Your Hitsona, Bardstown Coaches
Holly Evans
Holly Evans is the owner of Hitsona Bardstown. Holly enjoys coaching sessions and looking after the members of our community. Her favorite sessions to coach are partner sessions, they are super fun and energetic. Her favorite exercise is anything to do with squats.
Halie Koch
My favorite exercise is overhead switch rows! This exercise really works your arms with the added benefit of moving your legs as well. I love cardio core and HIIT sessions that push members to do their best and stay moving. A fun fact about me is that I love anything chocolate (besides mint chocolate).
Amber Smith
My favorite exercise is curtsy squats! Definitely love the burn you get in the legs and butt. I absolutely love Core with cards and any HIIT session that includes squat exercises, which is all of them 😁 Fun fact about me is I love purple skittles and anything cinnamon.

FAQs
What makes your Hitsona Bardstown different to a gym?
Involved owner-operators
Holly Evans our Hitsona Bardstown owner and head coach, realized that reluctant exercisers need more than just a gym and her passion for providing non-gym-goers a safe place to get fit encouraged her to bring a Hitsona studio to Bardstown, Kentucky, having been a member of our sister studio in Elizabethtown. Holly decided to join together and open a studio in Bardstown. Our Hitsona coaches are always happy to help new members figure out their nutritional and fitness needs and with a play area for children in the studio, busy parents are welcome to bring the little ones along for the quick 25 minute Hitsona session.

How is attending your Hitsona Bardstown studio vs. home or gym workout different?
While you can see a lot of benefits from a home workout with the right exercise plan, you miss out on the high levels of support that a studio environment could afford you. For example, unless you invest in a home trainer, you won’t have somebody continuously motivating you and offering feedback on your technique. This will also deprive you of the group setting that makes Hitsona Bardstown workouts so popular and effective among our members. Sometimes going to a busy gym can also make you feel isolated as it lacks a community atmosphere, can be intimidating especially for the reluctant exerciser.
Our fitness studio also lets you access patented HIT machines which make your workouts even better in less than half an hour. If you stick with a home class, you might be exercising for longer while receiving fewer benefits. For this reason alone, it’s definitely worth making the journey to your Hitsona Bardstown studio which prides itself on being unlike any other gym. You will have lots of fun unlike the work out alone at home. Home workouts are useful for some, but a professional studio can help you to maximize your potential and get the you the best results helping you feel healthy and happy.
