Meet Celae Lynn: MINT’s Newest Full-Time Personal Trainer

Like Share Widget

June 13, 2025 by mint-sk

We’re excited to welcome Celae Lynn, our newest full-time personal trainer.

Celae’s path to personal training is anything but ordinary — and that’s what makes her such an extraordinary addition to our community. A former athlete living with a neurological condition, Celae learned early on that the journey to wellness isn’t always linear, and it’s never one-size-fits-all. Her experience navigating her own body’s unique needs fueled a passion to help others do the same — with empathy, patience, and purpose.

With a background in physical therapy and published research on rare neuromuscular and neurological disorders, Celae brings more than your average rep-and-set knowledge to the gym floor. She brings depth. She brings science. She brings lived experience. And she’s ready to support each client as a whole person — not just a physical body.

Celae’s training philosophy is rooted in meeting people exactly where they are, physically, emotionally, and mentally. Whether you’re looking to build strength, move with less pain, return to exercise after injury, or simply feel more at home in your body, Celae creates customized, sustainable programs that prioritize long-term well-being over quick fixes.

At MINT, we believe in redefining what it means to be “fit” — and Celae embodies that spirit beautifully. For her, fitness isn’t just about aesthetics or personal bests. It’s about feeling strong, safe, and empowered in your own body. It’s about building a support system, finding joy in movement, and showing up for yourself — again and again.

Our GATEWAY door lock system is now in effect!

Like Share Widget

June 2, 2025 by mint-sk

As of June 2, our new Gateway security system has launched! This means the doors are locked and members gain access via face ID and/or smartphone app.

FAQ’s:

What if I walk up to the door and it doesn’t open automatically?

    • If you have a form on file, the door should open, if it doesn’t there may be a tech glitch.
    • If you haven’t’ completed it, please do ASAP at the front desk
    • In either case, we can buzz you in, but for security and logistical reasons, buzz-in’s cannot be permanent

What info are you collecting, and is it secure?

    • Your information will never be sold or shared
    • We are not collecting any more info than we’ve ever required for memberships, going back to opening day in 2006; name, email, agreeing to a few transparent terms, and a photograph.
    • Our chosen security company offers the most robust modern digital security available, serving over 30 million users and over 55,000 commercial and government partners globally. They are a vetted, reputable partner of mindbodyonline, another global organization, and the software we have been using for over 10 years for member and billing information.

Do I checkin at the front desk also, like before?

    • The Gateway system checks you in automatically; no need to checkin!

Will front desk attendance be decreased due to automated entrance?

    • Front desk staffing and attendance does not change at all; as always expect a friendly helpful experience
    • The majority of members have completed the quick access form and acknowledged the welcome message; your access should be seamless when you walk up to our doors. If you haven’t completed your form, or there’s a hiccup with access (it is technology after all), no worries, we can buzz you in, at which point completing your access form is required.

We will be working through system tweaks over the coming weeks; please be aware that for security and general logistical reasons, ‘buzzing-in’ cannot be permanent, everyone must complete the form.

Member convenience and satisfaction are our obsessions. This new Gateway system ensures MINT remains a safe and secure environment for members and staff.

We’ve been working on, and communicating about, this new system since last fall. After many months of delays beyond our control, we are excited about finally launching this additional member benefit. We appreciate your patience as we work together to make this a success.
