Fit Pickleballer

19 yrs Elite Physique, now combining my pickleball passion. Teaching pickleball lessons in Santa Rosa Beach. Fit Pickleballer-Where Fitness Meets Fun!

I am beyond excited to kickstart this new journey with you all as the founder of Fit Pickleballer! 🎉 Let me tell you a bit about myself and how this all began.

🏊‍♀️Former FSU Swimmer: Swimming has been a significant part of my life, and it instilled in me a deep appreciation for fitness.

💪 Over 17 Years owning my Personal Training biz: As a seasoned personal trainer, I've had the privilege of he

lping numerous individuals achieve their fitness goals and lead healthier lives.

🏓 Pickleball Addict for 4 Years: Four years ago, I discovered the magic of pickleball, and there was no turning back! The thrill of the game, the camaraderie on the court, it's all simply addictive!

🔍 Bridging the Gap: In my pickleball journey, I noticed a crucial aspect missing – specific training to strengthen the muscles used in pickleball, along with mobility and lateral movement exercises to prevent injuries and build stamina.

🏋️‍♀️ Fit Pickleballer's Injury Prevention Program: This is where Fit Pickleballer comes in! I'm combining my passion for pickleball and my expertise in fitness to create an exclusive Injury Prevention program tailored for all you pickleball enthusiasts out there.

🌊 Personal and Fun Tidbits: When I'm not on the court or working on fitness programs, you can find me cherishing life's simple pleasures. I'm blessed to be married to my best friend for 25 years, and together, we share our home with three adorable cats. I spend time weekly volunteering at my favorite animal refuge, Alaqua. Living near the beach allows me to soak in the calming presence of the Gulf, especially during breathtaking sunsets, which are some of my favorite moments. And yes, I'm also a 🍷 wine lover, indulging in a glass now and then to celebrate life's victories!

🤗 I can't wait to embark on this journey with each one of you. Fit Pickleballer aims to be more than just a wellness business; it's a community where we celebrate our love for fitness, pickleball, and everything in between! 🎾 Let's strengthen those pickleball muscles, prevent injuries, and have a ton of fun together!

John and I made our way to Austin today for a very special reason — to celebrate the life of my amazing brother, Glenn, who passed away last month.

We decided to come a day early and were able to take part in an incredible Racquet Pro pickleball certification course (created by 🏓). Thank you, Jeff Rausch, for an awesome day!

I’m always striving to learn, grow, and become a more impactful coach — and I’m extra excited that John got certified too!

It’s been a meaningful start to what I know will be an emotional but beautiful weekend — honoring Glenn’s life, sharing stories, and being surrounded by family. ❤️

My heart is full after such a fun private pickleball lesson with 5 amazing ladies! 💚

We worked on drop shots, resets, and strategy, but mostly we laughed, learned, and had a blast.

So grateful I get to do what I love — helping others grow their game and have fun on the court! 🙌

THANK YOU, ladies for allowing me to be part of your Pickleball journey! Y’all killed it🙌🏻🙌🏻

WOW!! Last night’s Fit Pickleballer Glow in the Dark event was absolutely incredible!! 🎉

For my first time hosting this kind of event, it turned out even better than I imagined!

Pickleball is always fun… but throw in black lights, glow tape, and a Photo Booth, and you’ve got two hours of EPIC fun!! 🤩💥

I couldn’t have pulled this off without some amazing help:
💕Huge thanks to my incredible husband, John, who always supports my wild ideas (it took him an hour and a half just to lay down the neon glow tape for the court lines!)

💫 Special shoutout to Laura—my unexpected angel who showed up to help set up!

📸 Big thanks to Amanda for the awesome Photo Booth that captured all the fun memories!

🎀 Thank you to Christie for donating decorations even though she couldn’t be there, and to Toni for jumping in to help set up too!

And most importantly — THANK YOU to everyone who came out, dressed up, and trusted me that it would be a blast. Seeing you all laughing, glowing, and playing under the lights filled my heart! 💚

We’re doing it again tonight, and there’s still time to join the fun — message me if you want in!

⭐ Another 5-Star Review! ⭐

I absolutely love watching new players fall in love with pickleball — and this review made my day! 💚

“I just completed the beginner six-week program and it was loads of fun. Learning the basics of pickleball and meeting new friends was a very enjoyable experience. I can’t wait to attend the advanced beginner class to further my skill level. I would highly recommend any of Colleen‘s classes as she is very knowledgeable of the game and very patient and helpful while you are learning.”-Sue A.

Seeing players gain confidence, improve their skills, and create new friendships on the court is exactly why I do what I do!

👉 My next Beginner 6-Week Programs are open for registration:
• Tuesdays, 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM, starting Oct 21
• Wednesdays, 4:30 – 5:45 PM, starting Nov 5

👉 There’s ONE spot left in my Advanced Beginner Program starting Monday, Oct 20 at 6 PM — grab it before it’s gone!

P.S. Don’t forget about this weekend’s Glow in the Dark Pickleball fun — Friday and Saturday night! It’s going to be a blast! 🌟

🎉 Another 5-Star Review 🎉

Big thanks to Allyson, who’s officially gone from curious beginner to full-on pickleball fanatic! She’s so much fun to coach, and now she admits she’s totally addicted to the game. (Mission accomplished 😎)

Here’s what she had to say:
“Great teacher, great classes, open play time, etc. Colleen has a great coaching style, she is always prepared. Her beginner classes are not competitive, we learned the game and are all now playing. There is no stress as a beginner to get everything right, it’s fun and has made me a fanatic for the game. Highly recommend Fit Pickleballer if you want to learn the game as a newbie or enhance your game/skills as an advanced player.”

🙌 Watching new players go from “what’s a d**k shot?” to confidently playing matches is the BEST part of what I do!

👉 I’m taking reservations for my next Beginner 6-Week Program
👉 And… there’s just ONE spot left in my Advanced Beginner Program starting Sept 24th (you can come make new friends and meet Allyson…she’ll be in this class)!

If pickleball has been calling your name, this is your sign to join in on the fun!

What an incredible day! I had the privilege of kicking off a new “Play Your Way Fit” 6-Week Pickleball Challenge with an amazing group of beginners.

These ladies took their first steps on the court, had a blast, and even met some new friends along the way. 💕 Seeing their excitement and progress reminds me why I love introducing others to this incredible sport!

But here’s something I firmly believe: I can’t pour into others if my own cup is empty. Even as a coach, I need coaching too.

That’s why I make it a priority to work on my own game! Tonight, I got to challenge myself at a clinic with an incredible coach who pushes me to be better. And the best part? My husband joined me—talk about a perfect date night! 💕 Plus, my doubles partner, Karen, was there too!

So here’s my question to you: Do you have a coach in your life? Whether it’s for business, health, or sports, having a mentor to guide and challenge you is a game-changer. Growth happens when we step outside our comfort zone!

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, thinking about trying pickleball but feeling hesitant—this is your sign! I have a few spots open for another 6-week beginner program, and I’d love to help you get started. Drop me a message if you want in!

Let’s step onto the court and grow together! 💪💙

Sad faces because we were missing one of our Fit Pickleballer crew last night!

We get stronger, faster, and better together—both on and off the court. One of the best parts of coaching pickleballers is the amazing community that forms. Fun, fitness, and friendship—what more could you ask for?

Want to join the next group? DM me to find out when the next session starts!
