Meet The Team

I've lived in Montana with my family for 8 years now and I love Montana.
I am happy to raise my two beautiful kids in a place like this.
I am passionate about helping others and providing outlets for my own mental and physical health and I am humbled to be able to provide that for others as well.
My classes can be challenging but my goal is that you always feel welcome and accepted for who you are, and where you want to be.
Certified fitness instructor and certified personal trainer.

Hello! My name is Alissa, and I've lived in this beautiful state most of my life. My passion is in health, wellness and community and I love to surround myself with likeminded people! I'm a mom of two crazy kids who constantly keep me on my toes and have given me purpose. They are my "Why". I have found Leg Up to be a beautiful place to grow physically and mentally and I'm stoked to be a part of your journey too! "I don't wait until I'm confident to show up. I show up until I'm Confident". Together let's stay positive, show up, and work hard.

"I fell in love with cycling while in college at the University of Oregon and the rest is history. As I have moved to new towns, my cycling studios are my home away from home. I love the sense of community in such a positive and uplifting environment, and I am so thankful to have this studio in Frenchtown! Whether I'm on the podium or riding along side of you, I can't help but smile.....and even more so when I really feel the burn! When I'm not instructing, you can fine me fishing, hiking, practicing my archery, and soaking up the outdoors anyway possible."

"My name is Chelsea, I'm from the burbs of Chicago. I did the school thing, graduated with a bachelor's degree in zoology at Colorado State University and then moved to Missoula in 2016. My addiction to spin started with Jen. Jen introduced me by being my workout buddy and ended up becoming one of my closest friends. I always loved jamming to music while doing an activity and sharing my experiences with others so when I started to spin with Jen I knew this exercise would be one of my passions. Besides riding the spin bike, you can fine me gaming at home, snowboarding up in snowbowl with my partner, running with my two doggos, and care taking care of all the animals that I can handle."

Michele Buller's Bio; Leg Up Fitness

Hi. My name is Michele Buller. I joined the amazing team at Leg Up Fitness in 2022 and I teach Sculpt
and Tone classes. This Studio is a warm and welcoming place of encouragement where fitness goals
happen and friendships are made. It is my honor to be a part of this studio and community and it would
be my pleasure to welcome you into class.
I have enjoyed working in the fitness and wellness industry for 32+ years, teaching classes and training
clients. In 2024 I established Frenchtown Wellness Studio, where I offer private Pilates and the MELT
Method sessions.
When not teaching, training, or running my studio, I enjoy cooking, interior design, traveling, the
outdoors, and spending quality time with family and friends.
I hope to see you in class soon! Michele.

Hey, I'm Jenna, I was born and raised in Missoula and have 2 cats. I graduated college in 2019 with my degrees in Special Education, Elementary Education and Reading. I've always been active my whole life and been involved in every sport under the sun. I started taking group fitness classes at the end of 2020 and got my group certification in 2021 and have been coaching ever since and loving it! I love getting to work with people beyond the school setting while still having fun. Group fitness had such an impact on my life for the better and getting to share that with other people has been such an amazing experience.

A mentor once observed that I organize my life through movement, and it's true that exploring the world through sports and physical activities had been a constant thread through my experiences. Among the more unique of these were 8 years as a ballet dancer, a brief stint as a rower in college, and a trip to an ultimate frisbee national championship tournament as part of a Missoula-based club team in my early 30s. My latest pursuits are running ultramarathons (any distance over 26.2 miles) and power lifting, but you'll also find me mountain biking and skiing. I'm so excited for the community of movement that Leg Up Fitness is creating in Frenchtown and grateful to become a part of it. Like all the staff, I am dedicated to making movement accessible and welcoming for people of all identities and abilities.
