Michelle McLemore

Operations Manager

Michelle oversees daily operations for the agency, ensuring that West Coast provides World Class service to all clubs and instructors and delivers inspiring trainings and events. Michelle has been helping to PUMP up the Les Mills programs in clubs around the country for most of her career. She trained on BODYPUMP® USA 3 when it arrived in North America 10 years ago and will never forget her very first BODYPUMP® track presentation: Pray for Freedom. She has been hooked ever since. When she’s not in the office or getting a great thumb workout on her PDA, she can be found spending time with her hubby, Brent and the LMWC Mascot, Rocco (the cutest Chihuahua in the world!).

Brent McLemore

Club Coach

Brent trained on BODYPUMP® USA 3 when it arrived in North America, and has been helping to create life-changing fitness experiences in many different roles with Les Mills in the years since. As our agency’s Club Coach, Brent helps club owners and GFM’s get the most out of their Les Mills experience, showing clubs how to maximize the value of services like eClub and throw Rockstar Relaunch parties that help retain members, increase new membership sales, and revitalize the excitement surrounding Les Mills programs every three months. Brent is also a US National Trainer for BODYATTACK® and BODYSTEP®, and most recently a video presenter for BODYSTEP® 70.

Kate Godleman

Her club found amazing success with the Les Mills Group Fit Formulas, increasing both their new membership and retention rates, as well as building a strong connection between the club and community. Now she’s excited about working closely with clubs in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska to measure and manage their group fitness programs and helping bring the powerful and positive lifestyle that is at the center of the Les Mills mission to as many people as possible. Kate is also a force to be reckoned with in BODYCOMBAT®, BODYFLOW® and BODYPUMP®.

Sharon McCauley

Business Development Director

An avid skier and sailor, Sharon McCauley originally hails from Roswell, New Mexico, and is thrilled to bring her 15 years of experience in the fitness industry to Les Mills West Coast and California. During those years she’s gained a thorough understanding of how clubs work by getting her hands dirty in virtually every aspect of the industry. She’s been a group exercise instructor, group fitness director, personal trainer, membership sales consultant, and a sales rep for pilates equipment. When she’s not visiting clubs, she’s working towards getting her favorite musical artist, Prince, into more Les Mills releases.

Amanda Gould

Club Coach

Amanda is excited to be “stepping up” for Les Mills West Coast as Club Coach. She’s no stranger to group fitness or Les Mills, however. Amanda has been teaching group fitness for 18 years and is certified to teach seven of the eight Les Mills programs. She’s the US National Pro Trainer for BODYSTEP® and also trains BODYATTACK®. A former school teacher, Amanda’s background in education makes her a perfect person to help guide clubs towards getting the most from their relationship with Les Mills, and she looks forward to personally getting to know each of her West Coast clubs. Though she feels at home swimming in the ocean or riding her dirt bike, she often prefers to simply be home with her cat Crash, a cup of Starbuck’s, and a good book.
