Meet our strongest team

JT Lane - Owner & Fitness Instructor
My name is J.T Lane and I am the CEO of Elevate Fitness and Wellness-Tri City. My family and I are beyond excited to plant and grow roots in the Tri-City area!
I have lived all over the country, from coast to coast. Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Orange County California, South Carolina, and North Carolina. I have been a Certified Personal Trainer for over 20 years, first becoming certified through the prestigious Cooper Institute in Dallas, TX. I began my fitness career as the General Manager for L.A. Fitness, opening the location in Frisco Texas in 2005. From there I started a financial firm in Austin, TX that ultimately had 5 locations across the state of Texas over the next 10 years. Although my professional passion has always been in startup business, I have worked hard to always maintain a presence in the fitness industry. I have been a CrossFit Trainer since 2014, first receiving my Crossfit L1 Certification in Charlotte, NC. I ultimately acquired 3 more CrossFit certifications, and was “Box” owner in Greenville, SC.
I am in Recovery, and have been for over 10 years. Today by God’s grace I work with other alcoholics and drug addicts. I specialize in youth/early adult addiction, formerly serving as the Youth Pastor of an inner city church in Charlotte, NC. The fastest growing demographic of drug addicts in the nation are our youth/young adults between the ages of 12-20 years old. I am a certified Life Coach, who earned a specialty on The Opioid Crisis In America (HHP100) through HarvardX, an initiative of Harvard University in Boston, MA. Through my struggles God has equipped me to reach the unreachable, comfort the afflicted, and mentor those who are starting over. My wife Brandie and I are active in Life.Church’s Prison Ministry, where we carry a message to Clara Waters Penitentiary, and help transport the inmates to Life.Church Norman Campus on Sundays.
I will never forget where I came from, and I hope to never lose sight of where I’m going. My prayer is that through ulterior life experiences, I might be able to help spare others from making the same mistakes I did. I am working hard to break the cycle, becoming the first and last addict in my family.
Brandi Lane - Kids Fitness instructor
I am the Director of Operations here at Elevate. I am so excited to be a part of bringing this new sense of community to this area, and (hopefully soon) getting to meet each and every one of you!
I describe myself as a Jesus following, coffee loving, Bulldog owning wife and mom, and that pretty much sums me up in one short sentence!
I was born and raised in Gage, Oklahoma, and have lived in OK my whole life, with the exception of a few years in Texas. Being raised in a small town, anything sports related was what my life revolved around. I grew up playing basketball, softball, and running track. I carried this with me into adulthood and over the last 20 years I’ve coached several of my kids’ basketball, t-ball, and baseball teams, and have been an avid runner, participating in many half marathons and a full.
Staying fit has always been a priority, but in the last few years I have grown to absolutely love group fitness. And I most recently became a certified children’s group fitness instructor.
I am married to the CEO of Elevate, JT Lane. He is my biggest cheerleader and a fierce protector. We have three teenagers in the house that keep us busy constantly! But in our spare time, we volunteer within the prison system, and foster bulldogs through Tornado Alley Bulldog Rescue. I most recently also became an approved volunteer for the OKCity Crisis Nursery. In our house we use the phrase “Love Like Jesus Loved” regularly, and I truly believe that is our highest calling in life. I cannot wait to bring that love to this gym!
