The #1 Gym in the U.S.

Director of Fitness, Lead Professional

Emily holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse where she majored in exercise and sports science and double minored in nutrition and business administration. Following graduation in May 2016, she pursued a career in corporate wellness before deciding to become a coach with Unity in fall of 2018.

As the oldest of four kids, she grew up adventuring with her family and still enjoys a quiet night camping or sitting by the bonfire. But on the weekends, you can usually find Emily running on the trails in Hixon (yes, she’s one of those crazy people that runs ultramarathons), enjoying a craft beer at the local breweries (preferably a sour or milkshake IPA), or trying a new recipe. Emily and her fiancé are planning their wedding for September 2024, so you may also find her scrolling Pinterest for overly ambitious DIY projects.

As a coach, her mission is to help you take control of your fitness journey and find confidence in yourself you never thought possible. She hates watching people miss out on important life experiences and spend money on programs that underdeliver on promises of quick results. Instead, she strives to individualize each person’s approach to their fitness journey, freeing you to live the life you want with confidence, clarity, and control.

Emily's passion towards helping people has allowed her to pursue the industry's more presitigous continuing education paths and certifications.  She has over $20k invested in her education since graduating from college.

Professional Coach

Kloee has a Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin La-Crosse with a major in Exercise Sports Science and minor in Psychology. She currently is studying be a Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach (CSCS). Growing up, she always knew she wanted to do something that would allow her to combine both sports & exercise with her desire to help others. After tearing her ACL in high school, she initially went to college to be a physical therapist. After a few years, playing a collegiate sport and experiencing exercise and biomechanics classes her path changed.

This would allow her to help not only those working through recovery, but also help people exceed beyond – both athletes or individuals looking to get stronger, feel healthier, and happier with themselves.

Her goal as a coach is to help anyone she can, to work towards being the version of themselves they want to be. She knows the challenges of feeling as if you can’t do everything you’d like to do, but recognizes with commitment and support we can all overcome these obstacles. Becoming the healthier happier versions of ourselves is not an easy journey to take alone, so she wants those she works with to know they have someone they can trust to be by their side with guidance and motivation.

Jacob holds a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Following graduation, he has worked in different gyms from high level powerlifting gyms to big box fitness. In July 2024, he moved to La Crosse and has fallen in love with the area.

Sports have been a major component of Jacob’s life since the age of four. One is his core memories is his dad asking him if he wanted to play T-ball in his kitchen as a child. This question led to years of competition, but also injuries. Multiple surgeries and rehabilitations gave him the interest in, not only bettering himself, but helping others better themselves as well. He truly can put himself in other’s shoes because he has been through tough times and understands what it is like to experience them.

Despite with his multiple injuries, successful rehabilitation and recovery allowed Jacob to play division 3 collegiate baseball. After baseball he pursued bodybuilding and powerlifting, adding to his repertoire as a trainer. Since moving to La Crosse, you’ll frequently catch him riding his bike all over the area with the local EMAG group.

Jordan holds a Bachelors of Science (Physics) with a Biomedical Concentration from the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse.  He was attending graduate school for physical therapy until he spent his first day shadowing as a peronsal trainer/coach, which changed his outlook on helping people with his health and fitness. He started coaching at the end of 2012, creating a professional career out of a profession that has a 9-month average lifespan.  In 2015, Jordan opened Unity FItness.

Growing up playing sports and being active, Jordan fell in love with the journey towards becoming better.  Unfortunately, injuries riddled a lot of his younger years forcing him to sit out and miss games/events with his friends and family.  His passion for helping people get out of pain and enjoying more of what life has to offer goes all the way back to his teens and dealing with injuries throughout his younger adult years. Becoming a coach offered a proactive approach to helping clients achieve their goals. Instead of waiting until they got hurt or had surgery, he could help people prevent injuries and surgeries all together while also helping them not miss out on life (or sport)!  This has allowed Jordan to follow his mantra of: so someone like me can have someone like me.

When Jordan isn't in the gym (which isn't very often), you can find him out on the golf course, spending time with his friends and family, especially with his wife Mandy and there three bulldogs Maximus, Millicent, and Montana, or at one of the many incredible local small businesses in the area.

Jordan's passion for helping others achieve their goals and beyond has led him down a long road of continuing education and certifications.  Jordan holds over 25 certifications and has spend nearly $100k on pursuing education for himself and his team since becoming a coach in 2012 and has been named Golf Digest's Best Fitness Trainer in America.
