About MK

Hi, and welcome to HIIT Performance Training! I’m MK, a Green Mountain native who made my way back to Vermont in 2019.

Growing up, I participated in just about every sport and activity I could—from swimming to lacrosse—but eventually found my passion in Nordic skiing and running. I competed at Northern Michigan University from 2012–2014 before transferring to the University of Vermont, where I studied Nutrition and Food Science while continuing to ski and run competitively. I ended my Nordic skiing career in 2016 as a 3x NCAA All-American, accomplishing a goal I had dreamed about since first stepping into the sport at age 15.

After graduating in 2017, I decided to build a career around the things I loved most: fitness, health, and nutrition. In 2018, I became a NASM Certified Personal Trainer while living in Denver, Colorado, where I coached at F45.

Fast forward to life back in Vermont. I began working full-time at Noom as a health coach and manager. Eventually, I followed my intuition, stepped away from Noom, and became certified through ACE (American Council on Exercise) to continue expanding my education and pursuing fitness full-time.

That journey ultimately led to HIIT Performance Training. My husband and I completely renovated our garage into a gym—and we think it’s pretty amazing! More importantly, we wanted to create a place where people feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are. Whether you’re hesitant to try group fitness, brand new to working out, or concerned about cost, please reach out. HIIT was designed for everyBODY, every budget, and every fitness level.

When I’m not in the gym, you’ll probably find me gardening, cooking, teaching Group X at the Body Lab, enjoying a glass of wine or experimenting with a new cocktail, or simply relaxing with my husband, Kevin (he’s no slouch—he’s a 3x Olympian!), and our fur children: Khyber and Rudy, our dogs, and Moose, our cat.
