Our Team Kelly Barnes Kelly was raised in Chateaugay, NY where she excelled at soccer, basketball, and softball. She played Division I NJCAA soccer and basketball at Mater Dei College and finished her collegiate basketball career at SUNY Utica. She worked for several years as an Adventure Based Counselor, utilizing team building skills and high and low ropes courses with at-risk adolescents. That experience sparked her interest in Sports Psychology, connecting her therapy experience with her love of sports. Kelly came to Arizona to pursue her graduate degree at ASU in Kinesiology/Sports Psychology. She was introduced to exercise physiology while interning at the Kronos Institute of Longevity and found that her passion for exercise physiology is the perfect blend with sports psychology. Kelly has an extensive clinical background. She has completed research on how exercise affects cognitive function across the lifespan, published research on combating obesity and diabetes with exercise in children on the Gila Indian Reservation, and spent three years as the executive director and exercise physiologist at an elite training facility. Kelly taught Sport Psychology at Arizona State University in the Professional Golf Management Program and is currently teaching Fitness and Nutrition at Mesa Community College. From teaching to coaching elite athletes and working with clients to break through that next weight loss plateau, Kelly's methods have brought significant success for her students and clients. She believes that addressing the psychological component coupled with helping people set proper goals moves people to success. Kelly completed Ironman Arizona and is a two-time finisher of Ironman Lake Placid. She is also learning to play the ukulele in her spare time.
