ANIKA PETERS
PROGRAM & EVENTS COORDINATOR COACH & PERSONAL TRAINER
Anika's athletic journey began at the age of three when she started taking ballet classes, where she first learned the importance of practice, dedication, and the rewards of skill development. These early experiences sparked her passion for sports and a deep understanding of what her body could achieve.
At 13, Anika joined the inaugural kids’ class at The Farm Athletics with some friends, and immediately fell in love with Functional Strength & Conditioning. She was drawn to the sense of community, the opportunity to lift weights, and the personal challenge of competing with herself to continuously improve. Her enjoyment of the sport, combined with the camaraderie of her friends, led her to fully commit to Functional Strength & Conditioning, eventually putting aside ballet. Throughout her teenage years, she competed in various teen competitions, always eager for her next training session at the gym.
The years Anika spent training in Functional Strength & Conditioning fueled her passion and inspired her to pursue a degree in Kinesiology- fast forward to May of 2022 when Anika graduated from Pacific University with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. She aims to share the love for fitness that her coaches at The Farm instilled in her with others.
With a background in kinesiology, Anika understands the importance of continued exercise and fitness practices as we age. She is excited to apply her knowledge and experience by coaching both Functional Strength & Conditioning & Legends classes.

Testimonials
We have a 14U baseball catcher son who's been having some pain in his knees after long weekends. We figure it's partly due to growing but also after strenuous play it was getting bad, even with KT tape. The tape helped but to increase his performance and prevent injury, Anika put together a 12 session, 6-week training plan to strengthen and stabilize his ankles, knees, and hips. After the 6 weeks, he's been able to continue his play at a high level and has since stopped complaining about his knees and isn't feeling the KT tape is critical now. He's got a lot more play to go this summer and the mid-season help from Anika was valuable in helping ensure he'll finish strong!
-Dad of M, age 14
I’ve been training with Anika since March, and the results have been life changing. I have significant knee problems, but Anika has been incredible at adjusting every workout to accommodate my needs. Since I started, I’ve noticed a major difference in my strength and stability. I’m now able to walk and work out much better than I could in the past. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly listens and knows how to work with physical limitations, I can’t recommend Anika enough!
-J, age 66
Anika has been the piece that we have been missing from our training program for our son. As a motocross athlete the one on one training that she provides is personalized to his needs, and we have definitely noticed the strength gains these last six months. We are so happy we found this personal training option with Anika!
-Mom of M, age 14
I can't recommend Anika at The Farm highly enough. Starting my fitness journey felt a little intimidating, but from day one, Anika made me feel comfortable, supported, and capable. She has been incredibly encouraging and genuinely invested in helping me achieve my goals.
Her calm, patient, and consistent approach has helped me build confidence, improve my strength, and stay committed to working out. She knows when to challenge me, when to encourage me, and always celebrates my progress, no matter how small. Thanks to her guidance, I've become stronger, more confident, and actually look forward to my workouts at The Farm.
My sessions are created to meet my abilities, with a focus on proper technique, and steady progress. Anika's positive attitude, enthusiasm, and wonderful sense of humor make even the toughest workouts enjoyable.
What I appreciate most is that Anika genuinely cares about her clients. She creates a welcoming, supportive environment where you feel encouraged to do your best without ever feeling judged or overwhelmed.
I'm so grateful for everything she's done to help me, and I highly recommend Anika and The Farm to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and motivating trainer who makes fitness both rewarding and enjoyable.
-T, age 53
The constant activity doesn’t stay on The Farm for Anika, in her downtime she can be found playing disc golf or complicated board games with her friends. Anika values quality time well spent with her loved ones, most of which she met right here at The Farm Athletics.
Whether pursuing her passions for disc golf, spending time with friends, or enjoying the company of her rescue dog, Phil, Anika finds balance and joy in both her active and downtime activities.
