Owner, Lead Teacher & Teacher Trainer
“I believe that hard work and dedication to your training pays off. My greatest strength as a trainer is I have a no-nonsense approach and thrive with clients that are ready to change their life and fitness. I tend to train the clients on the ”ends of the bell curve’, like someone coming back from major injury or inactive lifestyle, or a high intermediate to advanced client looking to fine tune their training.”
Ray has worked in the fitness, health, and intercollegiate sports industries for over 26 years. Aside from her Classical Pilates certification, she holds advanced degrees in Kinesiology, as well as numerous certifications in pretty much every thing but Yoga. Although you will never catch her calling herself “Dr. Salahuddin”, you will often find her dorking-out over the latest exercise science research with everyone in her class. And speaking of dorking out, a little known fact about Ray is that she’s a huge Star Trek fan. She even named her daughter Deanna after one of the main characters in the Next Generation series. But when she’s not rewriting Star Trek trivia questions, Ray is in the studio, always pushing you to be your very best. She wants to make sure you get every bit of squeeze, stretch, and lift out of each class or session. So yeah, be ready for that! She may not be coaching volleyball anymore, but we still call her “Coach Ray” for a very good reason.
