our team + Facility

Jason Usry, CPT

Facility Director  |  Business Development Master Coach

I began my fitness career 16 years ago as a Les Mills Group Fitness Instructor. I moved up the Les Mills ranks by completing my Advanced Instructor Modules and becoming an Elite certified Group Fitness Coach. My passion grew for fitness as I took the stage alongside International Instructors from all across the world. I received my Personal Trainer Certification from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) in 2005. Over the past 16 years, I have worked at several local gyms in the Aiken/Augusta area. This experience was tremendous.

In 2012, we opened Village Fitness, a boutique facility that was to become known as a “results driven” facility, unlike our “Big Box” membership driven competitors.  Over the past 6 years, we have become known for our training programs, group fitness classes, and our personalized approach to fitness. We have built our business around the “complete” member experience and the journey that each member takes as a part of our VF Fit Family. We pride ourselves on having the best trainers, instructors, and nutrition coaches available to assist our members’ fitness journey on every level and every step they take towards a healthier and happier place.

In 2014, I became an Alloy Master Coach and since that date I have installed our training programs in over 200, of the currently 1200 and growing, licensed locations around the world.  I have certified over 2000 Alloy coaches in our programs and training methodology.

As we grow and expand in the upcoming years, it is my desire to continue to be a leader in the fitness industry and be the example for other successful business owners to model.

SKYLER GIANELLI

Membership Sales Director 

Skyler found a sense of confidence in the gym and enjoyed every session. He was eager to see results every day as he gained muscle mass. After an injury, Skyler took the time to obtain his Elite Personal Training Certification with ISSA to learn more about corrective exercise and nutrition. He is passionate about helping other find resources, strengthen their bodies, and live happy, healthy lives. Stop by Village Fitness to meet Skyler, our new VF Membership Director!.

Katie Usry, CPT

Personal Trainer  |  Marketing Team

My fitness journey began through my love of dance. I stayed active through college as a member of the dance team at Clemson, and went on to coach for several years after graduating with my degree in Psychology.

My love for the sport easily transitioned into a passion for training, mentoring, and cultivating that passion in others. I took this love into the community by getting Zumba certified which quickly led to obtaining certification in other Group Fitness classes followed by obtaining my ACE Personal Training certification. Now, not only do I get to help others create a better life for themselves, but I also get to call it a job!

I have been with Village Fitness since May 2015 and love the community we have created here.

My goal each day is to provide a safe, supportive, and fun environment in which my clients can achieve things they may not have known they could!
