Bethany Welch
Founder & Head Coach
I have been involved in the fitness world for a majority of my life. What started as a long run with a dear friend has become a decade of expanding knowledge of the human body, and how it moves.
Over the last ten years, I have coached both individual and group fitness. My certifications include Group Fitness, PT, RRCA (running), TRX, NASM-Nutrition, and Prenatal Fitness. I have taught for boutique group fitness establishments Flywheel Sports and Orange Theory Fitness, designing and executing programs on stationary bikes, rowers, and treadmills. I started Keep the Pace Run Club for runners of all experiences wishing to run any distance. Simultaneously, I am a personal trainer, designing and coaching individuals to meet a wide variety of individual fitness goals.
Personally, I love pushing my own fitness limits. I completed my first marathon in college, and have since completed several, including World Marathon Majors in Chicago, New York, and Berlin. While I love road races, I also love trail races and ultras! I recently completed a 100 miler.
I work out to find out what I am capable of, and that is the same philosophy and mindset I bring to coaching. I am incredibly passionate about inclusivity, and believe movement should be accessible to all bodies. I currently reside in NYC, but am originally from Massachusetts.

Alex Prostano
Coach
I have been a New York City based fitness instructor, personal trainer and run coach with 10 + years of experience.
When I'm not coaching my amazing clients, I am most likely training for triathlons, marathons or watching (insert trash tv ie: love island, love is blind etc)
My favorite fitness mantra > “Performance over Aesthetics”

Kyle Bergman
Coach
I have over 10 years of coaching experience across both lacrosse, group fitness, and personal training. More recently, I have fallen in love with triathlons, and am on my own mission to compete with the best triathletes in the world. I love helping individuals identify a goal or race, and then putting in the hard work and dedication to achieve their dream.
When I'm not training clients or doing my own training, I am most likely making TikToks about Swoveralls :).
Kyle's Certifications: UESCA Triathlon Coach, NASM CPT, ACE Perinatal
Michelle DeSantis
Coach
-I grew up in Connecticut, and as a competitive athlete/collegiate basketball player, I decided to take my competitive nature into the fitness training and running world.

Estee Gabel
Coach
My love for fitness began when I walked on to the rowing team in college (never having really participated in competitive team sports before!). Recently, I've discovered a deep appreciation for endurance running and the joy that comes from challenging my mind & body to go further and further and further.
My experience as a fitness coach began with indoor cycling and has grown to include indoor rowing, Orangetheory Fitness, and running.
Estee's Certifications: NASM-CPT, Spinning Level II
Natalie Fuccillo
Coach
Hey there!
I'm Natalie Fuccillo, and fitness is my jam. I'm a NASM certified personal trainer and RRCA Run coach, which means I love pushing myself and others to new limits.
Running is my passion, and I'm always up for a new challenge. I've tackled several Half Ironmans, numerous half marathons, and even conquered the NYC Marathon in 2023.
​
Before diving into the fitness world, I was a D1 Women's lacrosse athlete at James Madison University, where we snagged 3 conference championships and 1 national championship during my time on the team. Go Dukes! ​
​
So, whether I'm coaching a killer workout, hitting the pavement for a long run, or cheering on the run club, I'm all about fitness, fun, and community. Let's get moving!
