Tina Ferringer, CEO
Owner of F & H Fitness Studio
Why did you become a trainer? Ever since I was little I wanted to help. At first, I wanted to help animals as a small child and become a veterinarian, then as I got older I wanted to help kids and become a PE teacher, then my senior year of college I started interning at a personal training studio and realized I could have a huge impact through fitness and health as a personal trainer. It means everything to help people see their potential, make an impact, and help others.
What can people expect from your classes or training sessions? High energy, inspiration, motivation with a side of twerking and FUN!
What do you do when you aren’t instructing at F & H Fitness Studio? I love to spend time with my husband Shawn and two kids. We love to snow machine, adventure, and just chill around the house. We are a pretty low-key family.
I am also a volleyball coach and love helping young athletes reach their potential and learn valuable life lessons.
What are your credentials? Certifications, awards, etc…
Alaska Top 40 under 40, Achievement in Business Award in Anchorage, multiple best gym and best personal trainer in Fairbanks Awards. The most valued achievement has been to help raise over $150,000 for local causes and non-profits.

Tricia Jones
Social Media and Marketing Manager
Fairbanks
Why did you become an instructor? I started instructing at F & H because I loved the classes and the accepting, healing vibes. I transitioned to marketing for F & H because I wanted to help portray those same vibes on their social media and website.
What do you do when you aren’t working at F & H Fitness Studio? Hang out with my family, run my own marketing business, enjoy the outdoors and travel.

Gwen Swanson, CPT
Personal Trainer
Anchorage
Gwen discovered fitness and its benefits in 2013, but it wasn’t until 2016 that she realized she wanted to share these benefits with others. She decided to get her Group Certification and began teaching indoor cycling classes.
With four years of instructing under her belt, she felt it was time to expand her wheelhouse. She added a Barre certification to her resume. This is when Cardio Sculpt was born! She designed a dynamic, full-body workout class. The freedom to create and design these classes ignited a different light in Gwen that led her to want more from her health and fitness career. In 2021 Gwen earned her National Academy of Sports Medicine Personal Trainer Certificate. Designing creative, effective workouts for her clients brings Gwen so much joy. She is eager to help others become their happiest, healthiest, strongest selves.
