Rayn Hookala, NASM CPT, NASM CES, MFA Dance

Rayn Hookala, owner of Happy Hour Fitness, is a passionate fitness professional with more than 20 years of experience. Rayn holds a Masters Degree in Dance from Arizona State University and is a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist. She is also an adjunct professor at Chandler-Gilbert Community College and an instructor at Tumbleweed Recreation Center in Chandler, Arizona.

Rayn’s experience as a professional dancer/choreographer and collegiate dance faculty results in a unique and electrifying training experience for her clients. She has created a fusion workout style that includes weight lifting, dance, martial arts, functional training, and corrective exercise. Rayn coaches proper form and teaches her team to understand body alignment and safe movement execution. 

Rayn embodies the paradox of a devoted educator; she is intense, driven, and demanding while also being compassionate, inclusive, encouraging, and loving. Her passion for making exercise fun shines through in amusingly creative ways – from choreographing songs for an 80’s themed week to making cardboard swords for Game of Thrones week. She loves to see her team laugh and smile.

Happy Hour Fitness, boot camp in Chandler, was created to provide a safe place for students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to feel empowered, to get some sick gainzzz, and to ultimately become the most authentic version of themselves. Together, as a team, we push through boundaries, both physically and mentally. We embody the paradigm of fitness without judgment. 

Welcome to the team - it’s HAPPY HOUR, BABY!
