Haylee Hansen
Coach/Personal Trainer

• NASM CPT

Haylee has been a personal trainer since 2022 and loves helping people feel strong, capable, and confident. One of her favorite parts of coaching is helping people do things they didn’t think they could do and getting to know the people she works with along the way. She also believes workouts should be something you enjoy, so she brings plenty of energy and fun into her coaching.

​

Haylee enjoys a little bit of everything when it comes to training. She’s currently training for HYROX, but also loves running, lifting, and mixing things up. She enjoys training for races and challenges, but also loves helping people work toward whatever their goals may be.

​

Haylee recently moved to Colorado from California with her husband, their two kids, and their chocolate lab. Outside of the gym, she enjoys getting outside, reading a good book, and spending time with her family.

​

She’s excited to meet new people, be part of the community, and help members find a more confidence in what they’re capable of.

Leigh Poehls 

Coach/Yoga Instructor

• Certified Yoga Instructor

I have been practicing yoga since I was a teenager and originally it was suggested as another challenging workout, which it was, however once I dove deeper I stayed for the strength, fluidity, and meditative quality.

I completed my teacher training through CorePower Yoga and continue expanding my knowledge with additional trainings to consistently grow my practice. My classes are known for their creative, challenging flows that combine strength and breath work that leaves students feeling strong, grounded, and energized.

My teaching style is rooted in building trust, having fun, and encouraging a growth mindset. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or brand new to the mat, I hope to bring a welcoming energy that makes every class both empowering and enjoyable.

Jenny Phelps

• NASM CPT

Jenny helps people build strength, confidence, and a body they can rely on for the life they want to live. As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and lifelong educator, she brings a clear, supportive teaching style to fitness making movement feel understandable, approachable, and empowering.

​

Her coaching is rooted in the exploration of embodied movement: the belief that getting stronger is not just physical, but an opportunity to become more connected to your body. She guides clients to activate underused muscles, improve mobility and coordination, and develop deeper awareness and control. Strength training becomes a way to learn about yourself, expand your capabilities, and feel at home in your body.

​

With a career spent helping people learn and grow, Jenny meets clients exactly where they are. She blends curiosity, encouragement, and thoughtful progression to help beginners feel confident, experienced athletes break through plateaus, and adventurers prepare their bodies for whatever they want to keep doing.

​

Outside the gym, Jenny is usually mountain biking, strength training, exploring Colorado, painting, or planning her next adventure. She believes fitness should make your life bigger, not smaller, and she’s excited to help the Training Ground community get stronger, stay curious, and keep doing the things they love.
