Meet Your Fitness Guides


GHF Main

Karen Coley-Cannon Meet Karen

Hometown: Gainesville, FL (I'm a Gator Girl).

What do you do? Help others find what inspires them to reach their full potential.

What gets you out of bed each morning? My family and my GHF Community (our wonderful members and staff) and knowing that every day I will learn something new that will help a member/guest or myself become the best we can be.

What is your favorite part about your role? I have been with GHF for 40 years and love
that I still get to be with members I have known for as long as I have worked at the Club.  It feels like we are all part of one family and here for each other.

The best piece of advice I've ever been given is: A smile and a good attitude (faith, hope and love) will get you through most everything.

Debra Johnson-Meisel Meet Debra

Hometown: West Pointe, Virginia

What do you do? I help people reach their full potential by becoming everyday exercisers.

What gets you out of bed each morning? Knowing I get to go to a job that changes not only my life, but the lives of other people that I get to be a part of.

What is your favorite part about your role? Not only am I a fitness counselor, I become part of their family and they become part of mine. "These are my kids" 

The best piece of advice I've ever been given is: My mom when I was growing up always told us: She doesn't know a stranger. And I live by that. I don't know a stranger, everyone is a friend from the start.

Jeremiah GadwayMeet Jeremiah

Hometown: Born in Carbondale, Illinois but mostly lived in Florida. I moved to Gainesville for the University and stayed because of GHF.

What do you do? I spend the majority of my time at the fitness center encouraging as many non-exercisers to start a healthier lifestyle. Outside of the gym I am a professional viola player and perform with the Gainesville Orchestra, and I am a part of the Gainesville String Quartet
(a group I started with 3 friends I met in the orchestra).
 


What gets you out of bed each morning? 
My alarm clock and coffee.

 

What is your favorite part about your role? To get the most out of my role requires me to listen to as many people as I can. In doing so the past 3 years, I have had the opportunity to gain insightful information about the lives of thousands of people and hear their stories. So my favorite part is that I’m able to meet so many different people and help them get started here at GHF.
 

The best piece of advice I've ever been given is: If you don’t control yourself, the world will control you.

What gets you out of bed each morning? 
Being of service to others.

What is your favorite part about your role? Making a difference in people’s lives.
 

The best piece of advice I've ever been given is: If it is important to you, you’ll find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.
