Our Amazing Instructors

To inspire, motivate and create a better you!

Julie Westenfelder

Julie Westenfelder

I have lived in the Anthony Wayne district all my life. I graduated from Anthony Wayne High School and then got my bachelors degree from Bowling Green State University. I have two boys named Isaac and Ethan. Isaac is a senior at BGSU and Ethan is a junior Ohio State. I am a certified W.I.T.S. personal trainer, certified group exercise instructor, certified TRX® instructor, and a certified Spinning® instructor. I have been teaching group exercise classes since 2005 and have been a personal trainer since 2010. As an added challenge I enjoy running and have completed 4 half marathons! I decided to become a personal trainer after I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. That diagnosis changed my life direction and it became crystal clear that I wanted to help people anyway that I could just like the surgeons/nurses helped me through my surgery/recovery! I love the one on one relationship that you build with each client and the results are amazing! This is my full time job and I love changing people’s lives! "To inspire, motivate and create a better you" perfectly describes my goals for my personal training clients. My wide range of experience includes working with preschoolers on gross motor skills, school athletes and sports conditioning, weight loss for all ages, and even the older generation on improving balance and functional movements. If you have the desire and determination to work toward your goals I can help you achieve them!

Sheila Watson

Sheila Watson

Hello! I live in Whitehouse, Ohio with my husband Eric and two kids, Cooper and Kora. We love the Anthony Wayne community. I have been a yoga instructor for 15+ years. I was certified through YogaFit on a variety of yoga styles and practices as well as PIYO and BeamFit. Bee Free Yoga was brought to life in 2013. I moved into Julie’s Fitness Studio in 2014. I knew in my heart that I wanted to share my love of yoga and the multitude of benefits that it has to offer physically, mentally and emotionally. It has been a game changer for me and my life. I want others to experience the ways in which yoga can help navigate through different situations and experiences. Life is a journey, be connected, be present and be aware of yourself and your surroundings. It’s an amazing thing, called life. HUGS.

David Anders

David Anders

Being inspired by Martial Arts from grade school through high school, I have had the opportunity to do many things in my career before deciding to open Karate Works. In 2016 my wife Katie and I had two kids, Lauren and Ryan. We decided to set roots down in the Anthony Wayne community. I started teaching children at local daycares and privately. I was the Martial Arts instructor at the Anthony Wayne YMCA for over 2 years and have been a part of Julie’s Fitness Studio since 2019. Being a victim of bullying at a young age, martial arts gave me the confidence I needed to accomplish the dreams I had. Before leaving for a career in the military, I obtained the rank of 2nd Dan Black Beltand head children’s instructor at one of Ohio’s largest karate schools. Now, it is my goal to build one of the best karate programs in the area. Martial arts changed and inspired my life, gave me the confidence and courage to live my best life. So, if you’re ready to humble yourself, challenge yourself, and journey to an opportunity like no other. Then you should let me show you how…Karate Works!

Mary Grosse

Mary has a passion for fitness and strives to disguise her exercise classes as a fun adventure. She enjoys teaching cardio drumming, dance, and group weight training. Besides her love for teaching, Mary's first love is her family. Her favorite role is being a wife and mom. She is also fond of her "real" job as a graphic designer. Her specialty is product design/illustration in the toy and hobby industry. I guess you can say she never wants to grow up.

Kayley Smigielski

Kayley Smigielski

Hello! I am a Whitehouse area native, graduating from Anthony Wayne High School in 2008. After attending both Owens Community College and the University of Toledo studying Early Childhood Education, I was blessed to be offered a teaching position at Toledo Christian Schools as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher. My fitness journey at Julie’s Fitness studio started several years ago by attending Fully Fit, Cardio Drumming, Spin and Kickboxing. At the start of 2023 I took on the role of spin instructor for the early morning spin classes and have loved every minute of it. On top of being a spin instructor, in my everyday life I also focus on healthy eating and am very passionate about health and fitness. With my family, my husband and 2 kids, we love to stay active by exploring outdoors hunting, fishing, hiking, etc. I have an Advanced Indoor Cycling instructor certification through FiTour, and am also certified in American Heart Association BLS CPR/AED. Hopefully you will join us for the early morning spin classes at Julie's Fitness Studio!

Cheryl Thompson

Cheryl Thompson

I grew up in Whitehouse, graduated from Anthony Wayne high school, and later earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Bowling Green State University. Staying active has always been one of my favorite ways to relieve stress. I was introduced to turbo kick in 2011, immediately fell in love with the workout, and became certified to teach it the next year! Since then, I have also taught insanity, country heat, TRX, dance fitness, and aqua fitness. I also have a passion for running and have completed about 25 half marathons, two full marathons, several marathon relays, two Ragnar relays, and countless 10k and 5k races. I took a break from teaching and running in 2019 when I had my daughter, Avery. In 2021, I decided it was time to get back at it, and returned to teaching turbo kick. I’m so happy to be here at JFS doing what I love and helping others on their fitness journeys!

Alison, 20, is a Business Major at the University of Cincinnati who is going to graduate next year, a whole year early!

Jim is a marathon runner, and is trying to run the 6 Major World Marathons, and after our trip to Germany and London this year, he will have accomplished 5 of the 6! We love to travel and spend time together exploring the Lake Erie area where we recently purchased a condo on the Lake.
