Edie

Edie started their most recent fitness journey after finishing a hike with her family in 2019 and realizing her ankles had swollen up like a pair of cantaloupes. They started their workouts with at-home cardio and light weights, but eventually came to love lifting heavy. Over the course of the next couple years she learned better form and more workouts from a personal trainer of her own. She is now ready to use her expertise she has learned over the course of her journey to help others.

Accessible training

Fitness does not have to fit one gym culture.

MKE Valkyrie is built for people who want strength and consistency without being forced into a one-size-fits-all gym environment. That includes people who are new to exercise, neurodivergent clients, LGBTQ+ clients, and anyone who needs fitness to feel more approachable.

For some people, gyms can feel overwhelming or unwelcoming. In-home personal training can create a calmer starting point, while gym-based support can help clients build confidence with shared equipment and fitness spaces over time.
