Where science meets strength
Chris Ross
Chris has been a personal trainer for more than 25 years and a Master Level Specialist in Muscle Activation Techniques® for 15. A lifelong Montana outdoorsman, he has kept clients skiing, golfing, and hiking for decades.
His approach starts with how you move. He finds the muscles that aren’t doing their share, restores them, and then builds strength that lasts, whether you’re preparing for surgery, recovering or training for your sport.
Kaitlyn Bell
Kaitlyn has spent 13 years helping athletes and everyday people make lasting changes in how they move, feel, and live. She is a personal trainer with a focus on POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, a condition that affects heart rate and circulation when you stand), and her goal is simple: help you feel like you again.
She blends behavior change, corrective exercise, applied neurology techniques, and nutrition principles into programs that meet you where you are. The aim isn’t to push you harder. It’s to help you feel better, move better, and build health that fits your life and your body.
Nicole Bressler, DO
Dr. Bressler has been an internal medicine physician for 12 years, with a background in personal training. She brings medical insight to the team, with a focus on preventive medicine for lifelong strength.
Her work covers obesity medicine, integrative medicine, nutrition, and exercise and longevity, helping connect what happens in the gym with what is happening in your health.
Dr. Bressler shares her health and wellness expertise with our team and members through consultations, personal training, education, and lifestyle coaching.

“Amazing little gem of a gym! … a great spot to get a solid workout in a meticulously clean and chill space. Chris is a fantastic owner who checks in with the members regularly. … Can’t recommend this gym enough!”
“Awesome little low key gym with modern clean equipment that’s perfect for beginners. Equipment is safety oriented. I am brand new to weight lifting and the owner is super chill, helped me learn how to use the machines as I didn’t know what I was doing. Very positive friendly environment. Would recommend for experienced lifters and especially newbies.”
“Chris helped me immensely. I have arthritis in my neck and it really bothered me while skiing. PT at ortho facility wasn’t helping. Last Fall Chris showed me how to strengthen my arms (on his equipment) to take pressure off of my neck/shoulder and it worked! I noticed a huge difference when skiing this season!”
“In an era where everything feels corporate, over-priced and over-hyped, Fluid Motion is a welcome relief. Always clean, rarely crowded, and with plenty of equipment and free weight options – Chris runs a fantastic, accessible, local-feeling gym with 24/7 access.”
“I had trouble walking well and even putting pants on some days because my lower back was in such bad shape and pain. … Eventually, I got to where I could use the gym and Chris was very good about instructing me on how to properly use the exercise equipment and not over-do it. Very grateful for his knowledgeable expertise and personalized care!”
“Recently, the owner redid the ENTIRE interior of the gym. New/updated equipment, new lighting, walls, front area. … something comparable to a resort gym. … If you’re looking for something quiet and personal, supportive and local, definitely recommend fluid motion.”
