Strength & Conditional Coach
As co-owner of Iron Will Fitness, my husband and I built this gym with one goal in mind—to create a private, supportive, and results-driven environment where people of all levels can train with confidence.
I’m a certified personal trainer with a passion for helping people build strength, confidence, and consistency. I bring high energy into every session—whether it’s one-on-one training or group classes—creating an environment that pushes you while still making training enjoyable and sustainable.
As a competitive bodybuilder, WNBF Figure Pro, and PNBA Figure Pro I understand the discipline, structure, and commitment it takes to achieve real results.

I also specialize in strength and conditioning, as well as working with individuals recovering from injuries or surgery. In addition, I have experience working with clients who have disabilities or special needs, providing a patient, supportive, and personalized approach to help them improve mobility, strength, and overall quality of life.

Kaitlin Zak
Barre Class Instructor
I’ve been dancing since I was three years old, training in ballet, tap, jazz, and acrobatics through my teens. Movement has always been a huge part of my life, and that passion naturally led me to discover barre during college.
I quickly fell in love with the combination of strength, control, and flow, and went on to earn my certification through Total Barre. Barre allows me to blend my dance background with a challenging, full-body workout that builds strength, improves balance, and enhances overall movement.
My classes are designed to be high-energy, engaging, and just the right amount of challenging. I focus on creating an environment where clients feel motivated, supported, and confident while still pushing themselves to get the most out of every session.
Outside of the gym, I love staying active through traveling and outdoor activities, which keeps my energy high and my approach to fitness fresh. I bring that same energy into every class, along with a little bit of personality to keep things fun.
My goal is simple—to help you feel stronger, move better, and actually enjoy the process.
Sandra Stevenson
Pilates Instructor • Personal Trainer
Group Fitness Instructor • Recovery Coach
I’ve never been someone who fit neatly into a classroom, but the moment I stepped into the world of athletics, everything clicked. What once felt like a challenge became an advantage—my ADD driving me through a fitness journey that has spanned track and field, powerlifting, strongman, Spartan races, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and ultimately earning my PNBA Figure title.
My journey hasn’t just been physical. Recovery and faith have played a major role in shaping who I am and how I coach. I know what it means to rebuild, grow, and find purpose again—and that experience shaped my purpose: helping others rediscover their joy, strength, and passion.
Today, I’m a Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, Pilates Instructor, and Recovery Coach—and an avid cat lover who believes movement should feel empowering, not intimidating. My mission is to meet people exactly where they are and guide them toward the healthiest, happiest version of themselves.
Mildred "Milly" Michaud
Personal Trainer
I am a Certified personal trainer, two-time Cancer survivor and Bikini competitor dedicated to helping others build strength from the inside out.
My journey through cancer and onto the competition stage has shaped my resilient, discipline and deep understanding of what it takes to transform, both physically and mentally.
Through my own experiences, I have learned that true changes requires consistency, patience and a powerful mindset. Competing twice in the bikini division has further strengthened my commitment to structured training and intentional progress.
Today, I use that knowledge to guide my clients through personalized programs designed to support fat loss, muscle development, and lasting confidence. My mission is to empower others to rise above their limitations, build sustainable habits, and step into their strongest most confident selves.
Maria Sanchez-(Feliciano)
(BEAST FAIRY)
I’m Maria Sanchez-Feliciano, a proud Puerto Rican woman originally from Puerto Rico, and I’ve called Hartford, Connecticut home since 1985. Throughout my life, I’ve always believed in having a strong mindset, staying positive, and working hard to chase my dreams. No matter what season of life I’ve been in, I’ve always pushed myself to grow and become better.
Before bodybuilding became a part of my life, I was always active and passionate about movement. I spent years involved in dance, cheerleading, gymnastics, and pageants. I also loved helping friends and family with their hair and beauty needs. Encouraging others, helping people feel confident, and bringing positive energy has always come naturally to me.
My bodybuilding journey officially began in 2015, and it quickly became something I truly fell in love with. From 2016 to 2019, I competed as a Bikini Pro in OCB/INBA. In 2023, I transitioned into the Wellness division, continuing to challenge myself and grow through the sport. Bodybuilding taught me discipline, confidence, resilience, and how powerful the mind and body can be when they work together.
That passion inspired me to help others on their own journeys, which led me to become a certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, and Posing Coach. I love helping clients reach their goals—whether it’s losing weight, building strength, improving mobility, preparing for the stage, or simply becoming healthier and more confident.
In addition to fitness, I’m also a licensed cosmetologist and the CEO of Hairmosa Salon in Farmington, Connecticut. Through my salon, I work with everyday clients as well as competitors, helping with hair, makeup, and stage presentation so they can look and feel their absolute best.
My mission is to empower others to become the best version of themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally. I believe self-love is where everything begins. When you learn to believe in yourself, turn negativity into strength, and recognize your worth, there is nothing you can’t accomplish.
