Coach Marissa
Hello, I am Marissa. I have been working here at force for about 2.5 years. I am originally from Evansville, In. I attended IU for Undergrad and have lived in Bloomington ever since. I love to stay busy so I constantly have something going between two jobs and activities with friends and family. In my spare time I love a good binge on Netflix/Hulu, cooking, drinking wine, a good workout and my self care Sundays. I love force because force is family, it's where everyone comes to be better/do better and if nothing else, they come to try!

Coach Clay
I was an athlete all through high school participating in track and later in swimming. Since starting college I’ve focused more on powerlifting as well as general health and fitness. I'm majoring in exercise science with a minor in nutrition, in hopes of continuing my education to become a physical therapist while still working with strength and conditioning. My background in sports as well as my own fitness journey lead me to my passion of helping others achieve their health and fitness goals. I believe in creating small, sustainable changes in both exercise execution and your lifestyle to reach your full potential while avoiding injury, and enjoying the process.
