Andrea MacDougall
FITNESS Coach – PERSONAL & GROUP TRAINING
Meet Coach Andrea — the steady fire, the heart-forward leader, and the powerhouse behind some of our most purposeful, results-driven classes.
With years of experience as a Registered Nurse and now a full-time health & fitness specialist, Andrea brings something rare to the floor: deep care, sharp coaching instincts, and a no-nonsense belief in the power of preventive wellness. Her coaching is grounded in authenticity, integrity, and consistency — and you feel that the moment you step into her class.
Andrea leads several key classes on our schedule, each built around smart progression, safe movement, and leaving you stronger than when you walked in:
✨ Mommy & Baby Strength + Core —
A welcoming, structured, supportive environment for postpartum moms to rebuild their strength safely. Andrea blends core rehab principles, low-impact strength training, and mobility work to help new moms reconnect to their bodies, get stronger, and feel confident again — all while keeping baby close. It’s uplifting, empowering, and designed by someone who truly understands the demands of postpartum recovery.
✨ Full Body Strength —
A balanced, progressive strength session designed to build lean muscle, improve functional strength, and reinforce great movement patterns. You’ll lift, sweat, move with purpose, and always walk out feeling capable and proud.
✨ Strength & Conditioning —
A powerful blend of strength work, conditioning intervals, and movement patterns that support everyday life. Andrea programs with intention — steady progression, smart variety, and an emphasis on doing things well, not just doing more.
✨ Low Impact Strength + Mobility —
Controlled strength work with mobility woven throughout. Perfect for anyone building back, managing limitations, or wanting a joint-friendly session that still delivers a real training effect.
What makes training with Andrea so special isn’t just her expertise, it’s her presence.
She teaches with calm confidence and expects your best, but she supports you every step. She notices details. She coaches with purpose. She brings out consistency through small, sustainable habits. And she has a natural way of making you feel seen, capable, and committed to your own progress.
Outside the gym, you’ll find her juicing, cooking, gardening, organizing (everything!), or connecting with the people she loves — the same energy she brings to her classes: grounded, wholehearted, and deeply intentional.
If you’re looking for a coach who will guide you, challenge you, support you, and help you show up as your strongest, most optimal self…
Coach Andrea is your person.
Come train with her — you’ll want to come back for more.
Nicole Bottineau
fitness coach – GROUP TRAINING
Meet Coach Nicole — the spark, the grit, and the unstoppable energy behind some of our most high-impact classes at Free2Be Fitness.
A lifelong athlete with a deep love for sport and competition, Nicole brings that same drive into every room she coaches. She’s the kind of leader who meets you with energy, keeps you focused, and makes you want to push just a little harder, not because you have to, but because she makes you believe you can.
Nicole currently leads several of our most dynamic classes, each built on smart programming, real athletic training, and the kind of atmosphere that makes people show up consistently:
✨ Spin —
High energy, music-driven, empowering. Nicole brings the perfect mix of challenge and fun, pacing you through climbs, sprints, and intervals that build endurance, power, and confidence. Her coaching keeps you locked in, motivated, and fully immersed from start to finish.
✨ Strength & Conditioning —
A balanced, athletic session combining strength work, conditioning blocks, and movement patterns that build real-world fitness. Nicole coaches with precision — challenging you while keeping the environment supportive, uplifting, and fun.
✨ Bootcamp / HIIT-Style Training —
Fast-paced, sweat-driven, and structured to keep you moving with purpose. Nicole programs with intention: simple, effective, and powerful combinations that build full-body strength and elevate your conditioning without overcomplication.
What makes Nicole’s classes stand out isn’t just her athletic background — it’s her presence.
She trains with intensity, but she leads with heart. She’s encouraging without being soft, motivating without overwhelming, and always gives her crew exactly what they need to feel successful. Her energy is contagious. Her standards are high. And she has a natural ability to make people rise to the occasion.
Nicole’s journey, from bootcamp athlete to triathlon trainee to certified Fitness Instructor Specialist and now Spin instructor, reflects exactly how she coaches: committed, evolving, and never afraid of the next challenge.
If you’re looking for a coach who will push you, uplift you, and keep you coming back because the classes just feel that good…
Come train with Nicole. Your energy, strength, and confidence will level up every week.

Sarah DeLong
FITNESS COACH – GROUP TRAINING
Meet Coach Sarah — the energy, warmth, and pure joy behind some of our most loved spin sessions at Free2Be Fitness.
If you’ve ever taken one of her classes, you already know: Sarah brings a different kind of fire. She’s upbeat, deeply encouraging, and creates an atmosphere that makes every rider feel welcome — whether you’re brand new to the bike or a seasoned spinner looking for that next gear.
A longtime Waterdown local, teacher, mom, and lover of all things active, Sarah pours the same heart she brings to her classroom into her coaching. Her goal? To help you feel strong, confident, capable, and proud of what your body can do.
Sarah leads three powerhouse classes on our schedule:
Spin 30 —
A fast, high-energy 30-minute ride designed to boost your cardio, sharpen your mental focus, and kickstart your week. Sarah’s coaching keeps you moving with intention, and her playlists? Always dialed in.
Spin —
Short, purposeful, and packed with just the right intensity. Sarah guides you through climbs, sprints, and rhythm-driven intervals that leave you sweaty, energized, and feeling unstoppable.
Spin ’n Sculpt 45 —
A signature combo of cycling and off-bike strength training that hits endurance, muscle tone, and full-body conditioning in one session. Sarah keeps it fun, smooth, and challenging — a perfect training boost heading into your weekend.
What makes Sarah’s classes so special isn’t just the ride — it’s her presence.
She leads with heart, motivates without pressure, and knows how to set the tone with music that pulls you forward. She meets you where you’re at, celebrates every win, and brings a supportive, community-first energy that makes people excited to show up again and again.
Outside the studio, Sarah’s life is full — raising two teenagers, teaching Grade 7 and 8 in Carlisle, soaking up nature, and recharging at her family cottage in Sauble Beach with a good book. But no matter how busy life gets, she shows up with a smile, ready to pour into her riders.
If you’re looking for a coach who inspires confidence, builds community, and makes every ride feel meaningful…
Come spin with Sarah. You’ll leave stronger, lighter, and energized from the inside out.
