Carrie Merritt: Exercise Specialist.  After graduating from the University of Connecticut with a degree in Marketing and working in the corporate world, Carrie realized her passion was teaching.  Although her usual clientele is "pint sized", she is eager to use her teaching skills to help the clients at Exodus reach their fitness or performance goals.  Carrie's training philosophy is the same that she promotes in her kindergarten class: "Work hard and have fun while doing it!"  After a collegiate softball carreer, Carrie became a competitive triathlete.  You will often find her tapping on her bike pedals or trying to stay afloat in the water.  Exodus Integrated Wellness has become an integral part of Carrie's life.  To share the passion of fitness and wellness with the clients is a source of pleasure in Carrie's day.  A perfect day for Carrie is two workouts, a cup of coffee and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Brian Wright: Exercise Specialist/Bootycamp Instructor. I have spent almost ALL of my years training by myself....no partner, no mentor, no trainer......just me, and my desire to overcome challenge. I was approached in the weight room of a gym I was working out in recently, and asked what I was training for and I answered, "the Sport of Life".
I always refer my choice of lifestyle to others by that simple statement..."I don't want to be 38!".
I have so many reasons to appreciate the gift that I have been given.....to think, breathe, emote, and move..... and realize that the only way to selflessly consume these wonderful gifts for as long as possible, is to put back what I am taking. Defy age, defy illness,  and do what makes me feel good and whole. I want to enjoy my family, my wife and children, as well as set an example for them to know that we are given is a gift and we must do our best to respect and maintain what we have so we can continue to think, breathe, emote, move, and love!
I suppose I am an avid fan of testing my body and mind......thinking that if another human being is capable of such greatness, and limitless possibilities, I am capable as well. With this understanding, I obviously needed to prepare myself for failure upon countless attempts. I knew that I wouldn't stop until I was able to achieve my goal at hand...... and with that...I knew I needed enough muscle on my body to bounce off of failure, and not just break.
So here I am bouncing off of my failures, and hoping to share with others the wisdom that I have been fortunate enough to walk away from, and pass along to others to consume....... because it isnt considered wisdom, unless it is shared, and digested by others for their own interpretation.....
