Natalia Gusching | columbusoh@sweatlikeamother.com
Natalia is a certified NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) personal trainer, a Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach, and is CPR/AED certified.
She went to Ohio State and graduated with a marketing degree, working in the corporate world for almost 8 years before becoming a stay at home mom when her second daughter was born. Shortly after that, she found SLAM.
Natalia first started SLAM’n in Savannah, GA in 2017, then did a few rounds of Virtual SLAM after moving to Columbus, Ohio. Her passion for fitness and motherhood led her to expand the SLAM love to the Cbus area in late 2021.
She loves sharing the SLAM magic – where you come for the workout but stay for the community. She believes that every mother is an athlete, and that moms can thrive when they find the perfect mix of sweat and friendship.
Her favorite ways to SLAM are with leg burners & AMRAPs. She also enjoys running & training for half marathons. When she isn’t SLAM’n she’s likely organizing something, drinking coffee and reading, or spending time with her 4 daughters and husband.

The Columbus, OH Team
Mallory Donkelaar | Instructor
Mallory is a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and is Pediatric/Adult CPR certified.
She is a mom to 2 boys and worked in the corporate banking world before becoming a full time mom in 2021. 6 months later she came across a Facebook event for the SLAM Columbus inaugural open house week, showed up and was instantly hooked!
Mallory fell in love with the sense of community that SLAM provides, not only for the moms but for the kiddos too! She also loves that SLAM is all about honoring your own body and what it’s capable of today, all fitness levels are welcome. Her favorite way to SLAM is a tabata or relay game for some friendly competition. When Mallory isn’t SLAM’n she is most likely trying a new recipe, reading or spending time with all of her boys.
Katie Tourville | Instructor
Katie is an ACE (American Council on Exercise) Certified Group Fitness Instructor and is Pediatric/Adult CPR certified. She has a bachelor’s and master’s degree in music education. Katie was an elementary general music teacher for over 15 years before she decided to stay home with her 2 kids.
Katie joined SLAM Columbus in June of 2023 and was immediately hooked on the amazing workouts and community. Before she found SLAM, working out was never one of her favorite activities. Now, she looks forward to and prioritizes her SLAM days. Katie’s favorite way to SLAM is an AMRAP on heavies day while listening to boy bands music. When Katie isn’t SLAM’n she is most likely at Costco, driving the mom taxi around town, or spending time with her family.
