MEET OUR CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINERS!

Darla Powell

About you: 

  • Certifications: Bodypump®, RPM®, Pound®, ACE Personal Trainer
  • Healthy Living Coordinator
  • Biggest result with a client: I trained a young lady who needed to lose several pounds prior to surgery. When we began, she was frustrated and lacked cardio stamina. After her surgery, she became a total workout enthusiast and met ever challenge head on.
  • How you would define your training style: Listening is the foundation. From there trust, goal-setting, motivation and challenges will become the building blocks.
  • Favorite workout: RPM®
  • Your Y story: My Y story actually began when I took swimming lessons at the YMCA on the corner of Seminary and East Ferris Streets in downtown Galesburg. Next, some 25+ years later, my son joined the Summer Adventures Day Camp. It was reassuring to know that he was supervised, safe and having fun with friends each day. And now, for several years, I have been a Group Fitness Instructor at the Y and had the opportunity to become certified as an ACE Personal Trainer in addition to taking on the role of the Healthy Living Coordinator! I am so very appreciative of those who encouraged me and saw my potential to step forward as a leader.

Carley Pringle

About you:

  • Certifications: NCCA accredited NASM CPT, Women’s Fitness Specialist(WFS), Weight Loss Specialist(WLS), SilverSneakers Foundations. 
  • How would you describe your training style: I would say that I don’t have a set training style. Like many things in life, we constantly need to adapt and adjust things. My goal with training is to work now for the long run or future, to feel healthier, and to move better every day. Everyone deserves to feel better inside and out. 
  • Favorite workout: Strength training/ stability training   
  • Your Y and fitness story: To make a long story short, my Y story starts 7 years ago. I was experiencing postpartum anxiety after the birth of my daughter, and working out at home wasn’t helping. My therapist suggested that I try to go back to the gym. I signed up the next day. I was able to find myself again. I loved knowing that when I came to the Y I could bring my children to childwatch and spend the next hour caring for myself. I fell in love with weightlifting and the ability to constantly challenge myself. I feel in love with the science behind how our muscles work. The Y and the gym itself has helped me recover mentally and physically. I hope to give back the same knowledge and passion I have found.

Chris Lopez

About you:

  • Certifications: NASM CPT 7 Personal Trainer
  • How would you describe your training style? At the surface, Personal Training can seem just like a physical transformation. But in truth, I want my clients to be stronger in mind, body and spirit. Strengthening these will lead to lifestyle changes not temporary change.
  • Favorite workout: Weight training.
  • Your Y story: My Y story is me coming to Galesburg as a child and the Y basically being my home-away-from-home. Fitness was tied into my life at a young age coming to the Y to play basketball and run around with other kids. This led me to pursue athletics and become a two-sport athlete from 7th grade through high school. And now, I want to payback the years the Y has given to me to you all.
