— "Wherever you are in your fitness journey, you are always welcome here."

Don’t let those dimples fool you, Christine "Freddy" Alfred is a force to be reckoned with. She is a degreed fitness professional who completed a B.S. in Exercise Science with an emphasis as a Health and Fitness Specialist. Christine has experience teaching group classes such as Spin, Cardio Kickboxing, Step, and Pilates. She also has worked as a Personal Trainer and Corporate Wellness Director.
In college she got an internship opportunity in San Diego working at a children’s weight loss camp. That’s where she decided her passion wasn’t just helping people get healthier, but changing their lives.
After managing a kickboxing gym for two years and her boss moving away and selling the franchise, she decided it was time to put her ideas and creativity to use. She used her one eyed rescue pup, Pax, as motivation to create SixPax Fitness.
SixPax was created on the idea that “Wherever you are in your journey, you are always welcome here.” Meaning, we welcome EVERYONE. We are a community, we are a family, we are a PACK.
SixPax was also created on the idea to give back. If Christine is given a platform, she’s going to use it to make the world a better place.

Ed West, at age 41, is a high-energy Certified Personal Trainer and dynamic Kickboxing Instructor who is very excited about joining the Six Pax Fitness team.  With this opportunity of joining the team, He looks to motivate as well as coach all walks-of-life reach their health and fitness goals one day at a time.  He is a proud father of two teenage girls who mean everything to him.  Now, what drives him to want to help others is the fact that about 7 years ago, Ed suffered the loss of his mother who spent most, if not all of her life battling with diabetes.  Therefore, when you combine Ed’s love for wanting to help others live a healthier lifestyle, with his passion for health & wellness, you can bet your bottom dollar that he will stop at nothing until he has helped those with the aspiration become a better stronger version of themselves.  

Ed is no stranger to the fitness game; having played sports (football) starting at a young age up through the college level (NAIA) and one can say that he is definitely no rookie to working out.  Ed started training the general population for about 2 years by way of boot camps at various parks around the Louisville area before being certified.  He decided to take it a step further by studying to get his PT certification through National Council on Strength & Fitness (NCSF, Sept 2016).  In addition, to continue his maturation in fitness made the jump into the kickboxing realm, trained and studied to become Kickboxing Instructor certified through American Fitness Professionals and Associates (AFPA, February 2018).

It all started when a friend invited Theresa Schmidt to a cardio-kickboxing class in the late 1990s. She had been taking traditional taekwondo classes for several months but wanted to get more of a workout and cardio-kickboxing fit the bill. She got certified as a Cardio Karate Kickboxing Instructor from NAPMA (National Association of Professional Martial Artists) in October of 1998, and has been teaching group fitness classes ever since. Early on as an athlete in grade school and throughout high school, she loved competition and team environments so the energy from group classes has helped fill that gap and keep fitness as a top priority in her adult life as well. She continued to get other national certifications over the next several years which have helped provide a well rounded variety of fitness classes she can provide, including Resist-A-Ball (Stability Ball) Certification – November 2004, R.I.P.P.E.D. Instructor certification, October 2011-Present and AFAA (Athletics and Fitness Association of America)– Group Fitness Certification, November 2011-Present, but teaching kickboxing is her absolute favorite. In addition, she absolutely loves to watch the evolution of how strong and fit her students become.
