With years of personal experience and the desire for additional personal growth and even more knowledge to help others, she recently became certified as a personal trainer.<\/p>\n

Laukhuf will carry out one-time facility walk-throughs, with a workout specifically created for an individual; as well as one-on-one personal training and group training. She will also be available for athletic and team training.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so excited to have someone with the same passion for health and well-being as the rest of our current fitness team,\u201d said J.J. McClain, YWCA health and wellness coordinator, \u201cand to add someone with such drive, knowledge, and desire to help others in their journeys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laukhuf resides in Van Wert with her husband and two children and volunteers for various adult and youth sports teams and programs. She has served as captain of her church\u2019s volleyball team and as both vice president and president of the Van Wert County Church Volleyball League.<\/p>\n

She is involved in Upwards basketball and has coached within that program for 10 years. She also volunteers for her local church\u2019s youth group and summer camps.<\/p>\n

Laukhuf is a Beachbody coach and a certified Beachbody LIVE! PIYO instructor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited to be working alongside the YWCA to help people of all ages find confidence in their abilities and be healthy for life,\u201d Laukhuf added.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes we need some extra push and accountability,\u201d McClain added. \u201cIn addition to our 24\/7 Fitness Center; energetic, fun classes in our Fitness Studio; and existing passionate and positive fitness team; we think Casey will be a great asset to the YWCA.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have so many amazing things happening here at the YWCA,\u201d McClain noted. \u201cWhen people think of the YW, they don\u2019t often think of fitness, but we hope to change that with our comfortable atmosphere and our overall approach to health and well-being — mind, body, and soul — with a fun, positive energy behind it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel Casey will be a great addition to our team and an asset to the people of Van Wert County and surrounding areas, as another piece to their puzzle of getting started, staying accountable, and taking their health and well-being to the next level,\u201d McClain concluded.<\/p>\n
