Meet Kyle Shores of F45 Scottsdale Midtown
I am really happy to introduce this unique human to you today.
I meet a lot of people through my husband Brian.
In fact, if you’re reading this, you probably know Brian even if you haven’t met me yet!
I heard all about Kyle Shores before I ever got a chance to meet him. I knew he was dating a girl I knew from lululemon. Brian had tried F45 because of this connection, and fell in love with the challenge and variety of classes, and the new friends.
Through Brian, I learned a lot of things about Kyle: he has a lot of muscles, he is highly motivated and highly motivating, he was a competitive swimmer here in Arizona just like me, and he has a big heart for community.
Just like Brian, Kyle really loves people. As the owner and head trainer of F45 Scottsdale Midtown, Kyle is skilled in working with people and bringing out the best in them.
I first got to meet Kyle at Lululemon — that should come as no surprise to you — when we ran into him and his (now ex) girlfriend randomly at the mall around Christmas in 2018.
If you know anything about my story, you may know at that time that I was legally blind in one eye, four months out from a traumatic brain injury, and experiencing all kinds of symptoms I didn’t understand. I was a mess. Something as simple as going to a mall was terrifying and overstimulating. I had just gotten diagnosed with PTSD from the accident, which gave me a little insight as to why I felt so out of control of my own body and brain.
I say all of that in an attempt to share how empathic and aware Kyle is. He’s really special. He, meeting me for the first time, could understand that I was really struggling with all the stimuli even before I knew how to express what was going on. When most people had no idea how much I struggled to simply stand upright in a space I loved with people I was genuinely interested in connecting with, he was able to see that, acknowledge it without making me feel less-than, and support me from an empowering space.
I’ve never told him that but I think it sums up my first impression very well.
In the years since, I’ve gotten to see how much Kyle loves his people and opens his heart (and wallet) to support charitable causes.
We just adore him and once I can start high intensity training again, I will be an F45 member ASAP!
Without further ado, here’s my interview with Kyle!

How do you practice kindness to your body?
I practice kindness to my body through a variety of activities. On one hand, I may choose to par take in an intense physical exercise/workout and on the second hand, I may choose to hop in a body of water for swim. Either one allows me to enhance my “mind-body” connection.
What else do you want to share with our community?

We are also offering an outdoor Boot Camp this Saturday 8:30am at Cactus Park in Scottsdale, AZ.
