We had the good fortune of connecting with Kourtney Vaughn and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kourtney, what makes you happy? Why?
In training and coaching I realized I am a Teacher outside the classroom. I love teaching a new skill, exercise, or life lesson because once it final settles into the minds of the person and they execute it then I know I’ve done my part as a teacher and that makes me happy

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Alive Elite is so dope because we train and teach everyone; for instance one of our clients has Polio and could barely lift her leg when we first started training but with patience, motivation, and structure she’s killing box jumps and single leg mobility exercises. Alive Elite is forever changing growing and expanding, its not easy because everything we learn in books doesn’t work for every person we encountered along the years and especially with covid we had to pivot and return to our mobile services. I would like everyone know that Alive is exactly what the name is about: Living! Living the best life we can and are able to as long as we strive for it.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Red Rooster on Friday nights to hear local Djs like Spinelli and Paperwater is always a go to. Unit B in Pembroke Gardens is one of my favorite food places and when I’m feeling fancy Uchi in Wynwood is amazing!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Along my journey I’d like to give a big thanks to David Cooney who coaches at University of Miami who introduced me to Track and Field, J. Reams and Daniel Monroe who always gives sound advice when I feel lose or delayed in my journey, Joey Scott for Teaching me everything I know about Track and Field, and Last but not least my team; my best friend and my Fiancé who is with me every step off the way
