Danelle was born and raised in the Butte/Anaconda area where she and her husband are now raising their two children. An avid volleyball player from grade school to college, she knew there was something missing when her volleyball career ended. She would try all the fitness crazes as they popped up, but she never found anything that she could stick with for very long without getting bored. After trying Strength & Conditioning 3 years ago, she quickly fell in love with the process . and the sense of community Strength & Conditioning created. She not only wanted to become fitter and healthier herself, but she also wanted to help those around her obtain their goals; in October of 2017 she obtained her Strength & Conditioning Level 1 certification. Danelle has had experience coaching Strength & Conditioning since the beginning of 2018. Strength & Conditioning has helped Danelle excel in all areas of her life – from being a better mom to enjoying all of the outdoor activities that Montana has to offer.

Alison learned of Strength & Conditioning when she decided to change her diet about 5 years ago. She looked to nutrition to stop a growing waistline and sort out a low energy, stuck-in-a-rut period of life. She chose the Primal Blueprint’s approach to nutrition, which also advocates re-learning to play and practicing functional fitness. As luck would have it, 6 months into her nutrition journey Copper City Strength & Conditioning came to town. Alison joined during its first month of operation in 2012 to learn how to squat, deadlift, and do a pull-up. Now, 4 years later she’s learned many gymnastics skills, fell in love with Olympic lifting, and continues to practice a paleo-based diet to support her Strength & Conditioning habit. She’s always open to learning new things and sharing her nutrition and fitness journey to help others. She received her Strength & Conditioning Level 1 certificate in December 2015.

A lifelong athlete, and health, wellness, and fitness enthusiast, Krissy started Strength & Conditioning three years ago in Baltimore, MD. After playing field hockey for Johns Hopkins University, where she majored in Public Health and received her Master’s in Public Health and Business Administration, Krissy spent years trying out and instructing different fitness programs – from boot camp classes to indoor cycling to kick boxing. Strength & Conditioning was the perfect combination of what she had been looking for – high-intensity, fun, competitive, variable, and, most importantly, had an incredible feeling of community. It was unlike any other program Krissy had experienced – she saw results, felt challenged, and was constantly learning new things. Krissy received her Strength & Conditioning Level 1 in April 2016, and began coaching part-time (in addition to her full-time position at a Baltimore-based non-profit, where she oversaw running, cycling, and triathlon training teams). Her favorite aspect of Strength & Conditioning is that there is always progress to be made – new skills, improved technique, heavier weight, faster times. Krissy moved to Butte in August 2016 with her three dogs and her husband and she loves it here!

Growing up, Kara enjoyed all sports and fitness. It seemed natural after Kara moved to Missoula from West Virginia that she would pursue fitness and sports further by obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Health and Human Performance. After graduating she got her American College of Sports Medicine Personal Trainer certification, and worked with both individuals and small groups as a trainer at a gym in Missoula. Kara began using a lot of Strength & Conditioning based workouts for her own training as well as many of her clients. In the fall of 2012 Kara got her Level 1 Strength & Conditioning Certificate, and moved to Butte, where she began working out and coaching at Copper City Strength & Conditioning. Kara now holds a Strength & Conditioning L2, Strength & Conditioning Kids, USAW Advanced Sport Performance Certificate and a USA Powerlifting Club Coach certificate.

Tara spent many years as an avid runner before trying Strength & Conditioning about 8 years ago. She quickly became impressed with Strength & Conditioning due to its variety, scalability and application to everyday life, but most of all she became hooked on the Strength & Conditioning community and how it supports its members through whatever fitness journey they choose. Tara has had a longtime interest in fitness and health; she spent time as a nurse in the US Army then went on to complete a Master’s Degree in Public Health. During the day, Tara works for the Montana Primary Care Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving access to high-quality, community-based, affordable primary health care in Montana, especially for underserved and vulnerable populations.
Tara co-owns CCCF with her husband Anthony and is a Strength & Conditioning Level 2 and Strength & Conditioning Kids trainer, and also holds USA Weightlifting Level 1 and USA Powerlifting Club Coach certifications.

Anthony has been involved in functional fitness for over 10 years now. After years of on and off training that didn’t seem to get results and didn’t keep his interest, Anthony stumbled upon functional training. He instantly loved this style of exercise, largely due to a plethora of movement disciplines combined with the fact that he could get a great workout in an hour or less! The large amount of movements kept exercise novel and fun. The intensity kept workouts short, allowing for this young father to guard time for himself and still have enough time left over to devote to work, recreation and family. Anthony decided in early 2012 to bring the joys and challenges of this exciting training methodology to Butte, America by opening Copper City Strength & Conditioning with his wife, Tara.
