Alex Kain

Owner / Head Coach / Personal Trainer

Alex Kain is the owner and started A1 Health and Fitness back in 2014. He has always been an athlete and competitor, however he discovered early in life he really enjoyed coaching. He began coaching in High School and has coached Diving, Gymnastics, Cheerleading, Nutrition, and Fitness the last 27 years. He has always enjoyed watching people succeed and lead healthy lives. Outside of the gym Alex loves travelling with his wife Jen and spending time with her and their 2 dogs.

Alex used to work at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa as an Exercise Physiologist in Cardiac Rehab. After about 2 years of working with clients who didn’t want to help themselves and wanted to take another pill to make their problems go away he realized he wanted to work with a more proactive community. This is what inspired him to open A1 Health and Fitness. He wanted to help people lose weight, get stronger, get off their medication, have their clothes fit better, gain confidence, and look better in the mirror.

When it comes to your health and fitness and wanting to make a change someone really should be all in. It takes more than just exercise, it takes more than just nutrition, for a lot of us it takes some help and accountability. Everyone needs a coach in some aspect of their life.

If you want to make a change and want to see success, then A1 has a proven method that has helped so many clients throughout the years. We will give you the right exercise to build strength, lift safely, the right nutrition to build muscle while losing fat at the same time, and the accountability to help when we are feeling defeated or want to give up. A lot of us have gone through the roller coaster of gaining weight, losing weight and then turning around to gain it all back again. A1 will help you break that cycle once and for all.

Jen Fullhart

Coach / Usa Weightlifting State & National Record Holder

Jen has been involved in sports her entire life, starting with ballet at the age of 4. Over the course of time, Jen dabbled in soccer, cheerleading, tennis, and gymnastics, eventually finding dance and track in high school. After high school, Jen began running distances to remain active, completing many 5ks, a half marathon, and multiple obstacle course races. In 2014, Jen found functional fitness and quickly fell in love with the community. Since then, Jen truly found a love for the barbell and began competing in Olympic Weightlifting. Outside of the gym, Jen loves to travel with her husband, Alex, and explore the world. Jen enjoys hiking, and can easily be peer pressured into climbing a mountain, or a canyon – just ask Alex! Jen enjoys spending time with hers and Alex’s dogs, their family and friends.

Jen began coaching at A1 Health & Fitness in 2015 because she had a passion for helping others reach their goals and tap into their full potential. Jen loves to see someone learn a new skill, improve their mobility or technique, become more consistent with showing up, or reach a goal with their nutrition. Jen says the best part of coaching is helping members of A1 have the best hour of their day! Jen’s biggest piece of advice related to health & fitness would be that consistency is key. It doesn’t matter if it’s consistency with your exercise, nutrition, sleep, work… consistency matters in everything you do! Show up for yourself, put in the hard work, and results will come.

At A1 Health & Fitness, we will hold you accountable, we will help you tap into your potential, and reach your goals as they relate to fitness and nutrition. You’ll see this transfer over to your everyday life in positive ways!

Matt Grasso

Coach

I am Matt Grasso, I am not a Wisconsin native and was actually born in Virgina. I joined A1 in 2016, and started coaching in 2018. I was also sent here by Chuck Norris to do great things!

I have been coaching at A1 for 7 years now and my experience started in HS with all kinds of sports. Since being a member at A1 I have been into long distance running, done some local competitions in the state and have even judged some competitions too. It has been the most fun I’ve had in the fitness world. Also did I mention Chuck Norris?

I wanted to become a coach at A1 because I love to help others reach their goals as I once did myself. I broke my left arm once, and my left wrist once. There are several movements that are very difficult for me, but with the help from Alex and other coaches at A1 I learned how to bypass these obstacles. Through this I have helped others bypass obstacles and not give up on their goals due to setbacks. The mind will give out before the body and I like helping others achieve things they didn’t think were possible.

If I could suggest one thing to anyone about their health and fitness it would be to pay attention to what and how you eat. Diet is 90% of the equation and the number one thing that people overlook. I would also suggest anyone to join A1 to get the support they need to succeed. The community is great, and you’ll achieve any goals you set. Plus I was sent here by Chuck Norris.

Tammy Michaels

Coach / Personal Trainer

Hi! I’m Tammy. I have survived raising triplets, who have become amazing little adults.
Being outside makes me happy – this comes from spending my life on our farm. I love lifting weights and trying to get stronger:)

I have been active my whole life. I was raised on a farm. I was a competing triathlete and runner then turned to functional fitness and lifting. I have a bachelor’s degree in exercise science, I am also a certified nutrition coach.

I have always had a passion for exercise. When I realized, people were always looking to me for help, I knew coaching would be great for me. I love watching people better themselves, and knowing that I am contributing to them leading healthier lifestyles is rewarding.

Consistency is key – just keep doing all the little things that will lead to long term success.

I would recommend A1 to anyone who is focused on reaching their goals. Whether that be losing weight, gaining muscle, learning a new skill, or just feeling better about yourself. You won’t find a community like A1 anywhere else and everyone who walks in the door finds success.

BJ Sauer

Coach / Personal Trainer / Cowboy / Stud Finder

Hello my name is BJ Sauer. I am happily married to a wonderful woman, have two sons and 3 cats. We love to travel, camp, and just be outdoors. I have been at A1 for about 2 years. I developed a passion for fitness as a kid watching 80’s action movies. I wanted to look like Arnold and Stallone. Sports were also a big part of my life as I played football, baseball, and wrestling. Hitting the gym was a way to get better at those although a lack of guidance led to mostly bench press and curls. After high school I joined the United States Marine Corps which further fueled my fitness quest. I discovered my love of bodybuilding with my best friend and continued to workout like that even after leaving the service. Eventually I got tired of the “gym bro” routine and found functional fitness at A1. In a short time I was hooked. I loved the variety of workouts, the accountability, and most importantly the nutrition.The fantastic coaches made me realize that I wanted to do that as well. I wanted to help people hit their goals and see results they didn’t think possible. Currently I have my CrossFit level 1 certificate and look forward to adding more credentials to my resume. Always remember, you are stronger than you realize!

Kevin Pretsch

Coach / Underrated Bad A$$

“I’ve always believed that if you aren’t getting better, you’re standing still. In my professional career, I’ve focused on Continuous Improvement and Training & Development, and I bring that same ‘1% better every day’ obsession to the floor at A1 Health and Fitness. 

My journey here started three years ago as a member. When I first walked through the doors, I was overweight and out of shape, but I quickly discovered that a structured routine and healthy eating habits can transform anyone. I developed a deep appreciation for heavy barbell work, Olympic lifting and functional movement, eventually leading me to transition from the platform to the whiteboard. I officially joined the coaching team in December 2025 and will be completing my CrossFit Level 1 Certification in the coming months. 

While I love all aspects of Olympic lifting, I’m particularly passionate about the Clean and Jerk. If you’re looking to refine your technique or find more power in that lift, I’m your guy. 

I’ve seen firsthand how the A1 community changes lives. My wife, Kristi, is also a member and has loved the results she’s seen since joining. Our kids, Payton and Carter, are heavily involved in travel softball and baseball; they are beginning to see how strength training builds the foundation for their athletic futures, and I’m proud to lead by example. 

Whether I’m coaching a large group session or analyzing processes and systems, my goal is to help our community optimize their movement and build a foundation for long-term health. 

Let’s get to work—I’ll see you at the rig.”

Kinsley

Coach / Personal Trainer / Queen Bee meets Hummingbird... Squirrel?

My name is Kinsley! Fitness and nutrition are my highest priorities, but haven’t always been. As a past high-school athlete who has struggled with body image, proper nutrition, and self confidence, I have made it a goal of mine to help myself, and now others to see change! Moving and fueling my body has become the most important part of my day, and the one routine that makes my day 100% better. 

I played softball and volleyball (basketball and track for a few years)and currently coach girls Fast pitch for Campbellsport High school. Athletics will always be very important to me and continuing to move athletically beyond sports. I also believe that just like my players, I have the ability to impact each person’s life that I have the opportunity to coach, advise, and converse with!
