Meet the Team

Madelyn Hallowell

Owner, ISSA-CPT, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Nutrition, Bodybuilding, Pilates

  • Hey my name is Madelyn! I started Ignite Fitness in October of 2022 and I've been in love with it ever since! Creating a fun, healthy, encouraging, and inspiring atmosphere is what I'm all about and I hope you get to enjoy it with me!

    Fun facts about me: I'm actually from Canada, I've been to 30 states including Hawaii and Alaska, I'm a published author, I'm double jointed in both thumbs and I've also been bungee jumping! Some favorite hobbies include any sport, mainly volleyball, board games, random road trips, and drawing. I love watching and playing hockey and my team is the Toronto Maple Leafs. I enjoy getting to know people and trying new things and can also usually find something funny in just about anything! 

    I got into weight training in high school and haven't looked back! My passion was helping others succeed in fitness and it is so exhilarating to accomplish that!

    Favorite Quote:

    "One of the most important things in life is that you don't let the judgement of others control your actions. If you do, you'll never accomplish anything. Just keep your head down and grind."

Sebastiana Browning

NASM-Certified Trainer

  • Hi!

    My name is Sebastiana Browning, but everyone calls me Savvy. I’m a NASM-certified trainer. I have specialties in integrated balance training, TRX, and a golf fitness specialization.

    I grew up in Dayton WA, and then I moved to Walla Walla in 2018. I realized I had a passion for health and wellness, and I wanted to share it with others.

    In 2019 I started working at the YMCA and began my journey as a personal trainer. It’s through the YMCA that I had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients. My youngest client was 10 and my oldest was over 100. From experienced gym goers to novices, athletes, previous bodybuilders, volleyball players, and post-surgery clients, I’ve had the privilege of working with them all. 

    It was also through the YMCA that I got to teach a wide range of exercise classes such as Yoga, Fall Prevention, balance and strength, small group boot camps, large group exercise, and TRX classes.

    I’m a firm believer that movement is life! As your trainer, my role is to help you utilize the movement tools that are the best for your goals. Whether you want to get strong enough to pick up your grandson, have the energy and agility to play pickleball, or get stronger through exercise, I can help!

     I’ll share my favorite quote. “Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of that process and you improve the quality of life itself.” Dr Moshe Feldenkrais.

Ashley Barnhart

Certified Personal Trainer

  • Hi, I am Ashley Barnhart, certified personal trainer. I am a Walla Walla native and an avid lover of health and fitness. I graduated from Boise State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing in 2016. After my two daughters were born, I stepped away from nursing to spend as much time with them as possible. During that time I expanded on my favorite outlet, fitness, and decided to make it a career path. I started a group fitness class for young mothers in the Walla Walla area in 2019 and passed the torch in 2023. Since, my focus has been working exclusively with small groups or 1:1 training sessions. I have coached many different types of fitness in my 9 years coaching but strength training is my absolute passion. I love to watch my clients get stronger and more confident with each session. I’m a firm believer that anyone can train with intention and their own level of intensity. Many of my clients are surprised  just how much they can do. Each client requires a specific approach that works for them. I love putting the puzzle together to give my clients the best approach at achieving their goals. I have worked with all age groups, prenatal and postpartum ladies, and clients with various types of pre-existing conditions. I have special knowledge of reconnecting and restoring core strength (postpartum or not). The goal is to teach my clients to be confident and continue their own journey in health and fitness after building a solid knowledge base. 

    Outside of the physical part of a session, we do a lot of laughing and I pride myself on building a strong rapport with my clients. Come train with me to become the strongest version of yourself physically and mentally.
