About Rebecca Dotson
Hello! I am Rebecca Dotson, owner, and operator of Stronghold Fitness. My fitness career began 29+ years ago in college. I took an aerobics class as a PE credit and the instructor of the class saw potential in me as a future instructor. Since that time, I have tried to look for this same potential in others, coaxing them to follow their strengths and passions. I taught group fitness classes for over a decade while teaching elementary school and continued while staying home raising young children. As my children grew to school age, I realized my passions were more in fitness than in the elementary classroom and I decided to pursue fitness as a career. When teaching school, one thing that frustrated me was NOT being able to meet the needs of each individual in my classroom. The desire to meet the needs of individuals led me to my love of personal and small group training. My desire as a trainer, coach, mentor, and business owner is to support, educate, hold accountable and empower individuals in their health and wellness journeys, to help each individual with his or her specific needs and goals and to foster a desire for movement, exercise, and
fitness to become a way of life for all I serve.

About Becky Freyenhagen
Hello! I am Becky Freyenhagen, a certified personal trainer. As a wife and mother of three children, I understand the challenge of finding time to care for your physical health in the midst of a busy life. I recognize the importance of staying healthy and strong as we build our careers and raise our children, especially as we age. My desire is to help clients achieve their personal health goals and be supportive and encouraging in their overall well-being.
My love for fitness started when I began playing tennis at six years old. As I aged into adulthood and young motherhood, I worked to stay active. Sometimes staying active looked like my husband taking the babies while I played in the local tennis rec league at night, or sometimes we would throw all the kids on bikes and bring them with us as my husband and I ran a few miles around town. No matter how it happens, I have seen that staying healthy is as important for our physical health as our mental health. And now, as my children age into adulthood and go off to college, I desire to stay healthy and strong to be around to hold those future grandchildren!
No matter what stage of life, I am excited to come alongside you to stay healthy physically and mentally!

About Hannah Faler
Certifications: National Academy of Sports Medicine, Personal Trainer; Athletics and Fitness Association of America, Group Fitness Instructor; American Red Cross, Adult/Child/Infant First Aid, CPR, & AED
Hi! I’m Hannah Faler, a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor. Fitness has shaped my life for as long as I can remember. My love for the outdoors led me to running in high school, where I discovered its mental and physical benefits. In college, I stayed active with fitness classes and long-distance running, completing two marathons and several half marathons in my 20s. While cross-training at a gym in Mississippi, I was inspired by supportive coaches who showed me the impact of personal training. Their passion for helping others sparked my own desire to guide people toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. In 2019, after having my first child, I pursued my dream of becoming a certified personal trainer. Moving to Huntsville two years ago was a pivotal moment– and joining the Stronghold community under Rebecca’s mentorship has helped me grow as both a coach and individual.
As a trainer, my goal is to create personalized workout plans that help clients reach their fitness and wellness goals. I want to empower clients with the knowledge and tools to build lasting habits and stay active, so their body functions at its best for the long haul. I'll be there to listen, adjust programs when needed, and celebrate progress as clients build strength, mobility, and overall wellness. My aim is to boost confidence and energy, leaving individuals feeling ready to take on each day with a positive mindset.
I’m a wife and mom to two adventurous, energetic boys, ages 6 and 3, who keep life busy, wild, and full of fun! Coffee fuels my mornings, audiobooks keep me entertained, and I cherish quiet moments of peace in nature to recharge.
I would love to help you reach your fitness goals and improve your quality of life!
Hannah Faler
