Hi! I’m Hayley—born and raised in Seattle and proud to call this community home. I first became part of FUELhouse as a founding member when the doors opened in 2015. In March 2020, I officially joined the coaching team, inspired by my own experience navigating movement through pregnancy and postpartum. That journey led me to leave my full-time desk job and follow my passion for coaching.
After the birth of my daughter, Nora in 2019, I became a certified Pre- and Postnatal Coaching Specialist through Girls Gone Strong (GGS). That training deepened my understanding of the changes a woman’s body goes through during pregnancy and postpartum, and it fueled my desire to help people—of all stages and backgrounds—move with confidence, safety, and strength.
In November 2024, my husband Judd and I became the proud owners of FUELhouse. We’re honored to carry forward the incredible community Molly built, and we're committed to growing it with heart and intention.
While I’ve recently stepped back from a regular class schedule, you’ll still see me subbing when I can and staying closely connected to our members—whether you’re just checking us out for the first time or have been with us for years.

Hello! I’m Brian and I was born & raised in Salt Lake City. You may know me as Coach “B” & the General Manager at FUELHouse, but what I really do is help individuals understand and improve their mind & body through strength training. I first started training with kettlebells back in 2014 when I decided it was time to take my health more seriously. My learning began by way of a DVD purchased online, but things really took off for me after recognizing I needed some guidance. That is when I stumbled upon a StrongFirst Instructor (Coach Jeff Sokol) who introduced me to HardStyle training. Working with a coach helped me acquire the strength, safety standards, and techniques that fueled my progress. I fell in love with the process and the idea that strength is a skill! I moved from UT to WA the summer of 2018 and began my coaching career in the fall. Since then I have earned my SFG I Kettlbell Instructor & SFL Barbell Instructor Certifications with more to come. I’d love to be your guide to take your strength to the next level.
WHY train with me?
I am going to take the time to get to know you and create a plan that will work for you. I'll stick with you and modify our plan over time to help you achieve your goals.
I am going to be a pillar for motivation & encouragement so that you can always give it your best, no matter where you're at that day.
I didn't begin strength training until I was in my mid-twenties, so I understand the vulnerability required to start from square one. I know how to take it to the next level after we've mastered the basics. I will hold space for you at all times.
I have the ability to help you understand the strength you didn't know you had!

Kari is our in house Canadian if you have somehow missed that data point. There is not a class that goes by that there is not at least a mention of that. Growing up in Vancouver, sports were always apart of Kari's life. When finally going off to college it only seemed fitting that Human Kinetics would be her chosen educational path at the University of British Columbia. Kari found her way down to Seattle by means of her husband Adam (also known as Gary, which can really confuse people).
She is an outdoor enthusiast, but not in the PNW kind of way. She loves snowboarding back home, as well as spending time paddle boarding nearby lakes or vacationing to the ocean to swim and surf.
She has now been in the fitness world for over 10 years! With numerous certifications to her name, she found her place at Fuelhouse by joining the StrongFirst ranks as a kettlebell instructor. Kari believes exercise is a pertinent part of daily living and routine, but it HAS to be fun, or else why do it. Personal Training is also another way she fills her days, from 1:1 sessions to small groups, she can help you keep in a routine, rehabilitate from injury, learn all the while enjoying yourself with her quick wit and energy!

Hailing from three generations of Seattle lineage, Vincent's pursuit of excellence in health and fitness began with those first few steps under the barbell at the ambitious age of 14. Like so many others, Vincent saw the way fitness brought people together. Coaching provided Vincent with an outlet to fulfill his passion for helping others and creating meaningful connections, eventually landing him at FuelHouses’ huge doors in 2022.
When Vincent's not swinging kettlebells you may find him in the kitchen trying nutritious meal prep recipes, out walking on the Burke-Gilman (probably barefoot), or tucked away with a book taking notes in the margins.
Forever a student of strength, Vincent’s next steps include continuing higher physical education, surpassing his limits, and helping others reach their full potential!

Patrick is a lifelong Washingtonian whose interest in group fitness began 20 years ago when he was dragged to a hot yoga class with his father. That humbling experience ignited a passion and started a long journey to find fun and effective styles of training.
This journey took on a whole new direction in 2015, when he was introduced to hard-style kettlebell training. He quickly signed up for his first certification as a means to learn more. It was during that certification that he decided he would leave the world of Excel spreadsheets to find something more fulfilling in the world of fitness. After being a member of Fuelhouse several years, he mustered the courage to leave the accounting profession in 2021 to join the Fuelhouse family to pursue his passion for fitness full-time.
In addition to his fascination in training and movement, you will find Patrick is long-winded about tea (and tisanes), comic books, video games, movies, and collectibles. He also enjoys hiking steep hills, kayaking on the sound... and still loves being humbled by a sweaty yoga class.

Julia's fascination with movement and its effects on the brain and body started at a young age. Growing up with scoliosis, she was introduced to different movement modalities and pretty quickly understood the importance of exercise and mindful movement. She got certified as a yoga instructor in 2017 soon after deciding she wanted to work with people in preventative care. She strongly believes that if people live an active life, that is the best preventative care they can gift themselves. Julia wanted to continue to teach others how to move their bodies in ways that encourage them to be curious, compassionate and strong so she decided to get certified as a strength trainer.
She recently left her tech job to pursue coaching full time because she loves getting to know people and pushing them to be the absolute best version of themselves. She loves how functional kettlebell training promotes longevity and is passionate about cross training kettlebells and yoga. She found Fuelhouse and immediately felt at home within the community.
Outside of coaching and teaching yoga, Julia loves to travel, spend time with her family, partner and dog, cycle and explore the outdoors. She moved to Seattle from the midwest seeking adventure and new experiences. She is a lifelong learner and appreciates any opportunity to grow or try something new.

I’m a certified coach with a deep love for movement, strength, and empowering others through fitness. I hold certifications in SFG I & II (StrongFirst), TRX, RRCA Running, DVRT Ultimate Sandbag, and I’m a Barefoot Training Specialist. I’m also currently working toward my Precision Nutrition Coaching certification to better support clients in and out of the gym.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve completed three marathons—including my favorite, the Paris Marathon—as well as countless half marathons, 10Ks, and 5Ks. I’ve also ridden STP and RSVP multiple times and competed in the Danskin triathlon.
My journey with FUELhouse started before it even opened, training with Molly and watching her achieve her SFG I certification. That sparked a dream in me to do the same—something I wasn’t sure was possible. But here I am, a StrongFirst Level II instructor, now working toward Elite status and maybe even the Iron Maiden one day.

When I started bringing friends to the gym I found I loved teaching others how to exercise efficiently. This made me pursue my first certification in personal training. After being a personal trainer for 1.5 years I decided to invest in myself with the ACE group training certification and applied to work at FUELhouse here in Seattle. I am hoping to gain experience here specifically with coaching groups and working on teamwork rather than just one-on-ones. When I am not in the gym I like to longboard during summer and snowboard during winter. When given the opportunity I love to surf but there are no good waves in Seattle.

I’ve been part of the FUELhouse community ever since my wife, Hayley, convinced me to join her for some “fun” holiday workouts—and she was right. 😏 I was born and raised on the Olympic Peninsula (Sequim) and have always had a connection to the gym, whether through sports or my love of lifting heavy things. During the COVID years, I discovered a passion for kettlebells, and it completely changed the way I train.
In November 2024, Hayley and I took on the adventure of a lifetime—we became the new owners of FUELhouse. While I keep a full-time job in sales, I help support the gym behind the scenes and stay involved in the community whenever I can. You’ll usually find me squeezing in a workout or chasing after one of our two daughters, Nora and Daisy.

Molly is the visionary behind FUELhouse Gym, which she brought to life in June 2015. With her leadership, she built the gym into a thriving, supportive community. After she and her husband, Stu, relocated to Walla Walla, they continued to manage FUELhouse from afar. Over time, they recognized that sustaining the community they had created required hands-on, in-person leadership. In November 2024, they passed the torch to Hayley and Judd Magwire. Today, Molly and Stu remain closely connected to FUELhouse, offering ongoing mentorship and support to the Magwire’s as the next generation of ownership leads the gym forward.
