Hi my name is Patrick McCauley. I joined the Gorilla house family many years ago as a front desk employee. Throughout my time here, I have achieved my doctorate of physical therapy and am now a practicing PT in the acute field. Additionally, I became a certified personal trainer to help people learn correct movement patterns and to avoid injuries while exercising.

I have trained a variety of individuals with many levels of experience. I have trained people with no prior experience looking to learn a new skill in life to people with multiple years experience looking to correct and fine tune movements in their exercises.

I’m a big nerd when it comes to exercise. I studied it for 6 years in college because I’m driven by the why behind our exercise choices and movements. I want you to know why we select the exercises we do so that you grow towards your health goals while having an understanding of the steps we take to get there. So whether you’re new to the gym family or been here for years, reach out and see what we can do together!

Hi I’m Angela! I co-own Gorilla House Gym with my husband Ray.

I am the Head Coach for all programs at Gorilla House Gym. I have been leading group exercise classes and personal training since 2003. I have numerous certifications to include Hyrox, CrossFit Level I, Weightlifting Level I, Powerlifting Club Coach Level, and AFAA Master Nutrition. I have a Masters in Global History with a concentration on Ancient Middle East and a Bachelor’s of Science in Health and Sports with a concentration in Kinesiology.

I was an active duty Marine for 8 years and then served 11 years as a Civilian Marine working at the Pentagon as an Antiterrorism Officer. I was in charge of Information and Threat Sharing, which is popularly known as “See Something, Say Something” and Risk Mitigation and Crisis Management.

I have a broad skill set and work with all clients from young athletes to person’s with injuries, degeneration, pregnant women and those who are disabled. You can check out my classes and find me critiquing and hollering in the Barbell Club, or HIIT class.

Grab a class schedule or set-up a consultation for Personal Training or a Nutrition Consult with me! I look forward to helping you establish appropriate fitness and wellness goals, and meeting them with a balanced and sustainable approach.

Hello my name is Alex Frederick, also known as “Fred”. I joined Gorilla House 3.5 years ago as a member and was also the custodian, leading up to the front desk manager. I’m certified through HYROX 365 and also ACTION Personal Training.

Throughout my athletic career, I competed in many sports including: football, basketball, baseball, and track. Football was my main priority over the other sports that I was in. I fell in love with how attention to detail the sport was along with the discipline it had taught me. Those qualities led me to playing the sport I loved at the collegiate level and transitioned to everything I do in my daily lifestyle!

What inspired me to be a personal trainer was a back injury that happened in high school football during their weight training program — which ignited my passion to want to teach others the proper movements to weight lifting and excelling athletic performance.

To me, fitness is my life. It’s an amazing reward seeing someone crush goals that they never thought they could do. It’s okay if you are new to a gym setting and don’t know where to begin. Let me help and we can crush your goals together!

My name is Jeremy Claypoole. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in exercise science as well as my CrossFit level 1 certification. I am also a certified spin instructor and Silver and Fit certified. As a former collegiate athlete my main focus is strength and conditioning and sports performance training.

With 8 years of experience I have dealt with all kinds of clients. Young, old, injured, healthy, underweight, overweight, and even amputees.

I have had my Silver and Fit certification the longest and for most of my training career. I teach a class of the fittest seniors this side of the Mississippi. Some of them are 75+ years old and can do full burpees and even power clean a barbell. I program the class to not only challenge them but keep them moving pain free for the rest of their lives.

I have trained all ages of athletes for all different sports. From MMA fighters to rugby players, I’ve seen them all. Different sports require different modes of training. For example, I have to coach an MMA fighter through a workout where they have to maintain a pace for 3-5 minutes so they make it through a round without being so tired they can’t continue on. Compared to a rugby player that has to push other big bodies around, so we focus more on strength training.

As a personal trainer I practice what I preach. I wouldn’t listen to a fat doctor telling me to lose weight. Would you? I try every workout before I put my clients or class through it so I know how to program it. For some people it may need mortification; for others it may be just right.

Hello, my name is Shawn Robinson.

I am a Certified personal trainer through National Academy of Sports Medicine with an emphasis on Youth Exercise.

I am a Marine Corps veteran with three tours overseas to Iraq and Afghanistan. I also work with children with intellectual disabilities and on the Autism spectrum.
I work with all ages, body types, and goal sets to help people achieve a healthier lifestyle and crush goals. I have over 4 years of working with individuals to achieve these goals.

I have a soft spot for kids and strive to set them up for success as they grow and mature to learn how to move their bodies and do it without hurting themselves. “It takes a village” is a saying I take literal. Parents are free to come and watch their kids workout or crush a quick workout of their own as well.

You can find me in class, on the floor, or at the desk most days. I put in the work before I push it out to my clients. I strive for great technique and consistency in all I do. The gym is no different.
