Heather Geurts

My passion for all things fitness runs deep – over 2 decades deep! It’s been an ever-evolving journey that started with certifications in cardio dance fitness and boot camp instruction at Wausau Health & Fitness. In 2007, I added my NASM personal training certification and kept expanding from there, exploring every corner of the fitness world. Over the years I’ve become certified in pre and postnatal fitness, strength and conditioning, boxing, Insanity, PIYO, and Hot Pilates.

For the past 8 years, I’ve been a personal trainer at NFP Gym, continuing to grow, evolve, and connect with an incredible community of movers.

Through all of that experience, I’ve learned how to teach everyBODY to move, lift, balance, and thrive in ways that protect their joints, build strength, and enhance ANY type of fitness lifestyle. I truly believe movement, coupled with the ability to let go physically and mentally, can change a person’s entire life! My mission is to help as many people as possible experience the magic of the mind-body connection. I want you to feel, look, and become the strongest, most confident version of yourself!

Tara Nowak

Hi, I’m Tara — a New Found Power Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, Nutrition Coach, Mindset Specialist, and Professional Figure Athlete.

With years of experience in weight loss, strength and conditioning, injury prevention, bodybuilding, nutrition, mindset, and wellness coaching, I help clients of all ages and fitness levels move better, feel stronger, and confidently reach their goals. Whether you're stepping into the gym for the first time or pushing toward a personal best, my mission is to guide you with smart strategy, compassionate support, and tools that lead to lasting change.

My coaching style is built on connection, education, and progress. I want to help you persevere, believe in yourself, and create a healthier, happier lifestyle — inside and outside the gym.

My own journey began right within these very walls — in 2017. I know what it’s like to feel unsure, to start over, and to wonder if lasting change is possible. I’ve lived that transformation, and because of it, I coach from both knowledge and experience. If I can do it, you can too.

Let’s train with purpose and build the strongest version of you.

Chris Stroik

Hi, I’m Chris.

I’ve been personal training since 2012 and have been actively training myself since I was a freshman in high school back in 2000. Fitness has been a consistent part of my life for over two decades, not just as a profession, but as a personal commitment.

My training philosophy pulls from a wide range of disciplines. I believe the best results come from combining the most effective elements of bodybuilding and hypertrophy training, powerlifting, cardiovascular conditioning, mobility, and flexibility work. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness. Every client is different, and training should be tailored to each individual’s abilities, goals, and lifestyle.

Through my own experience competing in multiple 5Ks, weightlifting, and other fitness events, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative consistent training can be. I strongly believe in the balance between intelligent weight training, cardiovascular conditioning, and a supportive, nourishing diet as the foundation for long-term success.

I don’t view exercise as something I have to do, I see it as something I get to do. If you’re able to walk into a gym and move your body, that’s a gift. Taking care of your body is a responsibility, and striving to become the best version of yourself is part of honoring that gift.

Results come from commitment, proper nutrition, and hard work, there are no shortcuts. That’s the mindset I bring to my clients, my classes, and my own training. My approach is honest, disciplined, and no-nonsense, but it works.

Makenzie Stroik

I’m Makenzie Stroik – a transformation specialist at New Found Power, and I help women lose weight, build lean, athletic muscle, and break free from the cycles that keep them stuck.

I started my journey as an NPC figure competitor, but after hitting the wall with extreme dieting and burnout, I dove deep into holistic nutrition, detoxification, feminine embodiment, and nervous system regulation. What I learned transformed my life, and it’s now the foundation of how I coach.

Women come to me when they’re DONE feeling tired, puffy, inflamed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their bodies… and they’re ready for a full reset.

My approach blends strength training, mobility, metabolic conditioning, fasting protocols, gut-healing nutrition, and emotional grounding work to help women reclaim their confidence, energy, and power from the inside out.

If you’re ready to feel strong, light, and unstoppable again, I’m here to help you rise!
