Jodi Delgado
Business Development Manager/Group Fitness Instructor/Certified Personal Trainer
Bio :
Jodi has worked in the fitness industry for more than 15 years. Her journey began with her own weight loss challenge. After focusing on her family and using it as an excuse to skip the gym, she woke up one day, looked at a recent picture of herself, saw a girl she didn’t recognize and decided it was time! Time to get healthy, time to lose weight and time to make herself as much of a priority as she had her family. A new gym announced they were being built in her area and Jodi joined before they even broke ground!
After a year of attending group fitness classes, Jodi decided that she could become a bigger part of the equation by becoming a Certified Fitness Instructor, and when that wasn’t enough and she wanted to make a bigger impact, Jodi became a Certified Personal Trainer. Jodi’s desire to get people to recognize their own need to get and to stay healthy motivated her to create programs like “The Biggest Loser” and a “Little Black Dress” Boot Camp, classes that focused on women who desired like-minded goals and an environment where women could share the same challenges. It also created a platform to address women’s health, something Jodi is very passionate about…the need for mammograms, how to work out with a child in tow, the importance of appropriate fitness clothing and shoes and the value of THEIR OWN HEALTH without guilt! Jodi’s enthusiasm to bring fitness classes to central Ohio businesses and consumers is contagious, as she is now our Business Development Manager!

Allie Burghardt
Yoga Instructor / Group Fitness Instructor / Certified Personal Trainer
Bio :
As Allie started participating in group dance fitness classes, she found that the variety, structure, and sense of community kept her excited and engaged in ways that individual workouts couldn’t. The instructors’ enthusiasm and the support from fellow participants made every class feel like a shared experience. This sparked a desire for Allie to not only continue participating but to eventually become an instructor herself. Whether it’s through high-intensity workouts, mat Pilates, yoga, weight training, or more low-impact sessions, being able to guide people in a way that makes fitness fun, social, and fulfilling is what fuels her!
Allie became more knowledgeable and passionate about fitness while teaching group fitness, realizing she wanted to help others experience the same benefits. She started training friends and family, and positive feedback and noticeable progress in their own fitness journeys inspired her to turn this passion into a career. Allie became a Certified Personal Trainer, along with Mat Pilates and 200 HR Yoga teacher and now is fortunate enough to be able to share the knowledge and skills learned with others. Every client Allie works with inspires her, and seeing them reach their fitness goals is the most rewarding part of the job. Allie is proud to be part of their transformation and excited to continue helping more people achieve their own personal success through GYMGUYZ!
