Meet our founder!

I’m Cassandra Habel (She/they pronouns). Most of my life I’ve been an active human, playing sports, spending time outdoors, and there’s rarely a physical activity that I have done and haven’t liked.

I fell in love with functional fitness and strength training by way of CrossFit which led me to a growing interest in powerlifting, olympic lifting, strength, and hypertrophy training. The marriage of all these elements made fitness much more approachable and enjoyable.

Prior to focusing on Feral Fitness full-time I worked as a gym manager and trainer for Anytime Fitness and also worked as a Group Fitness Instructor for Crunch fitness for their HIIT Zone and TRX classes.

I’ve completed certifications as a NASM Group Fitness Instructor as well as completed certifications via Pain Free Performance Certification program and Barbell Rehab.

My education is furthered each year I train by working with and observing great coaches from various fitness disciplines as well as working with talented physical therapists to best serve my clients needs.

I’ve always believed that fitness is truly for any and everyone and that our industry has been led astray by focusing too much on aesthetics and not enough on making people feel good both mentally and physically!
