Coach Tracy K
Tracy K joined the Fitness320 team in May 2020 and launched her first camp on July 21, 2020.
“Bootcamp is a place filled with motivation, inspiration, love, knowledge and all the support needed to reach goals you only dreamed of. Bootcamp is a group of strong women empowering each other to reach goals and change that negative talk into motivation to drive you to succeed!”
Tracy has been married to her husband for 13 years and they have two sons, Logan and Mason. They all love the beach, mountains, hiking, family bike rides, movies and hanging with family and friends.
On August 27, 2018, Tracy was diagnosed with Celiac disease.
“I believe that being diagnosed with Celiac disease started a journey that I didn’t see coming. I was determined to better my health. Fitness then became a priority in my life. Becoming my own health advocate and keeping exercise in my daily routine, all directed me on this path to become a Bootcamp coach. I am so passionate about health and fitness and am incredibly grateful to share my passion and to coach others on their very own fitness journey!”
Favorite exercise: BURPEES! I love that it is a good cardio burst, as well as a whole-body workout.
Favorite inspirational quote or Bible verse: “You have a choice. You can throw in the towel, or you can use it to wipe the sweat off your face.”

You are taught how to perform the exercises correctly, how to strengthen that foundation, and how to work towards your goals all while preventing injury.”
