John McGough (in his own words):
“Hockey was my main sport growing up. I also wrestled for 1 year. I decided to start lifting weights in 10th grade and did that for many years and also go into taekwondo.  When I was 21, I decided to leave my job as a golf course management worker and go to school for fitness at NPTI in Cleveland.  I finished school and started working for Anytime Fitness, where I was a manager/trainer for 8 years before teaming up with a few others to open Elevate Fusion Fitness in Lawrenceville.  In my free time, I mountain bike with friends and play in a band.”

Chrissy Ludwikowski (in her own words):
“Outdoor recreation professional that encourages everyone to enjoy staying active and live life adventurously! Graduated from Penn State University with a degree in nutritional sciences, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my fiancé, Jake, and our goberian pup, Bear. I’ve been with Go Ape USA for about a year and a half, and before that, I worked for Kayak Pittsburgh and Venture Outdoors, an outdoor recreation non-profit located in Pittsburgh.”
Go Ape is an outdoor adventure experience…a 2-3 hour journey through the forest canopy, tackling dangling obstacles, and flying around on multiple zip lines.  For more information on Go Ape Adventure courses, and the Pittsburgh area course located in North Park, go to https://goape.com

Erin Grace (in her own words):
“I am a 200 hour registered yoga instructor and have been practicing yoga for 16 years.  I received my teacher training through Yoga Yoga in Austin, TX in 2007. Since then I have taught and practiced in Austin, Northern Virginia, and Pittsburgh.  I have a specialization in prenatal yoga, and love to teach a variety of styles here in Bridgeville, where I opened Bend the Bridge Yoga in July of 2016. Outside of being immersed in yoga (and loving every bit of it), I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughters and 2 dogs.  Yoga has played a significant role in guiding me through balancing self, family and work.  I am grateful to share that with others and teach what I love.”
