Meet the Team

  • Madelyn Hallowell

    Owner, ISSA-CPT, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Nutrition, Bodybuilding, Pilates

    Hey my name is Madelyn! I started Ignite Fitness in October of 2022 and I've been in love with it ever since! Creating a fun, healthy, encouraging, and inspiring atmosphere is what I'm all about and I hope you get to enjoy it with me!

    Fun facts about me: I'm actually from Canada, I've been to 30 states including Ha-waii and Alaska, I'm a published author, I'm double jointed in both thumbs and I've also been bungee jumping! Some favorite hobbies include any sport, mainly volleyball, board games, random road trips, and drawing. I love watching and playing hockey and my team is the Toronto Maple Leafs. I enjoy getting to know people and trying new things and can also usually find something funny in just about anything! 

    I got into weight training in high school and haven't looked back! My passion was helping others succeed in fitness and it is so exhilarating to accomplish that!

    Favorite Quote:

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

  • Tyson Robertson

    Certified Personal Trainer

    Tyson grew up in the Walla Walla Valley and competed in Basketball, Baseball, and Soccer at nearby McLoughlin High School. After graduating from Oregon State University in 2005 he spent the majority of his time working as a food scientist. At Tillamook, he developed a strong affinity for their cheese and ice cream! He is married to his wife Jillian, and they have 4 children, 3 dogs, and one rabbit.

    Testimony: After tearing my Achilles' tendon at age 28, gaining 40 pounds, and living in constant pain, every step, I knew I had to learn more about strength, conditioning, and mobility. So I did! Now I'd like to help others achieve their goals. And I can't think of a better place to do that than here at Ignite Fitness!
