Get to know Cass

Cass discovered her passion for fitness as a high school sophomore, immersing herself in the gym's transformative power. Despite being a year-round volleyball player from 5th to 11th grade, the gym offered a unique sanctuary for personal growth, self-love, and self-discipline. Embracing her innate competitiveness, she shifted her focus to self-improvement, competing with herself rather than others.

Navigating the intimidating atmosphere of big, public gyms, Cass felt the weight of judgment. However, her high school sweetheart, now her husband, encouraged her to persist. Overcoming insecurities, she delved into studying exercise, honing her program creation skills, and perfecting form. While she didn't fit the conventional mold, her dedication paved the way for a lifelong love affair with movement.

Her journey led her to Western Michigan University, where she earned her Exercise Science degree. During college, she immersed herself in the fitness world, becoming a personal trainer in her freshman year. Continuously embracing personal training and group fitness, she earned various certifications, evolving into a beacon of support for others' journeys.

Dreaming since her initial gym experience, Cass envisioned a haven for women—a space radiating strength, confidence, and a sense of belonging. Armed with her Exercise Science degree and multiple certifications, she turned her dream into reality with The Babe Cave Boutique Fitness Studio. Now, she fulfills her lifelong aspiration, fostering an environment where women support each other, thrive in health and happiness, and learn to move safely.
