This month’s member spotlight is on the one and only power couple Kelly and Eric Head!
Kelly and Eric are as friendly, positive and caring as they come.
They are regulars in our Masters and 7am classes, always bringing the team spirit and support.
They always show up to class with a smile on their face and a can-do attitude.

Kelly is a regular on our committed club board for 16 or more classes in a month and Eric is at Fit2Live every chance he gets when he isn’t on the road for work.
This power couple have accomplished some amazing fitness achievements at Fit2Live in the last 2.5 years.
Kelly is a proud member in our 250 class club and Eric is fast approaching his 250 class milestone.
They have participated in 2 Fall Brawl In House Competitions and have plenty of functional fitness to show for it.
For these reasons and many more Kelly and Eric have been chosen as our members of the month for September!
Read all about Kelly and Eric’s amazing Fit2Live journey below!
Tell us about yourselves, where you’re from, what you do for work, hobbies, what do you do outside of work and Fit2Live?
Kelly- I grew up in Rochester, MI. We’ve also lived in Los Angeles and Cincinnati. I recently retired from my job as Marketing Manager for an educational consulting company. I love to ski, hike, go camping with our dog and Formula 1 racing (we try to attend one race per year).
Eric- I was born in Saline and moved to Wisconsin in 3rd grade – Kelly and I moved back to Saline in ’95. I work for Adobe and manage our account team that handles the Federal Government business. I love to snowboard, hike, camp and travel for F1 races.
Tell us your love story.. How did you meet, first date, proposal details, etc.
We met the first week of freshman year at Miami University in Ohio. After dating for four years, Eric got a job in LA and Kelly got a job in Cincinnati. We were either going to break up or get married – we made the right choice and have been married for 33 years.
This one is all about your family. You have 3 awesome boys. What was it like raising 3 boys? What was your biggest hack as a parent? What was/is your family mission statement/guiding light?
Our boys are 29, 27, and 23. There were some wild times for sure, but overall they made it easy on us and got along amazingly well (only a few trips to the ER). The boys still make fun of us for our mantra while they were growing up “different people get different things at different times.”
When and why did you get started at Fit2Live?
Kelly- I started in March of 2023 after seeing how much Eric and Alex loved the gym.
Eric- I started in December of 2022 after a suggestion from our daughter in law, Maggie. She knew we would love it!
What do you love about Fit2Live? What keeps you coming back with a smile on your face?
Kelly- I love the people, it’s so fun to catch up and joke around with everyone in class. It’s great to be making new friends at our age! Also, the coaches are amazing and have helped me a ton with my form. We recently went to our son’s gym in Louisville and the owner said it was obvious that we were well coached.
Eric- The people, the coaches, and Brandon’s workouts. I also love Eric F’s pretzels.
You are both regulars in the masters classes at Fit2Live.
What do you enjoy most about the masters classes? What is your pitch for someone who is unsure about trying out masters classes?
Sharon makes the class so enjoyable. She explains the workouts really well and we love our masters friends and look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you’re unsure, try one class to see how each movement can be scaled, the camaraderie of the group, and the positive encouragement from the other members of the class.
Kelly, describe Eric in 1 sentence to someone who hasn’t met him. Eric, describe Kelly in 1 sentence to someone who has never met her.
Kelly- Eric is very friendly, outgoing, kind, funny, and he will go out of his way to make you feel at ease.
Eric- Kelly loves meeting new people and trying new things. She is funny, smart and very determined – she can do anything she wants when she puts her mind to it!
How are you two alike and how are you two not alike?
Kelly- We are both adventurous, love the outdoors, and traveling. Eric is more outgoing than me, I tend to be a bit quieter.
Eric- We both prefer a mountain vacation to a beach vacation. Kelly is a much faster walker than me.
Give us a fun, maybe unknown fact about yourselves.
Kelly- When I was little, I taught myself to ride a unicycle, and I loved walking my neighborhood on stilts. When we met Eric called me “sideshow Kelly.”
Eric- I was a walk-on baseball player at Miami, which basically meant I cleaned up equipment after practice.
If you could travel anywhere in the world tomorrow, where would you go?
Formula 1 race in Monza, Italy.
Give yourself a power couple nickname. Now make a power couple workout with that nickname: Maybe wedding anniversary themed. What does it look like movements, reps, rounds, etc.

The workout would include:
-400m run/row
-33 step ups

-33 shoot throughs
-33 toes to bar
-400m run/row
