Keely Grand
Certified Personal Trainer+

I’ve been working in the fitness industry for over 20 years. My clients, trainings, and certifications have helped me grow in my profession, allowing me to serve people more fully. And everything I’ve learned has also helped me become stronger and healthier. Although my athletic prowess looks different in my mid-40’s, I have been at my favorite sport, running, for 30 years!

What have I done and where have I been?

After earning my master’s degree in Health Communication from Emerson College, I moved to San Diego. I worked as a personal trainer, health educator for brain and spinal cord injury prevention, and a fitness director. Life moved me to San Francisco where I worked as a personal trainer and with the birth of my first kiddo I launched a Stroller Strides/Fit4Mom franchise! I operated my small business for six years before we moved one more time to Portland, OR. In Portland I coached track and field and cross country for six years, worked as a group exercise instructor for a local studio, and ran a personal training studio out of my garage. During these years I kept on gathering certifications that I was interested in, but I felt like I couldn’t really use them while just operating out of my home studio. I wanted to reach and help more people, so I made a change to finally open my own studio!

I love my work!

Helping people feel strong and happy in their bodies has brought a ton of joy to my life. I’ve been fortunate to work with a lot of people from various backgrounds and professions and it’s been cool to know that the work that I do, helps someone do the work they want to do.

My goal is always to put into action all of the training, education, and experience I’ve gathered over the past 20+ years to bring personalized training, strength and joy to each client.
