Aimee Kiesewetter

Trainer

Aimee began her journey in the gym at the age of 6 as a gymnast, eventually transitioning into competitive tumbling. After retiring from tumbling, she found herself missing the conditioning work at the gym. While attending ICC for her Physical Therapist Assistant Program, she taught gymnastics classes and later became a Physical Therapy Assistant, working in that field for 15 years.

In early 2023, Aimee joined Thrive and fell in love with their workout style and the idea of helping others achieve their health and wellness goals. This inspired her to pursue a Personal Trainer certification through the International Sports Science Association.

Married to her husband Jeremy for 24 years, they have two sons and enjoy jeeping, traveling, and supporting their sons in various sports. Aimee’s extensive experience in physical therapy makes her an invaluable member of the Thrive team.
