My name is Annie Flynn, one of the on-staff trainers at The Fit Box.  I grew up in Rochester, Michigan and I have two adult daughters, both of which are married.  Not only do I possess an athletic nature, but I am also rather adventurous, so it was only natural that immediately after high school  I pursued my first degree from Northern Michigan University in Recreation Management, which encompasses both sports and recreational activities. Upon graduation, I worked in our family business until I reached my early 50’s.  It was then I decided to pursue my life-long dream, put my degree to use in a different way, and begin to help others get into shape through a fun and healthy process!

To facilitate my dream becoming a reality, I furthered my education at the National Personal Training Institute, in Rochester.  I received my Personal Trainer Certification through NASM.  I also have acquired several other certifications, including Kettlebell, TRX Suspension, and Group Training.

I started out conducting boot camps for friends and doing one-on-one personal training until I arrived at The Fit Box! I loved the whole concept of cardio boxing while mixing it up with circuit training/strength training/HIIT/Tabataformat!  I knew I had realized another of my personal goals in my quest to help people get fit, and have fun doing it!

As a 59-year-old woman, I feel I give inspiration to people of all ages, showing by example that it is never too late to achieve your goals and live a healthy, happy lifestyle.

To some of our members I am “Mom”….to others, I am their peer….and to ALL, I am a friend. I love that I am able to say that at The Fit Box, we are one big happy family, and we keep each other accountable!

On my days off, you just might find me out doing some of the things I enjoy most, such as downhill skiing, hiking, water skiing, biking, kayaking, paddle boarding….or camping someplace where I can enjoy doing all of it!!
