Kyle Moutinho
Hi everyone! My name is Kyle Moutinho, and I’m excited to be joining the Meriden YMCA as a personal trainer and spin instructor.
I’ve been taking spin classes for the past three years, and I’ve truly fallen in love with the energy, motivation, and sense of community they provide. My goal is to create classes that are fun, upbeat, and challenging while helping you become the best version of yourself.
Growing up, I was always involved in sports, but I discovered my true passion for fitness through endurance training. In my free time, I enjoy running marathons and staying active. I can’t wait to share that passion with all of you and help you reach your fitness goals.
