Madelyn Turner - Founder of Ignite Fitness & Pilates

Owner, Certified Fitness Coach, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Pilates Instructor, Life Coach, and Nutrition Coach

  • I started Ignite Fitness in October 2022 with one mission:
    To create a space where women feel strong, supported, and inspired to grow.

    Fitness changed my life—and now I get to help others change theirs. From weight training in high school to building a full-blown gym community, I’ve poured my heart into making Ignite a place where people love to show up.

    What I’m all about:
    ✨ Building confidence through movement
    ✨ Making fitness fun, approachable, and empowering
    ✨ Helping others discover their strength—inside and out

    A few fun facts:
    🇨🇦 I’m originally from Canada
    🧳 I’ve visited 30 U.S. states (yes, including Hawaii & Alaska!)
    📚 I’m a published author
    🏐 I’m obsessed with volleyball, board games, and hockey (Go Leafs!)
    🎢 And yes... I’ve even been bungee jumping

    My favorite quote:
    "One of the most important things in life is that you don't let the judgment of others control your actions. If you do, you'll never accomplish anything. Just keep your head down and grind."

    Come say hi—I’d love to meet you!
    Let’s ignite something powerful together 💪🔥

Valarie Oakes - Certified Trainer & Group Fitness Coach

Trainer & Host of WW Fit Connect

  • Meet Valarie

    Valarie is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer passionate about helping people feel comfortable, capable, and confident in the gym. Whether you’re stepping into a gym for the first time, returning after time away, or ready to push toward a new goal, she believes training should meet you where you are.

    Fitness wasn’t always a natural part of Valarie’s life. She actually grew up hating PE and never imagined she would become a personal trainer. After discovering strength training as an adult, fitness became an important part of her life and something she wanted to share with others.

    As a mom of three, Valarie understands that real life doesn’t always fit neatly around a workout plan. Her training focuses on realistic, sustainable progress, with a special passion for working with women, moms, beginners, and clients pursuing weight loss or strength goals.

    Her training style is supportive, approachable, and just challenging enough. She’ll celebrate your wins, help you build confidence, and absolutely hand you the heavier weight when she knows you’re capable of more.

    For Valarie, personal training isn’t about perfection. It’s about becoming stronger, more confident, and discovering what your body is capable of.

Sebrina Coleman - bringing joy back to your gym routine

NASM Certified Trainer & Nutrition Coach

  • I’m a certified personal trainer and fitness instructor specializing in weight lifting, proper form, and building strength with intention.

    My own fitness journey started as a way to manage my degenerative disc disease, reduce anxiety, and build the strength and confidence I needed to keep up with everyday life and activities. Along the way, I discovered that strength training could be about so much more than how much weight you can lift.

    My goal is to help others become stronger, move with confidence, and make fitness a sustainable part of their lives. 🫶
