Terri Carter has over 40 years in the Fitness Industry.

She has owned and operated her own Fitness Center as well as three Personal Training studios. She has also served as an industry consultant for over 20 years, and has served on dozens of wellness committees in the Central Texas Area.

She is a Master Certified Personal Trainer specialized in rehabilitation and complicated post injury and disease recovery. Her passion for serving people is evident in her energy and genuine interest in the mental, physical, and spiritual well-being of every client and member she encounters.

She has a comprehensive knowledge of the health and wellness industry, and she has even designed a Parkinson’s Boxing Program to help individuals with the disease move past physical restrictions. She is dedicated to helping others breakdown their barriers and find a better way of living. She brings a wealth of knowledge that can be found nowhere else.

She is also the proud mom of a special needs son, Dillion. As well as a daughter, Devon, a bonus son Heath, and daughter Heather.

Before she became the Personal Training Director, Danielle Raesz was a familiar face known around the gym as “The Ninja.” She has been a competitive Ninja athlete for two years (including back-to-back years as state champion) before an injury in late 2021 forced her to take a temporary step back.

She comes to us with not only a ninja background, but an impressive athletic resume as a collegiate soccer player and track runner, and years in the fitness industry as a NASM certified Personal Trainer, which is why she was chosen to be the Level Up Performance Director.

She loves getting to pour into the adults and student athletes in our community through T3he Gym! She is passionate about health because she knows that it is our biggest asset- it is the one thing that we cannot afford to lose if we want to live a purpose-filled, quality life.

She has a built a beautiful life with her health-focused husband Jason, a Chiropractor, and their two amazing daughters, Kaylie and Adalyn. When she’s not in the gym (which is rare) she loves to eat Mexican food, watch sports, and dance to music videos with her girls.

Amanda Carruth has been a familiar face known around the gym since 2013. After her an her family moved to this area, finding a fitness community was very important next step for her. She doesn’t quite remember how she found T3 but she does remember feeling so grateful that she found a place to call home. It has been a place where she has made fantastic friends and grown in the fitness space.

Through the encouragement of T3 leadership, she got certified in her first Les Mills programing in 2014. But that was only the beginning of her adventure. In October 2015, Amanda was certified in BodyPump and the fun hasn’t stopped since. She has gone on to be be certified in several other programs, and in recent years has moved into the role of GF Director. She loves Group Fitness and you need only to have a brief conversation with her to see that.

Tiara Dickson has been the Kidzone Director for 5+ years now and loves every minute of it. However, her history with the gym goes far beyond her time as the Director. She actually joined the Kidzone Team years earlier because of her passion for working with kids, but gradually has become a fixture in Kidzone.

Her mission for Kidzone is that kids feel excited, safe, and loved when they cross the threshold. Additionally, she wants parents to feel welcome and secure that their children are being well cared for while they workout.

She is currently also pursuing a Degree in Nursing and a Minor in Psychology at UMHB. She has dedicated her life to caring for others, and we are truly lucky to have her on our team.

When she isn’t in Kidzone, Tiara enjoys going to High Fitness classes, reading a good book, and some Sweet Roll ice cream. Make sure you stop by and tell her hi.
