  • Arleigh Thorp

    Contact Arleigh: arleigh.thorp@islandreccenter.org

    Hey yo!!! My name is Arleigh. I have lived in Hilton Head since 2012, originally from Murrieta, California. Softball was my sport growing up. I was blessed to play Division 1 softball, as an outfielder and catcher, for 4 years at California State University in Long Beach, CA. While at CSULB, I earned a BA in Kinesiology with an emphasis in education.

    Instead of going into teaching at a school, I went straight to training at a gym and I’ve been hooked ever since. I enjoy personal training, small group personal training as well as circuit style classes. I love to help people find what they enjoy doing for health and fitness.

    When I am not working you can find me walking my dogs, indoor cycling, or grocery shopping - I love food!

    Let me know if I can help you with that exercise you find challenging!
