Alli
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.

Ashley
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!

Tye
My name is Tye Coleman I grew up in Tinton Falls, but currently reside in Howell. I am a father to my 12 yr old son Shawn, 6 yr old daughter Alex, and 2 yr old son Tyler. Growing up all I did was play sports but my main sport of choice was football. I’ve played football since the age seven all the way up to college. I attended Rowan University in 2008-2012. A few years after college, I landed a job as assistant football coach for my old high school. Instantly, I love it. I feel in love with developing kids to be better at the sport and the process. Three years into coaching, I starting training kids during their off seasons and started a training LLC called “Boss Up Academy S&A. I became NASM certified trainer in 2019 and started my journey as personal trainer. In November of 2020, a close friend working at Maddog Athletic and Fitness told me to come in to Maddog about an opportunity and the rest was history. Working at, now Landmark Athletic and Fitness has been nothing but awesome. Meeting new people and being about of the fitness journey is the best part. I am excited to see what the future holds. You can catch me in the 6 am, 8 am , and the afternoon class at 5, 6 pm. Bless up!

Frank
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!

Jada
Rise
Growing up I played competitive soccer and danced for many years right in all of the shore towns of New Jersey. My passion and dedication lead to me to have a collegiate soccer career playing at a division one level. After a few hardships, (physical and mental) I found my peace and tranquility through the art of yoga.
During the five years of finding myself in my physical practice, I realize how much yoga has become monumental in my journey of healing. Intertwining my breath and movement became therapy for me. The amount of serenity I’ve gained mentally, physically, and emotionally just by slowing my breath and finding my center has lead me as far as wanting to share what I’ve found with the rest of the world. Between the knowledge and depth of what this beautiful practice of yoga has to offer, I am very grateful to be able to share what I have learned and am still learning with all of you at LAF rise studio.

Jodie

Nicole
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.

Nina
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.
