We are so excited to welcome Maribeth Gutshall back to the Center for Hope and Healing as she helps us continue creating opportunities for healing through movement, connection, and wellness. Maribeth brings such a supportive, encouraging energy and a genuine passion for helping others reconnect with their strength — both physically and emotionally.

Fitness has been Maribeth’s passion for more than 15 years. Having survived her own medical trauma, she deeply understands how important movement and staying active can be in the healing process. As a group fitness and personal trainer, she loves motivating others to push past limitations, build confidence, and move toward healthier, more empowered lives. Combat/Kickboxing is one of her favorite classes to teach because of the strength, stress release, and confidence it can help build in others.

Outside of the gym, Maribeth loves staying active, enjoying beach days, loving on dogs, and embracing all things Disney.

Join us for Combat Fitness — a beginner-friendly weekly class designed to improve both physical and emotional wellness through guided movement, cardio, strength building, and healthy stress release techniques inspired by combat-style fitness training. This class is not about aggression — it is about empowerment, resilience, confidence, and reconnecting the mind and body in a safe, trauma-informed environment.

Research continues to show the strong connection between aerobic movement and improvements in depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, stress management, confidence, and overall mental health. Whether you are looking to reduce stress, reconnect with your body, gain confidence, or simply take one healthy step forward, this class welcomes you exactly as you are.
