KOR4 Elite Fitness

Two coaches. Two completely different journeys. One shared passion for changing lives.

This week on the KOR4 Podcast, Coach Van and Coach Shannon pull back the curtain on what coaching really means to them.

🏋️‍♂️ Van shares what it’s like to go from member... to coach... and how experiencing KOR4 firsthand completely changed his perspective.

🔥 Shannon talks about joining KOR4 as a coach without ever being a member, earning the trust of the community, and why she instantly believed in what makes this place different.

Along the way, we dive into:
⚡️ Why they genuinely love KOR4
⚡️ Their favorite parts of being a coach
⚡️ The moments that remind them why they do what they do
⚡️ The biggest lessons they’ve learned
⚡️ The Top 5 reasons every woman should be lifting heavy weights instead of being afraid of them.

Whether you’re a longtime member, brand new to strength training, or just curious about what makes KOR4 different... this episode is packed with real conversations, practical advice, and plenty of laughs.

Some people join a gym. Others become part of the story.

George & Ann have been with us since day one... back when KOR4 was operating out of the temporary space and nobody really knew what this thing would become. They’ve seen every evolution, every new idea, every challenge, and every win along the way. Through it all, one thing has never changed... KOR4 is still the best way to start their day.

For Ann, the journey started during the postpartum chapter of life. Her goal wasn’t just to “bounce back”... it was to become stronger than ever before. To build muscle, build confidence, and invest in herself.

George is all about variety. You’ll catch him bouncing between FORCE, FLEX, and his favorite... FIRE. If there’s an opportunity to sweat, he’s all in.

Ann keeps it consistent too, FORCE is home base, but every Wednesday she’s FLEXing with Chad, and Fridays she’s bringing the heat in FIRE with Shannon.

Ask them about their favorite KOR4 memories and they’ll probably laugh about the early days... when Riley and Keith were basically raw-dogging it with a boom box, no microphones, scribbling ridiculous workouts on the wall, and hoping everyone survived. 😂 Those were fun times.

The greatest compliment we can receive isn’t just someone showing up year after year, it’s when they trust us enough to bring the people they love. Ann did exactly that by introducing her dad to KOR4, making fitness a true family affair.

That’s what makes this place special.

Different ages. Different backgrounds. Different goals. One community that shows up, puts in the work, and makes each other better.

George & Ann, thank you for believing in this vision from the very beginning. Your consistency, positivity, and support have helped shape what KOR4 is today.

Here’s to many more mornings together. ❤️ Show them some love in the comments 👊

Take a minute, turn up the volume and get inspired!

You never know… our next member spotlight, could be you :)
