Britt McGrath (She/Her)

  • FOUNDER/OWNER

    I have been on a decades-long journey of learning to look at my body for everything it is, rather than everything it is not. And through years of certifications, training, and actual hands on work, I’ve found my purpose. I’ve found my worth again.

    And that is to help other people who have had similar histories as mine, give diet culture and all of it’s toxic friends a huge middle finger. To finally start living our lives in ways that do not revolve around how our bodies look, but rather everything else life has to offer.

Tiff Kreps (She/Her)

  • STUDIO MANAGER

    I meet with clients for consultations, offer studio tours, and manage client information. I also do a lot of the “behind the scenes” work like scheduling, sending out emails, planning events, and all that other administrative stuff that Type A people like me LOVE to do!

    I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and am working with clients 1-on-1 as well as instructing a variety of classes from Total Body Triad to En(core), and many more!

    I pull from my dance background to create fun and creative profiles to meet the needs of each client.

Jamie Salacup (She/Her)

  • CLIENT COORDINATOR

    I have been a MHM member since the beginning, and you may see me at the front desk or in a class. I am strongly rooted in Health at Every Size, Fat Liberation, and the fact that ALL bodies deserve to have spaces where they can explore movement.

    When not working, I’m chasing sunsets, dancing to whatever’s on, bumping into something, or adding to my TBR pile.

Mary Howell (She/Her)

  • MHM TRAINER AND INSTRUCTOR

    I became a personal trainer to try to help others find a joy in movement that I struggled for so long to find myself. I never felt like I belonged in regular gyms and for too long suffered the consequences of "no pain, no gain."

    I want movement and exercise to be a celebration of what our bodies can do, both today and in our potential for greater strength and mobility and resilience.

Jo Glading-DiLorenzo (She/Her)

  • MHM TRAINER AND INSTRUCTOR

    Since 2010, I have channeled my lifelong love of play into a part-time hustle as a group fitness instructor here in the valley. I teach with a “challenge by choice” approach that encourages people to move to their own level of challenge and exertion. I model various levels, challenges, and choices throughout group fitness classes while focusing closely on helping participants visualize, feel and maintain solid technique and form. Oh, and music is the answer in my classes.

    I’ve been a fitness and spin instructor at the Hampshire Regional YMCA for nearly 15 years and, formerly, Smith College, where I directed Project Coach, a sports-based youth development and social justice program.

Alyssa Diamond (She/Her)

  • MHM TRAINER

    I am your go-to Body Movement Professional, who brings a unique blend of expertise and a down-to-earth vibe to her work. My journey started on the basketball courts in high school, leading me to a love for a range of activities from softball to weightlifting. But it's not all about physical strength for me.

    I am on a personal growth journey, embracing improv as a tool to boost my creativity, especially when engaging with groups. This self-development quest adds an extra layer of depth to my personal training sessions, making them not just about fitness but also about building a positive, can-do spirit.

    I have the smarts, but it's my approachable manner and newfound improv skills that make my sessions stand out. I bring a sense of ease and fun to each session, encouraging my clients to not only stretch their bodies but also their comfort zones.

Geve Mullins (They/Them)

  • MHM TRAINER

    I am a queer non-binary cyclist, riverside treasure hunter, and urban design nerd. I started personal training after feeling the power of movement as a tool to ground myself in my body and celebrate what it could do. I also started personal training because of how difficult it was to find conventional gyms that felt comfortable for me.

    I believe that everyone deserves access to movement spaces that feel safe and joyful.

    My coaching style is HAES aligned and grounded in celebrating one another’s various strengths, and I am grateful that I get to be a step in my clients’ strength-building journeys!

Marlene Rye (She/Her)

  • MHM TRAINER AND INSTRUCTOR

    Ten years ago I was in chronic back pain and thought my life was over. I was in a level 7-10 pain 24 hours a day. I was severely depressed trying to raise a high energy child and felt like everything was pretty much hopeless. So, I decided to start going to the gym as I figured I had nothing to lose. As it turns out, when I was exercising, as long as I avoided certain movement patterns, my pain went away.

    So, I decided to become a personal trainer in the hopes that I could fully heal my body and also help others. Not only did I heal myself, I also found I had a passion for helping others to exercise safely to either stay out of pain, get out of pain or to avoid injury. I worked as a personal and group training instructor for ten years and I helped so many people.

    I enjoy working with people of all ages and abilities and my goal is to light a fire and excitement to move. And if you have pain in your joints, I am very skilled in not only helping you to move in a pain free manner, but also problem solving in ways that will also help you get past your pain once and for all. My goal is to have my clients look forward to working out. Every workout is an opportunity to move your body in a safe manner while also getting those wonderful endorphins that exercise gives us!

Erin O’Connell (She/Her)

  • MHM INSTRUCTOR

    I am a dedicated movement and wellness enthusiast with over five years of experience in the fitness industry. I have a diverse background, including teaching group classes, personal training, and practicing yoga. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from UMass Amherst and a Master’s in Health Studies from the MGH Institute of Health Studies in Boston, MA.

    My international studies in Rishikesh, India, culminated in earning a 500-hour Certified Yoga Teacher certification and becoming a Sound Healing Practitioner. Guided by my passion for helping others on their movement and wellness journeys, I believe that movement is medicine and consider it both a privilege and a powerful tool for healing.

    I am excited to share my knowledge and love for movement at MHM, inspiring others to explore the transformative art of movement and mindfulness.

Peyton Smith (They/Them)

  • MHM INSTRUCTOR

    Seven years ago, I set foot in the gym for the first time and found my passion. Today, I am a nationally competing powerlifter, currently ranked ninth in the nation in my weight class. In 2025, I became the first MX powerlifter to take on the national platform in the USAPL federation; this wasn’t just a personal achievement but a stepping stone showing that trans and non-binary athletes not only exist, but are capable of incredible things. As a non-binary individual and athlete, I strive to create more inclusive and welcoming environments for everyone, whether it’s their first time touching a barbell or their fourth national championship. 

    Outside of the gym, I am a student completing my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Psychology, with a 4+1 Master's Program in Human Performance. After a year of experience in powerlifting coaching and internships with Equinox Fitness Club and UMass Athletics, I want to showcase my passion for strength and fitness. No matter how much weight is on the bar, life is full of achievements that deserve to be celebrated. I hope to be there cheering you on during your journey!

Katie Lipsmeyer (She/Her)

  • MHM TRAINER

    I am a connector, experience designer, explorer, community weaver, writer, and storyteller. As former co-owner and award-winning trainer at 50/50 Fitness/Nutrition, I have taught 20,000 hours of mindful movement through fitness. In 2019, I founded Camp Glow It Up, a women's summer camp promoting fitness, whimsy, self-celebration, intentional groups, and intergenerational relationships.

    Outside of the studio, I contribute my professional talents toward advocacy for conscious eating as ‘Vision Steward’ for internationally renowned Food Educator & Activist, Charles x Michel. In this role, I have worked with global organizations such as the United Nations, World Food Programme, and Rainforest Alliance. I believe access to local, fresh, nutrient-rich food is a basic human right and food education for all is key to a more equitable future.
