Hello! My name is Shelby and I have been in the fitness industry for 10 years now. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Exercise Science from UNK, I have my Personal Trainer Certificate through ACSM, and I am a Pre and Post Natal Corrective Exercise Specialist. I have worked with various people over the years, from ages 14 to 80’s, whether it be improving sport specific performance or improving your quality of life. I love working with those who are pregnant or postpartum (no matter how many years) and empowering them to keep their strength during and after pregnancy and making your recovery smoother. Whether you are just starting out or have been exercising for years, I can help you reach your fullest potential in creating an overall healthy lifestyle that works for YOU and helps you become the best version of yourself. Email me at sbottolfsen@metroymca.org and we can set up a time to meet!

Hi, I’m Jesa, Health & Wellness Director here at the Westview YMCA! My fitness journey began over 20 years ago when I reluctantly signed up for personal training sessions. I didn’t expect much, but those sessions ended up transforming my body, my mindset, and ultimately, my career. I discovered the mental and emotional benefits of strength training, learned to listen to my body, and felt empowered in ways I never expected. That experience led me to pursue a career in personal training, and over the years, my passion for helping others has only grown. While I no longer coach youth sports like I once did (go, baseball moms!), I still carry that same coach’s heart into every session, class, and conversation. I want people to feel seen for who they are, valued for what they bring, and supported in their pursuit of wellness on their terms. As the Health & Wellness Director, I’m deeply committed to making sure each member at Westview feels welcomed, empowered, and capable of achieving goals they may have once thought were out of reach. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or pushing toward a new milestone, I’m here to help you believe in yourself every step of the way. Because a life changed through wellness? That’s a life worth celebrating.
