He resides in Danville with his wife, Kelly, his daughters, Kamryn and Kylie, and their newest addition to the family, a Yorkiepoo named Utley.
Farrah Mock
Farrah is a nurse and mom of 3 who became passionate about women’s health and training while on her own fertility journey. She started with her Level 1 CrossFit certification to coach classes and clients, and continued her education with 2 additional women-focused perinatal fitness certifications.

"In 2016 I suffered a serious rotator cuff tear and ruptured biceps tendon which required surgery. As soon as I was out of a sling I asked Hide for help in rebuilding the strength and functionality in my right arm and to help achieve my long standing goal of becoming a certified Strongfirst SFG kettlebell instructor.
Hide was instrumental in helping me rebuild my right arm/shoulder in record time. He also helped get me ready for the challenging certification by correcting my "too numerous to count" form issues.
As a result of Hide's guidance and knowledge, I was able pass the certification. He is an outstanding instructor and can help anyone in achieving their fitness goals."

“I’ve been Michelle’s personal training client for the last 6 months and it has been an incredibly positive experience. Recovering from knee surgery I really wanted to regain my strength and mobility safely. Michelle has surpassed all of my expectations. I am feeling so much stronger and more flexible and my knee feels great!. Michelle is always making sure I have proper body alignment keeping me safe from injury. She focuses my program on all of my goals. I am very happy with where Michelle has gotten me and feel confident I am close to being able to do almost anything now! Thank you Michelle!!”

“I have been a member of Resurrection Movement Studio since February 2015. I have been involved in group fitness classes, as well as personal training sessions. Each of the classes offered has something unique for every individual.
I have been very fortunate to work with a majority of the trainers at RMS, with each one having a different approach to their training style. Rawle helps to push and challenge me to reach my goals and strive for new ones. He makes working out fun too.
I have been impressed with Rawle’s passion to help others, his knowledge, and his ability to adapt the workouts to meet the needs of his clients. Through Rawle’s and the other trainers’ dedication and passion, I have been able to work through physical injuries, only to make myself physically and mentally stronger.”
