Our Team

Tina

Director – Fitness, Cycle, RISE Studio
Tina has always been an advocate of cycle, yoga, fitness and healthy living. She entered the fitness world years ago through the cycle room! She loved teaching high energy cycle classes and loved helping others to get healthy while having fun, getting motivated and seeing mental and physical results! Tina continued her studies in clinical psychology, later getting her counseling license, leading her to work as a school counselor, an outpatient psychotherapist and a group facilitator for a local cancer foundation. Her love for health and exercise took a back seat as clinical psychology took the front seat for many years. After having two awesome children, Tina was struggling to place cycle, yoga and fitness again as a priority. Balancing being a new mom and a professional counselor left no room for self-care. Fitting in exercise was a huge challenge….at first! Tina quickly understood the power movement and slowly balanced it to be just as much of a priority as being a good Momma! Tina chose to make herself a priority and as a result, slowly began losing stubborn baby weight and gradually got back to herself…actually an even better, healthier, and more fit version, setting a great example for her little humans! Tina’s passion to help others is evident in her therapy work! She slowly started to realize that this passion to help others could also lead her back into the fitness industry resulting in completion of ISSA and IIIA Personal Training, TRX, Spin and 200 hour Yoga certifications! Tina continues to spread healthy living on a daily basis! She loves every minute of helping others reach their full potential mentally, emotionally and physically! Tina is the lucky wife of Dan the Man and mother of the awesome Gavin and Addyson. She enjoys going on adventures with her family which also include her Boxer pup, Harper! The beach or the bay are two places you will find her! It is her mission to share the passion for health and fitness and the self-love she has for herself with others in hopes that they too can experience the good life!

Alli

Assistant Bootcamp Director

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

Member Services Team Lead

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!

Michele

Assistant RISE Director
Hello everyone! It’s Michele Dougard, your friendly yoga teacher here! A North Jersey transplant, I live in Belmar with my husband and 2 kitties. Ever the scholar, I have degrees from Kean University, Felician University, and UC San Diego. I found meditation at an early age and have been practicing yoga for over 15 years. I am a 500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher and have studied many types of yoga, allowing me to create a wonderful environment for my students. My style of teaching is fun and playful as well as insightful, sometimes using unconventional sources for inspiration. I believe my lighthearted approach to teaching puts students at ease, making it inclusive, and allowing them to fully embrace their practice. I’m new to Landmark, having started teaching this Fall, but I love the environment, the dedication of the management and staff and am honored to be part of it. I’m currently teaching a few classes on the schedule and hope to offer more as the yoga area grows and develops. The students I have encountered at Landmark are amazing and I love teaching them! In my free time, I love to explore new places and restaurants. Namaste!

Gina

PM RISE

Hello Hello!! I am Coach Gina Cappiello. I’ve been teaching all types of fitness since 2008. Always being into fitness as a dancer, cheerleader, soccer player & track runner, I started teaching Zumba as an adult. Eventually, Zumba branched out to Aqua Zumba, Barre, Pilates, Rowing, Yoga, Spin & anything else thrown my way. I truly LOVE teaching fitness classes and especially at LAF. Being able to work together to achieve goals and stay healthy has been so fulfilling. When I’m not teaching fitness classes, I am teaching full time Spanish at Mater Dei Prep High School. I teach all levels up to Spanish 4 honors! I fell in love with the Spanish language and culture and have really enjoyed teaching to all levels of students. Outside of school and fitness, I am a mom to two children, Chase & Kylie. They are 12 and 11 and fun fact-they are 11 months apart! In June they are the same age for 24 days. We enjoy staying active together-bike riding, going to the beach, skiing, hiking, kitchen dance parties and playing sports together. I love to cook, read, dance, sun bathe, travel and go on adventures. In the summer time, I teach stand up paddleboard (SUP) lessons & also yoga on the board. Come visit! Right now at LAF, you can catch me teaching Yoga, Pilates & Spin. I love spending that time with new and old friends.

Anita

Anita’s passion for movement, from mobility to kettlebell training, and her unique perspective light the spark with everyone she trains with. Certified Personal Trainer (ACE, NCCPT) and weight management specialist, Anita brings many years of Group Fitness instructing to the LAF Family.

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!

Jaclyn

Bootcamp, Cycle
Coach Jaclyn was born and raised in Wall Township and although she spent a few years down in Florida, she’s so happy to now live in Manasquan with her husband and four children. She was first introduced to athletic training through sports and soon fell in love with the feeling of challenging her body both mentally and physically. As a teen, she’d use her babysitting money to cover her own gym membership and this is when she began to appreciate the group fitness setting as it reminded her of working out with a team. In 2008 she took the day off of work to attend her first fitness conference with AFAA, got certified, and slowly began leading classes. 14 years later, she still loves encouraging people of all fitness levels to achieve their goals and become better and stronger versions of themselves! When not at the gym you can find her outside, at the beach, or cheering on the Florida State Seminoles.

Kendall

Cycle
Kendall joins us with 7 years of cycle experience and most recently working for SoulCycle. Her background in dance led her to falling in love with rhythm riding, combining movement and music for an exceptional workout experience. Through her previous training she is able to combine the best aspects of every studio and training program to create a class of her own. Her music is eclectic: everything from Bruce Springsteen to thunder beats, dance classics to disco, her playlists have a little bit of everything. She encourages celebration of your mind, body and spirit in all of her classes. Getting a good workout should be FUN—so don’t take yourself too seriously and come clip in!

Kiki

Rise

Hey everybody, my name is Keyila Fisher but I also go by Kiki, key, keeks, whatever rolls off the tongue easier. Born In Jersey but spent my youth in Easton Pennsylvania. School initially brought me to the shore area but after dropping out I planted roots in Belmar. The first yoga class I ever took was in high school at a local studio in town. I vaguely remember that experience but I do remember feeling super relaxed. Fast forward to 2020, what a year that was…. I officially had my 200hr ryt certification. I started teaching shortly after that. I’ve bounced around, teaching at a few studios and landed at landmark fitness. The people here, I swear, Make my day brighter. Such joy and willingness to show up, every week. & Nothing brings me more joy than guiding people back into their bodies and heart and back to the essence of who they are. That’s what it’s about for me. We all have the knowledge already within, sometimes it takes help from another to remember.

Moe

Cycle

Moe joins us with a history of Spin experience     She will provide you with a class full of hard work, sweat, and a lot of laughs! She always has a way to make you laugh even on the most challenging climbs!

Nina

Bootcamp

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.

Madina

Member Services
Hi! I’m Madina! I currently teach Kindergarten SPED in Howell. Therefore, working out for me is a healthy outlet that I utilize during my school year. I’ve always enjoyed working out and going to a gym but needed a gym that was going to hold me accountable. When I first joined LAF back in November, I fell in love immediately! Between the classes, coaches, and friendships gained, I was certain this was THE gym. You’ll usually find me at the 5pm classes or in the cycle studio! I’m thankful to be a part of this staff and even more thankful for what it has given me in such a short amount of time! I look forward to meeting new faces while working here!

Sydney

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!
