Teaching since 1983, Kelly Coffey-Meyer has designed and implemented group fitness programs in the largest clubs in Philadelphia and New Jersey.  She was the first person to bring AFAA to Philadelphia in 1988 and has earned her programs "Best of Philly" awards.

Always a competitive athlete, Kelly earned a field Hockey scholarship and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in communications at Rider University.  Her fitness training for sports and wellness was further utilized in a south Jersey bodybuilding competition in the early 1980's.

In 2006, Kelly threw herself in the filming & producing arena to "have something to show for her life's work" and to "raise awareness to Dimentia" which robbed her father of his health and eventually his life. In the four short years she has been in the DVD business, she has successfully released 12 workouts worldwide and has been recognized by the industries' best, including Fitness Magazine and USA Today. Kelly's decades of teaching, her love of helping other Moms feel good and her desire to use her abilities to their fullest has aided her in successfully building her own niche in a very competitve and already etablished arena.

Now in her 40's and the mother of two boys, Kelly remains rooted in the fitness industry where she continues to inspire others in their quest for health and fitness.

Kris has been featured in 9 Coffeyfit videos.

I was born and raised in New Jersey. I graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Advertising and Public Relations. I worked for a large advertising firm in NYC for three years as an Account Executive on the Toyota car account. I married my neighbor and college sweet heart and we have two boys, ages 14 and 9. We currently own and operate our own business near our hometown. I have always been involved in sports since an early age. Softball and soccer in High school and then onto the tennis team in college. I enjoy exercising, running, and recently golf and tennis which are my new loves, but I still have a ways to go yet. Of course, taking Kelly's classes have always been my favorite and it is a lot of fun while staying my young 40 (something) years.

Growing up in South Jersey as the oldest of four, I never really played any sports. I only liked gym class if we were doing gymnastics or basic fitness. I actually preferred dance, studying ballet for 10 years. During my teen years, I took a great interest in fitness and would do my own little workouts to stay in shape. When I became an adult, I joined my first gym. I found I preferred taking the fitness classes as opposed to working out on the gym floor. To me, the classes were much more fun and motivating.

In 1994, I graduated from Richard Stockton College of NJ with a B.A. in Finance. Soon after graduation, I started working as a Financial Analyst/Mortgage Trader at a New Jersey-based mortgage company. I worked there for 9 years and during that time met my husband. While I enjoyed what I did, I wanted to be able to be home more with my children. When I had my second child in 2005, I resigned from the mortgage business to be able to be home full time with my daughter and new son.

Now that I was no longer working long hours, I was able to go to the gym more. I was taking exercise classes taught by both Kelly and Lauren. About a year ago, Kelly asked me if I would be interested in teaching classes. I thought, “Why not give it a try?” Now that my son was a little older, I was able to teach while he is in school. I have been teaching for about a year now and am really having fun with it!

I was born and raised in New Jersey. My husband Michael and I have two children, Nolan, 9 and Brynn, 5. Traveling, scuba diving, and fitness training are among my major interests.

Throughout my adult life I found myself starting and stopping fitness programs many times. Unfortunately, nothing kept my interest for an extended period of time.

My fitness interest changed when, in 2007, I was diagnosed with a medical condition called osteopenia, a precursor to osteoporosis. I was advised to start taking bone building medications, but was concerned with the potential side effects. I asked for an alternative choice of treatment and began taking mega doses of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. More importantly, I was advised to begin a weight bearing exercise program. That is when I discovered Kelly's fitness program. I was inspired, not only by her energetic leadership, but also by the positive results I was seeing in my body. I worked out with Kelly at least three times a week for a year, and in 2008, I went for a Dexa scan to measure my bone density. To my amazement, I had completely reversed the effects of osteopenia!

I remain fit and healthy, and continue to enjoy ever changing and challenging classes.

Being a native Californian, I moved to South Jersey in 2001. I am married with two daughters ages 5 and 19, and work as a dental assistant. I have been a member of Active Fitness for 6 years. Fitness has always been a part of my life since my teenage years. Never would I have guessed, however, that I would have the honor of participating in Kelly's videos for the last 3 years.

I did have a minor setback when I was pregnant with my second daughter. I had a pacemaker placed in my first trimester at age 37. I was born with a congenital heart block and always knew I would need it one day, I just didn't expect it would be at such a young age. Taking class with Kelly has kept me energized and strong and now at age 42, I have never felt better or been in such good shape. She has become such a dear friend and inspiration to me along with the other fabulous women in her videos. I thank you for keeping me so motivated Kelly!
