Kendra is also a highly skilled Personal Trainer and her classes reflect her roots in fitness boxing and as a trainer.

Angel started her boxing journey in 2021 as a way to stay active indoors and escape the blistering Texas summer heat. She developed a love for the sport due to the variety of techniques that can be refined at every skill level. In her classes, you'll find a mix of footwork and functional movements that reflect her personal training style. Angel brings a warm and welcoming energy to the gym and hopes that students find more than just a place to sweat at RISE; she wants them to discover a supportive community of boxers they can call family.

Outside of RISE, Angel loves to stay active outdoors, whether hiking or snowboarding, and enjoys spending quality time with her two cats and husband at home in Salt Lake City.
