Duke Harvey

Co-Owner, Personal Training & Fitness Professional

Hello, my name is Duke Harvey and I would like to tell you a little story about me. I was born in Cleveland, MS a long time ago. I have two brothers and three sisters, mom and dad. I’m the youngest of my brothers. We moved from Mississippi in 1976 to Chicago, Illinois. What a major change for me. From slow pace to fast pace, overnight. Stayed in Chicago a few years and mom’s decided it’s time for another change. We moved to Middleton, Wisconsin in 1981. What a culture/ethic shock. I’m very proud to say that I have a very KOOL mom that always showed me love and taught me how to understand and accept the good things that life has to offer. As my journey continues with day-to-day changes, I left Middleton and moved to Madison the following year. There I went to Verona High School and graduated from West High School. Yeah, I know a lot of folks.

After high school, I continued to explore life and landed my first full time job in 1984, Humana Insurance Co. In April 1985, my son was born. I have been a single parent since 1986. I resigned from Humana in April 2002 as an Account Executive Medical Underwriter. During the 18+ years in Corporate America, I tailored my life on what keeps me happy. I really enjoy communicating and dealing with people. It’s a natural niche for me. I got into Personal Training 20+ years ago and took that to the next level. From there I moved forward to Natural Bodybuilding, that’s a major “rush,” extremely fun and exciting. I met Nichol Schumacher (business partner) at Bally’s Health Club (in which the gym was my second home). Eleven months later in December 1997, Nichol and I purchased Kneaded Relief Day Spa. Another goal completed. I enrolled at A SpiriTouch Massage School in July 1999 and completed the 700 hour program in: Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, Reiki I, Posturology by Paul St. John, trigger point, acupressure massage, sports massage, lymphatic drainage massage (head, neck and shoulders), St. John’s Neuromuscular Pelvic Stabilization, utilization motions massage, hydrotherapy and aromatherapy massage. I graduated from A SpiriTouch Massage School in May 2000. Finally, my life is in COLOR. I truly embrace the loyalty of love and have found peace in my journey to believe in fate (all things happen for a reason). Massage, what can I say: I truly love it. It’s a passion that I can’t put into words. As I have been told, “there’s nothing like a Duke massage” Well, this chapter is coming to a close; I would like to thank you for reading this.

My next journey is to get to know “you.” Live in peace and keep smiling.

Kristin McCormick

Personal Trainer

Hello! My name is Kristin McCormick and I am a Personal Trainer here at Kneaded Relief Day Spa. My journey to Kneaded Relief began at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point where I began studying Physical Education. My love for teaching and working with others eventually led me in the direction of Health Promotion/Wellness.

In January 2011, I married my best friend Ryan and moved to Fitchburg, Wisconsin. A local family friend recommended to me to check out Kneaded Relief as she was giving my family and I a tour of Fitchburg and my mom said "you should work there!" Here I am, happier than ever! I incorporate my love for teaching and working with others into my training.

A little about my background…I grew up in Two Rivers, Wisconsin with my parents and one younger sister. As a family, we would and still do spend every weekend downhill skiing or relaxing in Door County. Growing up, I either had skis on my feet, or a tennis racquet in my hand. My passion for skiing started at a very young age…two and a half years old! I also took up snowboarding in 2005 and joined the National Ski Patrol in 2010. As for tennis, I've been playing tennis for as long as I can remember! It's a lifelong sport that's enjoyable and a great workout.

I love to work hard, and play harder. Stop in the Fitness Studio and meet me so we can get to know each other! If you see me on the ski hill, make sure to say hi! I look forward to meeting you.
