Kelly Hegarty
Fitness background: Fitness has always been a part of my life, starting as an athlete competing in dance, track, and later marathons and triathlons. My love of fitness continued through my first career as a high school science teacher and coach. After specializing in working with competitive high school dancers for 15+ years, I made the decision to work with a more broad population and came on board with Life Time. I have been with Life Time for 10 years in several roles including trainer, manager, nutrition coach, pilates instructor, and recently have joined the Life Time Academy Education Team.
Certifications: NASM CPT, Precision Nutrition Level 1, STOTT certification in progress (see note above)
Location: Highland Park, MN
Favorite thing about Life Time: I was a member and fan of Life Time long before I worked here! I love the top of the line facilities, the passion of the team members, the enthusiasm of our members, and the quality of what we offer. The holistic approach to wellness and leading a happy, healthy life truly aligns with my values and personal mission. I would not want to work for any other fitness company!
Favorite thing to instruct/coach: I will always have a place in my heart for working with high school athletes, especially dancers. In recent years, I have discovered a passion for working with people new to fitness or returning from an injury or set-back of any kind. I also love helping seniors become or stay strong, active, and healthy!
Any additional information you think would be helpful to note: My husband and three children are the center of my life, but I am also quite obsessed with my Cavapoo dog, Bauer, and love to take him with me anywhere I can.
Favorite place to get workout clothes: REI or Athleta
Favorite healthy way of life activity: Hiking! I love to be outside and to challenge myself physically with difficult hikes. My son lives in Utah, so I take every opportunity to hike in the mountains when we visit him.
