As a lifelong athlete and active mom of two energetic boys, I’m passionate about staying strong and moving in all kinds of ways. While strength training is my foundation, I am able to be challenged through different fitness modalities—Pilates, yoga, running, biking, and pickleball are some of my favorites.

Before becoming a trainer, I was a kindergarten teacher, and I truly enjoy blending my love of teaching with my passion for fitness to help others feel confident, capable, and strong.

I found my passion for group fitness when my son was a baby and I was seeking community. As I got stronger, I felt inspired to become certified in Fit4Mom and as a personal trainer. Now, I’m driven to help others discover their strength and fall in love with movement. My goal is for everyone to leave my classes feeling empowered and strong, inside and out. I specialize in strength training, yoga sculpt, vinyasa, and yin yoga. I love knitting, nature walks, indulging in trashy TV shows, trying new recipes, hanging with my family, and doing energy healing work.

Samantha

Samantha Linner is a health and fitness professional with more than 15 years of experience

helping people build strength, confidence, and a positive relationship with movement. Her

background includes personal training, group fitness, run coaching, wellness leadership, and

adaptive fitness, with a strong belief that movement should meet you where you are, not where

you think you’re supposed to be.

Fitness has also been a major part of Samantha’s own journey. After beginning her fitness

journey at over 340 pounds, she went on to become a distance runner and ultramarathoner,

cyclist, and lifelong strength-training enthusiast. Her experiences, from pushing her body

through endurance events and heavy lifting to learning how to adapt movement through injuries

and changing physical abilities, have shaped the way she coaches today.

Samantha’s classes blend functional strength, mobility, Pilates, barre, and athletic-style training

to create workouts that are challenging, approachable, and easy to modify for different fitness

levels. Her coaching philosophy is simple: work with the body you have today, focus on what

you can do, and build from there.

Whether you’re an experienced athlete or just getting back into a routine, Samantha’s goal is to

create an encouraging, inclusive environment where you can challenge yourself, have fun, and

leave feeling stronger than when you walked in.

Erin



Hi, I’m Erin! After college, I fell in love with movement and the energy of group fitness, which inspired me to become a certified Mat Pilates instructor. I truly believe finding a studio and instructor you connect with can make moving your body so much more fun. That’s why I love creating inclusive classes where I hope everyone feels strong, confident, and excited to move!

When I’m not teaching, you can find me traveling, spending time at the beach, or trying out a new recipe in the kitchen. And when I’m not doing any of that, you can probably find me at Wild Soul taking a class!
