Meet the professionals who are here to help members of Haley's Fit Fam:
Katie Mihelcic
Team Dietician, Certified Zumba Instructor
My name is Katie Mihelcic, and I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Licensed Dietitian (RDN, LD), and a certified Zumba instructor.
My journey to this profession has included obtaining a Bachelor’s of Science degree from Saint Francis University and a Bachelor’s of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I was matched to Cleveland Clinic for my Dietetic Internship, where I completed a year-long rigorous training in clinical nutrition before passing my boards. I am extremely passionate about clinical nutrition and how food impacts physiology. My professional interests include weight management, digestive diseases, and endocrinology.
When I’m not completely immersed in the latest nutrition research, I love to cook, stay active, and innovate dance choreography. I am thrilled to be a part of Haley’s excellent team!
Alaina Stipcak
Certified Barre Instructor
Hi, there! I'm Alaina, and I have been working out with Haley for the past 10 years.
Originally from Indiana, PA, I now live in Boston, MA with my wonderful husband, where I am currently a nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital and working on my master's degree in nursing.
My love of fitness and background in dance led me to obtain a barre certification in 2017, and I absolutely love sharing this passion with others. When I'm not working at the hospital or studying, I enjoy teaching at a boutique barre studio in my neighborhood and right here online for all of you!
Alexa Campbell from Power Train
HIIT/Strength Instructor
My name is Alexa Campbell and I've been working with Power Train Sports and Fitness for 10 years now! I am currently a performance director in the central PA region where I've had the opportunity to work in multiple facilities. I graduated from IUP with a BS in Exercise Science and where I also played on the softball team as a pitcher.
I'll be teaching one to two HIIT/strength style classes per month for Fit Fam members and look forward to working out with you!
Becky Vadala
Restore & Recover Physical Therapist
Hi fit fam! I am a physical therapist and have been working for 20 years at NovaCare Rehabilitation. I have my Master's of Physical Therapy from Duquesne University. I teach agility classes, shoulder stability, and conditioning programs for local student athletes.
Throughout my career, I have treated numerous athletes and know all too well the devastation that comes with injury. Luckily, many injuries can be prevented through stretching and recovery. This will be my role in Haley's fit family! I love working out and staying active with my husband, Ron and my two kids, Niko and Aleah.
I am excited to help everyone with their recovery needs! If you ever have a question, please feel free to reach out! I'm always happy to assist!
Vickie Shank
Cycling Instructor
Hi there, I am Vickie, and I have been a spin instructor for a little over 2 years after receiving my certifications through Mad Dog Athletic INC.
I love the outdoors and that is where you will find me when the weather cooperates. I love mountain biking, and spinning is great conditioning training for outdoor riding and great for building cardiovascular endurance. I started taking spin classes several years ago and realized instructing is something I would be interested in pursuing.
Although I'm originally from a little town called Cherry Tree, PA, I call the town of Indiana home. I love the community, the people in it, and I love to support it.
In fact, in addition to being passionate about fitness, I'm passionate about volunteering. I'm the treasurer on the board of Friends of Yellowcreek, an organization that raises money for the state park. I also serve as the race director for the Love of Life race, which benefits the Women's Imaging Center at the Indiana Regional Medical Center, as well as host an annual Pink Out spin classes during Breast Cancer Awareness Month for the local cause. When I'm not helping people mix up their workout routines through cycling, I work as a personal assistant for a financial advisor here in town.
I am thrilled that Haley ask me to be apart of her Fit Fam team and look forward to instructing for you all! Join me each month as I guide you through a special spin virtual class!
