Vive Trainer
My name is Kayla Marie Hayes! I moved to Chatttown in January after graduation. I was a four year softball athlete at Bryan College while obtaining my B.S. in Exercise and Health Sciences as well as my certification for personal training. I have a passion for sports, health, and helping others which has brought me to my current status as a coach at Vive, and a student in the Graduate Athletic Training Program at UTC. If you’re reading this, I would love to have you in class and to learn more about your goals! I hope to see you soon!
Colleen Houghton
Vive Trainer
I am a New Jersey native who moved to Chattanooga in the spring 2020. I have worked in fitness for the better part of 15 years. I got my ‘start’ as a kickboxing instructor (nothing is better than striking a heavy bag) and have gone on to become a NASM certified personal trainer and Level 1 USA Weightlifting coach. I LOVE to lift weights (deadlifts are my favorite) and I’m always on a mission to add reps to my pull up count. I am competitive in the gym…mostly just with myself. I have three awesome kiddos and a goldendoodle that keep me busy when I’m not in the gym. I am all about finding balance between workouts, recovery, healthy eating, and the occasional splurge! Proud to be part of the VIVE TRIBE
