History

Established in 2013.

After teaching group fitness and boot camp classes for over six years, Samantha decided it was time to turn her love of fitness and passion for teaching into her own business. FirstLight Fitness was inspired by the early morning classes she has taught for the last six years and the rising sun she sees each day while spending her mornings training the clients she loves! Samantha is excited to grow the FirstLight Fitness family and offer programs that appeal to a variety of clients and interests.

Sam spends her mornings motivating and training her beloved clients and starting her day off active and outside.
