Doug Tripp
Assistant Manager / Head CoachI have played sports competitively since the 3rd grade. Highschool is when I really started taking weight lifting and training seriously allowing me to grow from 160 lbs as a freshman to 215 lbs my senior year. This love for continuously improving myself became a staple of my life through college and into my professional career. Unfortunately, juggling my health and an office job often became challenging as my weight fluctuated due to levels of stress. Poor eating habits compounded with prolonged periods of sitting and this led to me becoming 40lbs overweight and unhappy with myself. This is when I learned how to take weight off rather than put it on and capped off my diet by completing my first marathon.
I decided to change careers from Logistics to Coaching because I really want to have a positive impact on people’s lives. This is where my true passion lives. I truly believe fitness should be a positive community and something you can maintain for your entire life. It should be a tool to achieve what you want in life, improve your quality of life and boost your mental health. Whatever your goal, I’m here to help!
Mike Collier
Coach, Personal Trainer, Hyrox Certified CoachMy fitness journey started after watching the Karate Kid as a kid and being inspired by the confidence, discipline, and sense of accomplishment it represented. I went on to compete in the martial arts at the local, state and national levels before opening my own dojo while attending WMU. After a college career in law enforcement, years of night shifts, stress, marriage, children and life responsibilities cause my health to slowly take a back seat. By my early 40’s, I found myself 70lbs overweight, out of shape, and lacking confidence. Determined to change, I spent years rebuilding my health and creating a sustainable approach that fit my lifestyle, eventually becoming a Personal Trainer to hold myself accountable and help others do the same. Today, I’m passionate about helping people improve their quality of life - whether that means losing weight, gaining strength, running their first 5k, or simply feeling healthier, stronger, and more capable as they age.
Spencer Boyd
Coach, Hyrox Certified CoachI'm a lifelong athlete who prefers to play sports over watching them any day. After years of getting asked for gym advice, I got certified through ISSA in 2021 to help more people with their fitness journeys. I have a bachelors degree in biology and certifications in strength and conditioning, personal training, and nutrition. My favorite thing about Limitless is the energy. Everyone is getting after it and encouraging one another!
Myles Bruinekool
CoachMy journey started at MSU where I will be attending for my Sophomore year next year. I’ve played football and baseball my whole life, and have been in the gym consistently for the past 5 years. I spent my first semester at school interning with the Michigan State football team where I learned a lot from the staff and from the players. I got into coaching because I love not just to learn, but to help others learn more about health and fitness. I’m looking forward to being a part of Limitless, and not only seeing myself grow, but others too.
Chloe Armitage
Personal TrainerI’m a 30 year old Personal Trainer with a lifelong drive for strength and movement. I grew up competing. I grew up competing in travel softball, basketball, and cross country. After becoming a mom of two and pushing through the challenges of the COVID lockdown, I reclaimed my identity through fitness. What began as a personal comeback became a lifestyle rooted in discipline, healthy habits, and resilience. With five years of hands-on experience in my own fitness journey, I'm passionate about helping others build strength, confidence, and sustainable routines that lead to real, lasting results.
Angie Huntley
Personal TrainerMy name is Angie, and movement has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a young girl, I was drawn to both dance and athletics, inspired by an older brother who continually challenged me to push myself and strive to be my best. That passion eventually led to a professional dance career, performing nationally and in Chicago before returning to Michigan to open Steps Dance and Fitness Center in Portage. Teaching has always been one of my greatest joys, and throughout the years I've loved helping people discover what they're capable of physcially and mentally. As someone deeply passionate about health and wellness, I've come to believe that longevity isn't simply about adding years, it's about maintaining strength, energy, and vitality to fully enjoy those years. I'm excited about Limitless because it combines two things I deeply care about: helping people get stronger and being part of a community with heart.
