GET TO KNOW OUR TRAINERS

LUKE SCHIHL

My name is Luke Schihl and I serve here at the Cadillac YMCA as Fitness Coordinator, Personal Trainer, Group Exercise Instructor, & Senior Fit Instructor. I train with folks from ages 14-94 and everywhere in between! My training style is diverse, client based, and catered to the goals of each individual client. I always aim to lecture far less, listen way more, and keep client feedback as the basis for every element of training. As a Massage Therapist of 23 years, I aspire to help clients integrate an approach that connects the mind, body, and spirit. Whether goals are performance based, health based, or aesthetic based, our best effort will be made to make you feel at home while you pursue them. Let me lean on your machine while you chase your dreams!

ROCKY STOLL

Hello my name is Rocky! I have been a certified personal trainer for a year and a half, I have been active and in the gym for over 5 years. My personal style of training and something that has always been my goal is functional training. I don’t want to just have muscle, I want to be able to use it, I am active all the way from CrossFit competitions to running races. My experience with all of that has lead me down many different paths in the training world. I try to tailor plans and workouts to my clients needs to work towards a balanced, functional body. I have worked with people rehabbing injuries, to weight loss, even just bringing more passion to people just starting their fitness journeys. My main goal is to be healthy first and have fun while doing so, it’s not only possible but it’s achievable and I am more than happy to share my path, my knowledge and my passion for fun and fitness with you!!


DEB SIMON

Hi! I’m Deb Simon and I’ve been leading group exercise classes for the past 15 years. I currently instruct spin (cycling) classes and have just recently begun personal training, which I’m very excited about. As a trainer, my main goal is for you to feel welcome and comfortable! At the Y, we recognize everyone is on their own unique fitness journey and we honor that for you. I work hard to create a personal training experience that is judgement free, purposeful, and relevant to the journey you are on. One of my favorite quotes is:

“And I said to my body softly, ‘I want to be your friend.’ It took a long breath and replied, ‘I have been waiting my whole life for this.” - Nayyirah Waheed

My hope is that training with me will help you build body confidence as you gain strength, mobility, and flexibility. On a personal note, I won “Best Sense of Humor” in high school, so that should also tell you quite a bit about me and my style. 🙂 I look forward to training with you!


JILLIAN BREWER

Hi, I’m Jillian, a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor!

Over the past four years, I’ve been on a transformative journey—one that led to a 100-pound weight loss and a complete lifestyle change. Along the way, I fell in love with strength training, self-growth, and the power of movement. That passion inspired me to earn my certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and pursue my dream of helping others feel strong, confident, and capable—in and out of the gym.

I’m a 36-year-old mom of two energetic boys and a youth wrestling coach, so I know firsthand how busy life can be. My mission is to help people find balance, joy, and confidence through fitness, without the pressure of perfection.

Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your fitness to the next level, I’m here to support you, challenge you, and cheer you on every step of the way. Let’s have some fun and get stronger—together.
