Courtney Hutton
CARDIO+STRENGTH & RESISTANCE & STRENGTH Instructor
Home Studio: Louisville
Courtney’s love of fitness and movement started in her early years through college as a dancer. In her adult years, she was always a solid member of her gym, especially loving the experience and community that a group fitness class offered. Finding herself eventually in front of the room leading the class, she takes great pride in delivering creative and thoughtful programming, energy and motivation, and always a good sweat. Courtney’s classes empower her students to find their grit, their edge, and most importantly their satisfaction in achieving physically more than they thought possible! Courtney has worked with clients of all fitness levels and loves helping them achieve their goals.

Madison Simmons
RESISTANCE
Home Studio: Boulder & Louisville
Madison was born and raised in Southern California. There she attended and graduated from Cal State University of Long Beach with a BA in Dance Science. Her involvement in dance growing up encouraged her in the direction of Pilates to help facilitate her dance training. She fell in love with Pilates just after her first mat class and knew that it was something she wanted to continue and eventually share with other people. She received her 400 hour classical Pilates certification with a dance specialization through Body Arts and Sciences. She feels Mecha takes the Pilates concepts and adds an elevated level of strength and mobility training to it. She believes movement is a form of medicine and loves being able to help people get excited about moving their bodies.
