Director – AthletE Performance, Achieve Personal Training, Fight Club
Hi all! Coach Alli Ross here. I’m a Belmar native, a TCNJ graduate, and a NASM certified personal trainer. I still live in Belmar today with my husband, 3 amazing daughters and 1 crazy cockapoo. I’ve been a fitness enthusiast my entire life from playing team sports to just working out on my own. I fell in love with bootcamp style and functional fitness in 2016 thanks to an amazing instructor and friend. I started with Landmark in 2019 as a guest Sunday instructor. I immediately loved the facility, the people and the overall vibe, and I soon became the regular Sunday coach. I’m definitely an early bird, so you’ll mostly find me coaching the 5 and 6ams during the week with an occasional evening class sprinkled in. The thing I love the most about Landmark is definitely the people. I like challenging members to be their best and to have a little bit of fun doing it. When I’m not at LAF, I enjoy staying active with my family.
Hello! My name is Ashley! I was born and raised in Rhode Island but have fallen in love with the Jersey Shore and planted myself here to stay! I am on the Member Services team here at LAF and love every minute of it! I love people (my degree is in psychology) and LAF has quickly become a community to me! Working full time remotely with a Traveling Nurse company I understand the importance of getting away from a computer screen and prioritizing health, fitness, growth and relationships. I am passionate about seeing others (and myself) grow and breakthrough what once may have seemed impossible! This place is like no other gym. The multiple studios that are offered are all incredible and each coach is knowledgeable to instruct, train and care for each member. Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Fight Club
My name is Frank Kellogg, I grew up in Piscataway, NJ and I now live in Little Egg Harbor, NJ. I first got into fitness by starting martial arts and football in high school. I continued with various martial arts throughout college, while also making weight lifting and strength training a more serious part of my life. I started a small summer fitness business in 2016 right after graduating college “just to make some money to go on vacation”. It worked needless to say and went to the Dominican Republic for 10 days before starting my life as an auditor for a Big 4 accounting firm. I worked there for approximately 1.5 years and then I decided I would return to my passions which were martial arts and fitness. I earned my 2nd degree black belt in Taekwondo about 3 months after the end of my accounting career. I then took on my first fitness coaching job at Trident Fitness & Performance (which unfortunately didn’t make it through the pandemic era) but did lead to me eventually getting my position here at Landmark Athletics & Fitness. Some fun facts about me, during the pandemic era I attended some multi-day outdoor survival training, and travelled to Morocco, Africa for 3 months to volunteer with some kid’s fitness programs. Tons of stories!

Fight Club
Hello Landmark!! I am Coach Nicole Giacopelli and I am part of the LAF Fight Club Program. I grew up in Queens, NY and moved to Point Pleasant Beach in 2021. I have been boxing and kickboxing since 2015, coaching since 2017. Although, I have been a coach, instructor, and teacher my entire life. Dance is another passion of mine but teaching is part of who I am. I received a Masters in Elementary Education from Fairleigh Dickinson University, this led me to start a program called Coco Dance Kids. I absolutely love every aspect of my life and am excited to bring positivity and learning into my classes. The Landmark community is unmatched and I’m grateful to be a part of it.
I’m Coach Nina, a local to the Jersey shore, although I did have a brief experience living in Hawaii for a short time. I live near LAF with my husband, my daughter and my dog who, you will notice, makes occasional appearances (not the dog). I didn’t grow up playing sports, but I did participate in dance and gymnastics. My first real attempt at a “team sport” was playing intramural rugby in Kutztown. GOOD TIMES!
I grew more involved with fitness in 2011 when I joined Crossfit. Who knew training and even conditioning could be so fun?!
Soon after that my passion for fitness grew and I recognized that I wanted to help others improve their lives and discover that although achieving your fitness goals can be challenging, it can also be fun and extremely rewarding!
I had the good fortune of meeting coach Erin. She introduced me to the LAF team, who greeted me with open arms in February 2019, the rest was history!
Outside of LAF you can find me on the beach in Manasquan running our local Paddleboard and Kayak Rental Company. You may even see some of our Paddle Fit and SUP Yoga classes pop up on the LAF Schedule from time to time! Otherwise, I love gardening, entertaining, and hanging out with my family and friends.

Hey!! My name is Sydney. You will see me at the check in desk, mostly in the Rise Studio, here at LAF. I currently live in Manasquan, NJ and I am a junior at Monmouth University. I am a health studies major and hope to attend PA school after I graduate. Growing up in tight knit dance studios made going to the gym extremely intimidating, but here at LAF both the members and the staff are such welcoming, genuine, and supportive people. I am so grateful to be apart of this team and look forward to seeing you all here!
