Mary Riley, Charleston BLAST900 Manager & Instructor:

Mary Riley has been involved with fitness most of her life and has taken many connected paths that cumulated to the Manager/Fitness Instructor position for the BLAST900 Charleston location! She holds a BS degree in HPER (Health, Physical Education and Recreation) from Springfield College, Springfield, Massachusetts. Mary went on to earn certifications as a Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor while she raised her family in Connecticut. It was in Connecticut where Mary became accomplished in offering club members and her clients group fitness classes based on a combination of weight training and cardio workouts. Out of this very successful concept, she developed her own fitness business called Strip Down Fit. It not only combined a drop or strip down method of weight training, but added high-intensity intervals of cardio and plyometrics. She moved her business to Cleveland, Ohio where after just 6 months, had a client base of over 50 men and women spread out over many fitness clubs, recreation centers and private homes. Mary's knowledge of health and nutrition led her to conduct nutrition seminars throughout the Cleveland area. Mary relocated to Charleston, SC in the summer of 2011 to be near her family. Her dream came true to become involved with and to manage BLAST900 Charleston! She is passionate about her life's work and feels blessed to be able to help and motivate people to lead healthier and fit lives!

Mary Ann Stisher, BLAST900 Team Member & Instructor:

Mary Ann Stisher began her fitness career in Charleston almost 10 years. With a short stint in Corporate America, using her degree in Corporate Communications from the College of Charleston, she quickly discovered that working behind a desk was not her cup of tea! She is an ISFTA-certified Personal Trainer, and is also certified in Pilates and Core Barre through Peak and Stott. When she is not training clients inside, she takes fitness to the water on Stand Up Paddle Boards. "I love to watch people change inside and out when they discover how to eat properly and to exercise. Its the best feeling in the world when clients' energy levels increase, and you see them regain confidence through their new bodies." Mary Ann looks forward to challenging her BLAST900 clients with her stability-focused knowledge!

Melody "Missy" Tuttle: BLAST900 Team Member & Instructor:

Melody "Missy" Tuttle was the 7-year old whose parents bought her a pull-up bar, and built a balance beam in the living room. In addition to earning a BA in modern dance, which complemented her 18 years of classical Ballet training, Missy is a certified Pilate's instructor with 12 years experience, and holds many other fitness designations. Missy prefers mud runs to 10K's, and enjoys helping clients of all levels and ages meet their goals–within their time constraints. Add to this schedule, being the mother of two young boys, there's no wonder why you'll hear Missy say: "I get busy!"
