Meet Hollie –Instructor
Hi! 👋🏼 I’m Hollie— instructor at Level Up Fitness, certified in both group and personal training. I also juggle life outside the gym as a wife, a mom to three ridiculously busy kids, and work as an HR Onboarding Partner with G&C Foods.
My passion is helping people transform through fitness—whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just taking your very first step toward prioritizing your health. I’ve personally struggled with weight and body image my entire life, experiencing it all: heavier seasons, fit phases, and even the “skinny-fat” stage. Those experiences shaped how I coach today.
Through it all, I’ve learned that being healthy and strong matters far more than a number on the scale or how your body looks. That’s what I teach—learning to love your body for what it can do, not just how it appears. When self-love comes first, the results always follow.
If you’re looking for a coach and community who truly understand the ups and downs of the fitness journey and who is committed to helping you build real strength and confidence, I’d love to welcome you to join us at Level Up Fitness! Check out our calendar for all the classes I offer!

Meet Aimee May – Instructor
Hello! I’m Aimee May, proud Fulton resident, mom to three amazing young adults, and a passionate advocate for lasting lifestyle change. My fitness journey began years ago in the United States Army, where I served as a combat veteran. After my military service, I was honored to serve my community for 21 years as a Police Officer with a local agency, and now I work as a Forensic Interviewer for the Child Advocacy Center.
Like so many, my journey has had its ups and downs. After retiring in 2018, the pandemic hit—and with it, I discovered a new love for Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. The pounds crept on, and soon I was struggling with self-esteem, feeling frustrated, self-conscious, tired, and in pain. I genuinely disliked who I had become and avoided looking in the mirror.
Everything changed when I found a Facebook post about Level Up Fitness (formerly Next Level Fitness). In 2021, I attended my first class. I made a promise to myself: this wouldn’t be another short-term “diet”—it would be a true lifestyle change. That mindset helped me navigate the ups, downs, and plateaus that come with any transformation.
Nearly four years later and forty pounds lighter, I am happier, healthier, and stronger than ever. My journey isn’t just about weight loss, but about reclaiming my confidence and vitality—and helping others do the same.
If you’re looking for real support, a community that understands life’s challenges, and a coach who’s been there, I’d love to help you start your own transformation at Level Up Fitness in Fulton, NY!
Laura Perwitz – Instructor
Hello! I’m Laura Perwitz. I live in Fulton, NY with my cat, Mineo! I’m currently a Regional Manager for Housing Visions, where I travel across New York State to ensure our properties are running smoothly and to help low-income families secure affordable housing—a perfect fit for my lifelong passion to help others.
My Fitness Journey
For many years, my relationship with fitness was on-again, off-again. I struggled with my weight, often felt unhappy, and found it hard to care about my health. I wanted to work out, but faced bullying and lacked support. Everything changed in 2019, when I decided I needed a real, lasting lifestyle change—not another quick-fix diet.
In September 2020, I kept seeing posts about Level Up Fitness (formerly Next Level Fitness) and, despite my hesitations from past experiences, I reached out with a ton of questions. The very next day, I showed up for my first class—and I’ve been hooked ever since. With the support of Level Up Fitness, I’ve lost 128 pounds, developed healthier eating habits, and discovered a true love for fitness.
My journey inspired me to help others who share the same doubts and struggles I once did. I became a Certified Personal Trainer in 2024 and have learned so much more about fitness, health, and motivation. My mindset has shifted from “I can’t do this” to “I can and WILL do this”—and I love helping others make that same shift.
Running & New Adventures
Running is a new passion for me. I started running races solo, but now I have a whole group of friends to run 5Ks with! Since 2021, I’ve run consistently, tackled longer distances including a half marathon and a full marathon. I couldn’t do it without the encouragement of my fitfam at Level Up Fitness.
What I Teach:
Monday 6pm: WOD- A class filled with weight and endurance training.
Saturday 8am: Sanity Session- A low impact class that you can take up or down as you please! Routines you can sing along and have a great time to.
