Meet Our Personal Trainers
Beau Bayliss
Major: Kinesiology
Specialty:
I’m a competitive powerlifter with about two years of experience, having competed in events through PLU, WRPF, and WWU. My focus is on building maximum strength for both competition and everyday life. While my main area of expertise is strength and power training, I also enjoy and have experience with hypertrophy-focused workouts.
Fitness Philosophy:
I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to training. Through my own lifting journey, I’ve learned that every body is unique and responds differently to various training methods. Because of that, I prioritize individualized training that supports each person’s specific needs and goals.
Favorite Exercise:
I enjoy most compound lifts, but the deadlift is my favorite—it’s fun, it challenges me, and it’s where I feel strongest.
Sennen Coleman
Major: Politics Philosophy Economics (PPE)
Specialty: I have been competing in powerlifting for 3 years and have done 7 competitions. I recently placed 2nd at Scottish Junior Nationals, and am looking at competing on the international stage. I specialize in strength development/hypertrophy/conditioning work and prioritize not just the physical side of training but the mental approach and aspects that come with the dedication. This goes far beyond just the weights but how you carry yourself and see yourself and I aim to help those that I work with realize they are stronger than they realize both mentally and physically.
Favorite Exercise: I love squats, I think there are so many benefits to barbell squatting. The feeling of pushing through a difficult weight is unlike no other for me.
Ayla Danner-Bunn
Major: BS Kinesiology, Pre-healthcare
Specialty: I have a strong background in athletic performance as a track and field athlete for almost a decade, and I currently compete in long and triple jump on Western’s track and field team. I also have experience working with the general population in physical therapy settings. My education in kinesiology, paired with my experience working with diverse clientele, allows me to have the varied skill set needed for different fitness goals. I would love to be a part of your journey and show you that exercise doesn’t have to be a chore or burden, but something fun to elevate your lifestyle!
Philosophy: To me, movement is medicine. I believe that moving your body and building strength and power are extremely important to daily function and longevity. I am passionate about getting people to take advantage of their abilities and do the work to better their own lives. Exercise benefits everyone, and I want to be the helping hand that gets you started on the process.
Favorite exercise: I think outdoor activity is an amazing way to exercise outside the gym, with some of my favorites being hiking and rock climbing. My favorite exercises in the gym are pull-ups, back squat, or any explosive power movement.
Ameen Hussaini
Major: Kinesiology
Specialty: I have been training for over 6 years, focusing specifically on bodybuilding and aesthetic/classic physique building. As a former cross country and track & field athlete, I have also learned the importance on emphasizing the incorporation of cardiovascular training alongside bodybuilding. Although my personal interest is in physique development, I love working with clients for any fitness goal at all levels and aim to cater every workout to each person's goals and needs.
Philosophy: I believe that the best possible workout that a person could do is the one they end up enjoying and consistently doing. If a person does not enjoy the work they do and finds that it does not align with their goals, it becomes unsustainable. My goal as a trainer is to make fitness a fun and enjoyable process and help every client reach their goal. I believe a gym should be a safe space where everyone comes to improve themselves, and I aim to make it feel that way.
Favorite Exercise: Barbell rows. They're an absolute staple of my back training.
Ari Nguyen
Major: Kinesiology (Pre-Healthcare)
Specialty: I am on the track & field team at WWU, so I do love exercise application on a sport specific basis, but I also strongly believe in strength and conditioning benefits for everyone, not just athletes. I want to help people build a fun and healthy relationship with training in any capacity, whether it be building strength, improving cardiovascular fitness, feeling more confident in your body, or supporting long-term health.
Fitness Philosophy: One of my biggest beliefs is that you don’t have to be perfect, you just have to keep showing up for yourself! I think it’s such a blessing to be a beginner at something and to try new things and push yourself both physically and mentally.
Favorite exercise: My favorite exercise is the trap bar deadlift. I love being able to load up this lift heavy and it’s been an exercise I've had in my program for a few years so it’s fun to consistently work at it and see my numbers go up!
Samuel Roberts
Major: Kinesiology - Exercise Science
Specialty: I have been lifting for almost half a decade now and competed in my first Bodybuilding competition in the spring of 2025. I come from a background of both weightlifting and competitive swimming, allowing me to help you reach your fitness goals, whatever that may be. From building strength back after an injury, increasing your size or strength, or just trying to maintain your quality of life, I am happy to tailor any fitness program to fit your needs. I love getting to work with people of all ages and enjoy the healthy relationships I get to build with the gym and its community. No matter where you’re starting from, I am committed to helping you build strength and progress you can be proud of.
Fitness Philosophy: I believe in the value of hard work and perseverance, applying this to my weight training and life outside the gym alike. I believe that it is important to make steps towards your goals every day, working through the hardships to become the person you truly want to be.
Favorite Exercise: My favorite exercise is the dumbbell biceps curl, getting to feel the muscle activate and focusing on the time under tension. Plus who doesn’t want big biceps!
