Hi, I’m Linda Sutton, NASM certified personal trainer since 2018. I am so happy to be a part of the RAF team! I hold NASM specialist certifications as a Fitness Nutrition Specialist, Behavior Change Specialist, and in Group Personal Training.

Hello! My name is Melissa, I moved to Elizabeth city last summer from Wisconsin. I have 2 children and have been a stay at home mom for the last 9 years. I walked into Rick Anderson fitness about a month ago and met a few of my (now) coworkers. Everyone was so helpful and outgoing I knew I had to try and join the team too! I’m so glad to be working here and look forward to the future at Rick Anderson fitness!

Hi! My name is Stephanie. The one thing that has never changed is my belief in its transformative power and its ability to challenge and change anyone. Unlike so many other facets of life, adaptations such as strength, power, and muscle growth, do not care who you are, where you come from or what you look like.

There’s no denying that achieving fitness related goals is a delicate balance of energy in, energy out, of pushing hard enough to signal growth, while managing fatigue, of going all out and knowing when to scale it back.

I’m Natasha!

I’m a military spouse, mom of two, and have lived in Elizabeth City for the past nine years. I had the pleasure of teaching a variety of Group Exercise Classes at the Y for four years.

What I love about group fitness is the community aspect. I love that no matter your skill level we are all there for the same reason- to be better, healthier versions of ourselves! Plus, it’s just FUN!

I’m excited to be a part of the team and the community here at Rick Anderson Fitness! 

Hi, my name is Calvin Bright III, and I'm a proud Perquimans County native now living in Pasquotank County with my wife, Rachel. I own Eastern Landscapes LLC, and I've spent 30 years in the landscaping industry. Fifteen years ago, I started my fitness journey at the YMCA in Elizabeth City, NC, shedding nearly 100 pounds. Fitness transformed my life, and I've trained in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA, CrossFit, Kettlebell Training, Group Fitness, Functional Fitness, and Yoga. I've had the privilege of training with elite individuals, including USCG Rescue Swimmers and Military Special Forces members. I believe that while only about 5% of our time is spent in the gym, the other 95% is crucial for living healthily. As a NASM-Certified Personal Trainer, I aim to help others overcome obstacles and achieve their fitness goals. I'm also excited to become a certified Stretching and Flexibility Coach in August 2024. Thanks to Rick Anderson Fitness for helping me grow in this journey.

Hi, my name is Deborah Sollazzo, I have been living in the Camden / Elizabeth City area for 15 years. I have two beautiful daughters who are now in their twenties. I have been blessed with a beautiful granddaughter Emma; she is the light of my life! When I saw the posting for the front desk position at Rick Anderson Fitness, I said “that’s for me!" I am always there working out or taking classes, so why not make money enjoying what I love to do. In my free time, I love spending time with my granddaughter, working out, walking, traveling and beach time.

See you at Rick Anderson Fitness!

Hi, my name is Tyra. I received my Health and Fitness Science certificate from College of the Albemarle in 2022 and received my Certified Personal Trainer certificate through IFTA in 2024. I am continuing my education at Elizabeth City State University where my major is Kinesiology. I believe in making fitness fun! Passion and dedication are required to stick to any fitness regimen in order to see results. There won’t be any long-term dedication to anything you don’t enjoy. I believe in balance and consistency. I love to challenge myself through workouts, preferably CrossFit. I'm also a former athlete, I played volleyball and basketball in high school and have competed in powerlifting. Over time, my passion for fitness and weight training grew. As I continue my education, I begin to want to reach out and help others who are looking to grow themselves as well.

Hi, I’m Kim! I live here in Elizabeth City with my husband Rick (USAF, Ret.). We moved here almost three years ago from the Atlanta area to be close to family. Not only are we Blessed to

have our son, daughter-in-love (also her amazing family!) and our grandson mere steps away from us, we also have family in the Annapolis, MD area. I love spending time with family, cooking, reading, genealogy research, gardening and of course, staying fit!

Having been a military family moving around for 23 years, I know all too well the challenge of keeping up with your own physical fitness and oftentimes, that ends up on the bottom of the list.

After getting settled here and accomplishing a few projects, we decided to make our health and wellness a priority again. Discovering Rick Anderson Fitness was like coming home!

This gym offers everything we need and then some! What I love most: the staff! Everyone here is so friendly, welcoming, caring and they are genuinely interested in helping you achieve your

goals to become the very best version of yourself! I love this so much that I am joining the team as a Pilates Instructor! I am excited about this new adventure and forward to working with you!

Mom to three amazing kids-Cameron

(24), Westin (13), and Lily (3)—and wife to my wonderful husband, Jason, for 15 years.

Passionate about fitness, I'm a certified group exercise instructor and love helping others get fit and healthy. When I'm not teaching, you'll find me running (10ks are my favorite!), kayaking, gardening, or singing on the worship team at my church.

Proud graduate of COA's Health and Fitness Science program.

Hi, my name is Tracey Insley and I am a certified yoga instructor. My personal yoga practice began in 2023. I was amazed at how well I felt physically and mentally after every yoga session. My need to learn and grow evolved and I decided to become a certified Yoga Instructor in 2024 and completed my training in Nov. 2024. I have thoroughly enjoyed developing Vinyasa yoga flows to meet my student’s and my personal mental and physical needs. My passion for yoga has progressed. I enjoy learning, teaching, and helping students. My goal is to teach my students how to become stronger, more flexible and improve their balance as well as grow their knowledge of yoga.

Hello, I am Randi. I am a NASM-certified personal trainer and nutrition coach. I have been training for around 5 years, and I absolutely love it!

I have always been active, in sports and working out. It wasn’t until my sister and I were diagnosed with autoimmune diseases that I decided to get healthy from the inside out. With many prayers and a complete 180° change in our diets, we've reversed our autoimmune diseases. 

After years of working in administrative positions in different types of gyms, I was able to see firsthand how exercise and proper nutrition transforms lives! Those experiences, along with my own healing, inspired me to make this my career.

I believe God gave us one another to help, encourage and uplift, especially through challenges. My sister was that for me and I want to be that for others. I am so incredibly blessed do what I love every day!

Hi, I'm Rachel Grimstead. My husband and I have called Elizabeth City home since 2011.

We are empty nesters with 4 amazing, grown children.  We love staying active together through weight training, Pilates, hiking and water sports.

I am excited to join the family at Rick Anderson's. 

My name is Sean Wiedenfeld. I'm sixteen years old, a junior in high school, and I'm taking college classes at COA for exercise science and health and Fitness.

I have also taken courses at ECSU through my high school programs. I like to play sports; I play high school soccer with NEAAAT.

My goal is to become a professional athlete. I think that I can provide a lot to Rick Anderson fitness, and I think that I will learn a lot while interning here.

I'm excited to learn from the staff and start this new opportunity!
