Jen Siegal
AFFA Certified Personal Trainer
USA Boxing Level 1 Coach
In 1998, I began competing as a professional boxer and soon after became an assistant coach at my local gym. My love for boxing and fitness translated into a love of seeing other ordinary people fall in love with boxing and fitness. Since then I have had the privilege of training elite athletes, soldiers, busy professionals, and even busier stay-at-home moms. As a volunteer boxing coach I devote time during the week to several boxing programs on Oahu. For more than one reason, not least of which being a lack of competition opportunities, my own personal fitness goals have shifted from being a professional boxer to a kettlebell sport athlete. I am currently training and hope to compete within a year. I am happy to be the mother of my 4-year old son, Leonard, who aspires to one day be a super-hero, and the person of Honey, my lovely Boxer dog. I look forward to many years in Hawaii, raising my boy and enjoying the benefits of being a fitness trainer in paradise.

Michelle Fredrickson
Personal Training/Boxing Instructor/Conditioning Coach
My passion and commitment for training others stems from my longtime involvement in Mixed Martial Arts. I began my fitness journey 21 years ago when I started training and competing as martial artist and amateur kick-boxer. My love for mixed martial arts was instantaneous. By the age of 16, I was instructing others in martial arts, teaching technical classes, and running conditioning drills. While I took a short break from coaching, I pursued a degree as an Elementary Educator and have been teaching for the past 8 years in California, China, and now Hawaii.
I have combined my love for teaching with my passion for fitness. I attained my AFAA personal training certification in May 2008. I enjoy helping clients meet their personal fitness goals by combining High Intensity Interval Training with Boxing and kickboxing techniques. This provides a fun atmosphere while helping students to meet personal fitness goals.
I understand the commitment and discipline needed to reach fitness goals. I have trained with top MMA athletes that currently compete on the professional circuit. I competed as a martial artist, kick-boxer and ran a half-marathon. Training others allows me to share my love and passion for keeping a healthy mind, body and spirit.

Substitute Instructors:
Christina Carran
Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritionist
Growing up in Colorado, Christina was always actively involved in sports, from soccer to snowboarding to mountain biking. However, it wasn’t until 2002 after exploring the role of diet in her own life that she realized her passion for nutrition and fitness as a career. Christina now holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Dietetics and a Master’s of Science in Applied Nutritional Science with an Emphasis in Nutrition & Fitness.
Since beginning her career in nutrition and fitness, Christina has implemented a children’s nutrition series, launched an adult weight loss program and created two successful three-month weight loss challenges at a local fitness center. In 2008, she expanded the fitness side of her career as an AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor at Travis Air Force Base in California where she began teaching classes, including those for military members on profiles and leading squadron PTs. She then went on to become an AFAA Certified Personal Trainer in 2009. Later that year she launched her own business, Carran Nutrition and Fitness, offering in-home and online nutrition consulting and personal training.
In addition to her time at the gym, Christina enjoys hiking and camping with her husband and dog, running with friends, playing soccer, and snowboarding… however, now that her husband’s career in the Air Force has brought her to Hawaii, she’s hoping to trade in her snowboard for a surfboard!
Christina has worked with clients and friends of all walks of life – from 6 years old to 60, from the completely unmotivated to the passionately fit, from stay-at-home mothers to parents who barely have time for dinner when they get home from work; and she loves it all! Christina believes that each individual has the right and ability to be the best version of his/herself, and that nutrition and fitness has to be tailored to meet that individual’s needs and goals. Seeing the obstacles people overcome and changes they make for themselves through diet and fitness, whether external or internal, is by far the most rewarding part of the job and what makes Christina love going to work every day.
