Who is Heather?
Heather Herbeck is the owner and head trainer of Fitness & Sport Evolution. With 20+ years in the Fitness and Sport performance business, both as an athlete and trainer/coach, Heather has a wealth of knowledge to motivate and help the beginner exerciser through professional athlete.
Heather has always been passionate about being the best athlete she can be and promoting health in her lifestyle. Her fitness/sport background really took off when she was offered a basketball scholarship at a private 2-year college in her hometown. She declined the scholarship to pursue her desire for running and fitness. Through her college years, studying Exercise Science, she trained hard in the gym and competed in track. Her knowledge base with fitness, sport and movement grew with her experience working as an assistant in the athletic training room and physical therapy clinics in California and Minnesota.
Upon graduating, Heather returned home to MN and continued her fitness experience as a personal trainer and eventually as the fitness director of a large YMCA. Here she ran the personal training, fitness and aerobic department.
In 2003, Heather and her husband moved to the West Coast. After 8 years of training out of a local gym, Heather took the step and started her own business - Fitness and Sport Evolution (2013).
Heather continues to train clients full-time and personally train herself in mt. biking, whitewater kayaking and weight lifting.

Who is Maria?
Maria Kallman {pronounced "Mariah"} lives for adventure. She is very active in many sports, but her foundation of movement and competition has been in gymnastics and slalom kayaking. She spent her junior and college years racing in the world cup circuit with the National U.S. Slalom Team.
Due to unfortunate injuries, she moved away from competition, which then allowed Maria to explore the adventures of whitewater kayaking and skiing in order to connect with nature, for the camaraderie and the adrenaline.
Maria will always have that love of adventure and nature ... but, she turned her attention to going to school to become a physicians assistant. She has worked for over 9 years as a PA in emergency medicine.
Maria has always been passionate about health and movement ... but, more injuries forced her to focus her training on building strength so that she could continue the activities that she loved. This is where Maria caught "the bug" for health, fitness and nutrition.
Maria is a NASM certified personal trainer/coach. She brings SO much to Fitness & Sport Evolution. Her background in sports, her years of being coached, her thorough background in medicine AND her love of building strength ALL make her a great fit for our FSE clients and a team member that FSE is very proud to have.
Mariah says, "I came to the realization that to excel at outdoor sports, dedicating time for strength training is crucial, and everyone can benefit immensely from strength training: for injury prevention and healing, encouraging healthy metabolism, body composition, mental health, self-efficacy, bone density, and athletic performance."
