MEET THE COACHES
BRYTNEE COLSCH, OWNER
I was born and raised in Waukon, IA, and now live out in the country just outside of New Albin. There’s nothing better than peaceful country living. When I’m not in the gym, you’ll find me soaking it up outdoors especially on the Mississippi River in the summer. At home, I’m a proud (step)mom to a 7-year-old, and life with two cats, a dog, and hopefully a few horses soon keeps things busy and fun!
​
My fitness journey really began after high school. Growing up, I was constantly active in sports, but once that ended, I realized staying in shape wasn’t just going to “happen.” Between high school and college graduation, I gained about 40 pounds and found myself stuck chasing a number on the scale without real direction. That’s when I decided to hire a coach. I needed accountability, guidance, and someone to help me break that cycle. Once I truly committed, everything clicked. I fell in love with fitness and nutrition and discovered a passion for helping others see what they’re capable of when they stop giving up on themselves.
​
Since 2021, I’ve been coaching in person, and in 2022 I expanded into online coaching through the 1st Phorm app. In July 2025, I took a huge leap of faith and left my career as a full-time X-ray Technologist to coach full-time and I couldn’t be more grateful.
​
I’m beyond excited to continue helping people transform their lives. Just remember: we all start somewhere, and no question is ever too small to ask. My only rule is that you meet me halfway. I’ll always match your effort, but you have to bring it too. When life changes (because it does), the sooner you reach out to adjust your plan, the easier it’ll be for both of us to keep moving forward.

Let’s crush your goals together!
CASSIDY SPONEM, COACH
I grew up in Plain, Wisconsin, and now live in the country just outside of Arena with my husband, our 3.5-year-old twin boys, and our rescue pup, Gunner. Before coaching, I worked as a certified medical assistant and now I help manage my husband’s trucking business but my most rewarding job is being a stay at home mom. Outside of coaching, I’m all about quality time with family and friends. I love trying new recipes, moving my body in ways that feel good, and sneaking in a good book when I can.
I’m a certified fitness coach with a passion for helping women confident in every season of life. I’ve been coaching since November 2024 and recently earned my Women’s Health Certification to better support my clients.
My passion for fitness didn’t happen overnight. I was always active growing up, playing sports but after my sports career ended, I gained about 50 pounds by the time I finished college. As I started my career in healthcare, I slowly began prioritizing my health again. About a year into my solo fitness journey, I became pregnant with twins. My pregnancy and postpartum were some of the hardest seasons of my life.
I eventually hired a coach, but I’ll be honest: I wasn’t consistent with my workouts or nutrition, I didn’t see results, and I quit four months in. But watching others achieve their goals lit a fire in me and I realized that if I wanted real change, I had to show up with real consistency and effort. After a six-month break, I reached back out to Brytnee, and that decision changed everything. Fitness and health became a part of my life I never imagined, and helped me rediscover the confidence I had lost in motherhood.
Now, I’m passionate about helping other women do the same. My coaching is rooted in real life because I know firsthand what it’s like to juggle family, work, and the never-ending to-do list while still trying to prioritize your health. I believe in sustainable habits, and flexibility that fit your lifestyle.
My mission is to continue empowering others with the guidance and accountability you need every step of the journey.
KAYLEIGH HAMANN, COACH
I grew up in northeast Iowa and now live out in the country with my husband, Joseph, and our two dogs. We’re outside any chance we get.. hunting, spending time on family land, or just enjoying the quiet. When I’m not training, you’ll find me working on small projects, with friends and family, or teaching students through my job in Ag in the Classroom. My career keeps me busy and constantly on the go, so I understand what it’s like to balance health with a demanding lifestyle.
I’ve always loved being active, especially as a runner. I even ran competitively in college, but once that season ended, my routine disappeared. Between the stress of classes, life changes, and losing that structure, I gained weight and didn’t feel like myself anymore. I tried figuring it out on my own for a long time, but nothing really stuck.
In 2024, I finally reached out to Brytnee and started working with her as my coach and that was the moment everything changed. I committed to strength training, learned what true consistency looked like, and found a lifestyle that made me feel strong and capable again. What started as wanting to get back on track turned into a complete transformation in how I approach fitness, discipline, and taking care of myself.
I’m now a certified nutrition coach with a passion for helping others build balance in their busy lives. I love teaching sustainable habits, building structure that’s flexible, and helping people feel confident in their bodies and their routines. My coaching is realistic, supportive, and rooted in the belief that your goals should fit your life, not take it over.
My mission is to help you become the strongest, healthiest, and most confident version of yourself while still living a life you love.
Let’s do this together!
