The Tribe Team
Calli - Our Owner
Growing up as a competitive figure skater, an interest in health and fitness came naturally to Calli but it wasn’t until she went to a Zumba class with her Mom that she ever considered instructing anything. She has always worked out lifting weights and doing interval training but rhythmic based workouts were what kept her interested and motivated. Calli was Zumba certified in 2010, Mad Dogg Spin certified on her 23rd birthday in 2015, and Bootybarre certified in 2017. She is also certified in Stages Indoor Cycling.
Calli’s love of health, wellness, and human connection also lead to her first career. Calli is a licensed, practicing Physical Therapy Assistant and enjoys the ability to bring this background and knowledge to clients at the studio utilizing it to develop her classes. She is also a fireman’s wife, a dog mom, and enjoys traveling and exploring new wineries and breweries with her husband… gotta have a little reward for all those hard workouts ;)
It was always a dream of Calli’s to do something more, something bigger - Something that she could serve others and reach them on many levels: mind, body, and soul. A place where people could connect with each other as they worked towards a common goal, forming a community of people that fostered relationships in and out of the studio walls. She knew she wanted to bring a non-cliquey boutique fitness studio offering a well rounded fitness routine to the Hershey area. It was this drive and passion that created the dream and then the reality of Studio 619… now Tribe Fitness!
Nuri
What I love most about being part of the Tribe Team is just that, being part of a TEAM. We all come here to work hard and cheer each other on. The Instructors really care about providing a challenging but achievable work out, and they are exceptionally motivating.
I am a BeatBoss Basic certified cycle instructor. My classes are inspired by riding to the beat of the music and three biking styles, road, mountain and BMX for a cross training purpose. I want everyone to have fun, reach new heights, improve with each class and feel empowered.
I started exercising for the first time in my life when Studio 619, now Tribe Fitness, opened in 2018. I was sure Barre, Yoga and Cycle wasn't for me, however, after my first class Calli encouraged me to keep going and to not give up. I am so grateful for her advice and the guidance of all of the instructors and clients that have impacted my new healthy life. I want others to take advantage of all of the classes offered at Tribe Fitness. Life gets hard at times, working out helps because when your body and mind are strong, you will tackle life as a warrior!
Join us! You are welcomed to be surrounded by wonderful people in a positive environment.
Kenzie
McKenzie is a Harrisburg native who recently moved back to the area after spending 8 years in Pittsburgh. She attended the University of Pittsburgh for both her Bachelors and Masters degrees and currently works as a medical speech-language pathologist.
McKenzie grew up dancing and continued to perform throughout college. Ballet and tap were her favorite classes, and she still takes tap dancing classes. McKenzie took her first barre class in college and was immediately hooked. The mix of ballet, pilates, and dance was the perfect way to continue her love for ballet as an adult. She enjoys how deceivingly intense barre class is and how strong and powerful you feel after the workout.
In her free time, McKenzie enjoys taking other Tribe classes, spending time with family and friends, and gardening. She is trained in the Booty Barre method and certified in mat pilates. McKenzie is excited to be a part of the Tribe and share her love of barre with you!
Katelyn
Katelyn is a certified spin, barre and barre bounce instructor whose background in competitive figure skating has helped mold her teaching style at Tribe. You’ll never miss a beat in her classes, whether you’re spinning to Post Malone or bouncing it out to Beyonce. Staying active and being healthy are passions of Katelyn’s. After retiring from the intense lifestyle of a college athlete, it was hard to find a workout that yielded results without spending hours in the gym each day. Barre and Cycle were the solution to that problem, which is why Katelyn wants to share her experience with others. Her goal is to unleash the potential of her students and show them that the time spent at the studio is an investment in themselves and should never feel like a chore!
Katelyn is a Hershey local who resides in Hummelstown, PA with her boyfriend, Steve and dog Taz. She graduated from Miami University of Ohio in 2014 where she spent 4 years as a Varsity figure skater representing not only the University but also Team USA on the international stage. After graduation, her sales career with The Hershey Company took her to Denver and then Seattle. She now works out of headquarters in category analytics.
Outside of the studio Katelyn enjoys volunteering, judging skating competitions, hiking, drinking wine with friends and spending time with her family.
Ali
By day Ali works for a pharmaceutical and healthcare communications company and by night she is a boss on the bike! Ali has two very important boys in her life - her fiance Kyle and her adorable pup Porter. Fun fact, she's a New Years baby!
Kara
Kara took her first yoga class at a YMCA during a time when most people (herself included) knew very little if anything at all about yoga. 20 years later, she is pleased to see yoga has become so popular with many people now experiencing it’s benefits. After completing a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training through Free Spirit Yoga, sharing yoga with others has felt like a natural progression in her life.
The word “yoga” is generally translated to mean something like “union” or “connection”. Kara believes the ways these words can be interpreted within the context of a yoga practice is unlimited and ultimately personal.
Yoga in a class with Kara offers opportunities to explore connections between the body, mind, and breath in order to encourage those practicing to make the choices necessary to find the yoga postures or movements right in that moment and feel confident enough to do this even if it means doing something someone else is not doing. Mindful movement, breathing, and intentional choices are part of each class she offers. These elements are the focus of her own personal yoga practice. Kara believes that connections to and within the self bring the ability to see and feel more clearly the connections among all that surrounds us.
