promotes long-term health. My goal as a trainer is to help clients develop balanced, sustainable lifestyles through physical activity and nutritious choices without the extremes of fad diets or unsustainable workout trends.

I’m certified by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and am excited to be part of your wellness journey!
