Trisha McCurdy
Owner | Health & Wellness Coach | Personal Trainer




McCurdy Health & Wellness started with my own search for better health—and grew into a passion for helping others find their way, too. After years of struggling with asthma and other health challenges, I know how frustrating it feels when you don’t feel good in your own body. That experience inspired me to begin my career in health and wellness in 2014.

Today, I take a whole-person approach to wellness, bringing together my background in holistic health, hormone health, nutrition, and fitness. Whether we’re discussing lab results, exploring wellness services and supplement options, building healthier habits, or working through a workout, my goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and more confident about your next step.

My faith is everything to me. Jesus is who I turn to in life and in business, and I’m constantly asking Him for direction in the decisions I make. Watching MHW grow into a community—with a team bringing their own strengths and personalities—is something I’m deeply grateful for. I want you to feel like you belong here, whether it’s your first visit or you’ve been with us for years.

Outside of MHW, I’m happiest taking side-by-side rides, snowmobiling in the winter, or just hanging out at home with my family. I live a pretty low-key life, and I’m perfectly happy keeping it that way.

Something that might surprise you? I hate cardio. I do it anyway because apparently, if I make everyone else do it, I should participate too. And despite knowing how good Pilates is for my body, I might be the biggest complainer in class.

Jessie Thebeau
Group Fitness Instructor | Director of Encouragement and Unsolicited Sass

I started at MHW as a member and fell in love with the atmosphere, the people, and the community. Somewhere along the way, I wiggled my way into becoming an instructor!

I’m also a registered nurse with a background in acute and emergency care. Helping people learn, understand their bodies, and build confidence is a big part of nursing, and I love bringing that same care and encouragement into the gym.

In my classes, expect encouragement with a healthy side of sass. I’ll cheer you on, challenge you, and probably give you a hard time along the way. My favorite moments are watching someone accomplish something they didn’t think they could do. I want you to feel proud of what your body can DO and recognize that showing up and putting in the work matters.

Nervous about joining us? You don’t have to get in shape before coming to the gym—that’s why we’re here! We’ll meet you where you are and help you figure things out. You might just find your people.

Outside of MHW, I’m usually spending time with family, gardening, traveling, crocheting, or tackling another home project. Bench press is my favorite exercise. Bulgarian split squats? If someone tells you they love them, I have questions.

Julie Morrison
Office Manager | Trisha’s Unofficial Second Brain


I’m often the person helping things run smoothly behind the scenes—and helping you figure out where you need to be! From booking appointments and getting your supplements to running footbath sessions and answering gym membership questions, I’m here to make your visit a little easier.

I found my way to MHW after working out at the farm with Dave. Then Trisha stole me! I have an associate degree in accounting and experience doing bookwork for other businesses, so organization comes naturally to me.

My favorite part of this job is the people. I love meeting new faces, catching up with familiar ones, and especially hearing someone say, “I haven’t felt this good in a long time.” Those moments make my work meaningful.

If you’re nervous about coming in, know that we’re a goofy, welcoming bunch who want you to feel comfortable. Once I get to know you, you can expect a few jokes, too!

Outside of MHW, you’ll usually find me at home cooking or working on diamond art. I also remember song lyrics from years ago—even when I probably couldn’t tell you the last time I heard the song. And anything by Shinedown will get me moving!

Kevin Ault
Facility Attendant | Unofficial “Grunt”



How did I end up at MHW? I saw a help-wanted post, answered it, and…ta-da! Here I am. I help keep the facility clean and ready for our members. I’m CPR certified and, when it comes to cleaning, wife-trained—which should probably count as its own certification.

My favorite part of being here is helping new people find their spot and feel like they belong. Being a pain in Trisha’s butt is a close second.

If you’re nervous about coming in, remember that we’re all just normal people. Nobody here is perfect, and we’re happy to lend a hand. It feels more like a family than a gym, and there’s room for you here, too.

Around MHW, my unofficial job title is “Grunt,” and you’ll probably hear me say, “You can’t be serious!” But put on “Your Way’s Better” by Forrest Frank, and you’ll get a different reaction—that’s my favorite song to groove to with my son.

Rhonda Baker
Fit for Life 65+ Coach | Unofficial Comedian

I came to MHW looking for something different and started out taking classes. God led me into a coaching spot, and I’ve been coaching since 2021. Now they can’t get rid of me! I’m SilverSneakers certified and coach our Fit for Life 65+ class.

My favorite part of coaching is seeing how happy people get when they notice their own progress. Watching someone grow stronger, gain confidence, and realize their hard work is paying off makes me happy, too.

What can you expect from me? A little squirrel energy, plenty of laughs, and the occasional “That sounds like a terrible idea—what time?” We’ll work hard, but we’ll have a good time doing it.

I especially love helping people feel comfortable walking through the door. If you’re nervous about joining us, you’ll fit right in—we’re all a little crazy here!

Something that might surprise you: I’m actually quiet when I don’t know you. Once I get comfortable, though, you’ll understand why my unofficial job title is “Comedian.”

Tony Dopun
Personal Trainer | Professional Nerd

Years ago a doctor warned me that I needed to fix my lifestyle. Shortly after I was introduced to calisthenics and how to make corrective changes to improve things in my diet. The consistency there allowed me to shed almost 100 pounds in under a year and gave me a ton of strength. I became known as the “calisthenics guy” in my gym and would often coach lifters on how to improve their form with bodyweight movements.

I became very passionate about working out and overall fitness and decided to give bodybuilding a try. I loved it. From there I tried powerlifting for a while. I realized that I really enjoyed most avenues of fitness and wanted to share with the people around me. I helped a few men get stronger and lose some weight along the way (one guy losing over 62 pounds).

I am passionate about helping older men and men with injuries reclaim strength, physique and mobility. I love chatting about fitness science as well.

I currently lead one-on-one personal training, nutrition guidance, and the occasional group class.

Outside of that, I handle PC issues and marketing for the gym. And if someone is ever singing in the shower at MHW, it’s probably my son.

Whitney Austfjord
Pilates Instructor | Unofficial “Five More” Negotiator

Fitness has always been part of my life. My mom was an aerobics instructor who taught classes at our house, and working out together was our time to connect. She introduced me to Pilates and became my inspiration. Pilates still feels like coming home—it grounds me and reminds me of that time together.

I’m a certified Mat Pilates instructor and have been teaching for four years. Creating classes is my creative outlet. I love putting everything together, planning the flow from beginning to end, and seeing how each person responds. I’m an encourager and organizer who likes to keep things fresh—you never quite know what I have planned!

I especially enjoy helping people build confidence, develop body awareness, and strengthen their mind-body connection so they can keep moving well for years to come.

Nervous about your first class? Just give it a try! We’re capable of hard things, and I want you to leave feeling better than when you arrived. Expect encouragement, and an occasional “Suck it up, buttercup”.

Outside of MHW, you’ll find me enjoying nature. And if we’re grabbing food after class, I’m ordering a hamburger!

Shana Mellady
Facility Attendant & Group Fitness Instructor | Unofficial Dance Break Coordinator

Working out has always been a passion of mine, but losing my dad gave taking care of my health a deeper meaning. It motivated me to make my own health a priority and help others do the same. I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, and at MHW, you’ll find me both coaching classes and helping keep the facility ready for our members.

My favorite part is seeing everyone smiling, joking, getting stronger, and feeling better about themselves. Watching people improve and have fun along the way makes this work rewarding.

What can you expect from me? Definitely not a serious face the whole time. I’m the coach dancing while everyone else is questioning how many reps are left. Make eye contact, and there’s a good chance I’ll bust out a move.

Nervous about coming in? My advice is simple: “Just get your butt in here!” Sometimes you have to stop overthinking and take that first step. We’ll help you from there.

Anything by Michael Jackson gets me moving, “Oh dear” is part of my everyday vocabulary, and my hidden talent is making people look at me and ask, “Why are you like this?”
