About Holly
Holly Rilinger is a fitness expert who is changing the game, delivering expertise and tough workouts, wrapped up in motivational shout outs and impromptu dance parties. She is all about taking control of your life without ever taking yourself too seriously. She lives every day with purpose, always looking to inspire change and reach for greatness. Her workouts are crazy tough, but bundled with love, encouragement and laughter.
Her credentials are there to back it up – every imaginable fitness certification, NIKE master trainer, contributing editor for Fitness, Self and Cosmo Magazines, brand ambassador for health warrior and Vitacoco and much more. The ultimate coach, she uses a team approach in her teaching. She is shoulder-to-shoulder with her team; encouraging them, pushing them and giving focus to goals that are not just about personal fitness, but about grabbing life by the horns and making it their own. Members of her classes and camps back each other up, cheer one another on and reach their goals together.
Holly’s passion for fitness is rooted in her professional and collegiate basketball career. Driven by a competitive fire that was ignited at the age of 6, Holly decided early on that she would one day be a professional basketball player. At 5’4, the odds were stacked against her. Yet with heart, discipline and belief, Holly’s collegiate and professional career became a reality.
At the age of 18, Holly was named by USA TODAY as the #1 freshman point guard in America. She went on to be James Madison’s All-Time Leading scorer (men or women) as well as a Strength and Conditioning All-American. As a pro, Holly traveled the world playing for teams in Germany, France, New Zealand, and finally making a cameo appearance with The WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury.
Working out with Holly is like jumping into a fitness mosh pit and body surfing the crowd with your favorite song playing. You feel high. You feel fit. You feel like you can conquer the world. Why? Because she believes you can.
