Abby Reeves
Membership Specialist
My favorite Bible verse is Galatians 6:9, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
I was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee. I cheered for Premier Athletics for 14 years and competed at The Summit twice, and The Cheerleading Worlds three times. I coached at Premier Athletics during my senior year and absolutely loved getting to teach, grow, and be a positive influence for the littles.
After graduating, I attended the University of Tennessee Chattanooga and received my Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Nutrition. I’ve been a certified personal trainer and group fitness coach for over 3 years and feel as though it is a second passion of mine, right behind cheerleading.
In my free time, I love to work out, play with my pup Finn, and spend quality time laughing, making memories, and loving on my friends and family!
