Landry Luhring
Landry graduated with honors from Central in December 2021, earning her B.S. in Exercise Science
with an emphasis in Strength and Conditioning. Luhring then returned to Grundy Center in
January after accepting a position with Endurance Physical Therapy.
Landry has taken on a variety of roles at Endurance, including serving as office manager,
receptionist, marketing/social media designer and event coordinator. She also programs and
instructs group fitness classes including Boot Camp, Speed & Agility and the clinic’s new
Functional Fitness class. Additionally, she creates personalized workout plans to help clients/athletes
reach their individual health & fitness goals.
In her free time, she says she loves to be active:
“I enjoy going on walks, playing in sand and
indoor volleyball leagues, CrossFit, as well as traveling with friends and family. However, a
perfect night would also include eating some popcorn from the Centre Theatre, reading a good
mystery novel, all while cuddled up in fuzzy socks and blankets."
Katlin Armbrecht, PTA
Katlin is a bike trail enthusiast who loves to spend her time enjoying God's creations
outdoors. She is fond of hiking with her family and singing with her sisters. She wishes she
could sing with them more often!
One should know that Katlin will never turn down any baked goods! However, her go-to ice
cream treat is a Reese's Peanut Butter Blizzard.
Katlin grew up in Readlyn, Iowa and later went on to study physical therapy at Hawkeye Community
College in Waterloo, Iowa. As an active individual, her desire to become a Physical Therapist
Assistant stemmed from wanting to learn how the human body moves. She loves working with
people and assisting them with their goals in order to live life to the fullest!
"Keep Life in Motion" means to keep the movements of the body optimal so that we can LIVE life
whether that's participating in sports or playing with grandkids."
Katlin has been working as a physical therapist assistant for almost 7 years. She was drawn to
the small town aspect of Grundy Center and proximity to her family.
