Meet the Team

Tori received her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Middle Tennessee State University in 2016 and graduated from Carolina massage Institute in 2018. Tori owned her own sports massage business and has a background in fitness coaching and yoga.

She has worked with athletes of all types including CrossFit athletes, powerlifters, strongmen, rugby players, triathletes and the everyday active people.

When Tori is not working, she can be found lifting weights, exploring Durham with her dog, and lounging on the couch binge watching her favorite shows.

Durand received his bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Elon University. His education has provided him with a strong understanding of how optimal tissue loading and manual intervention have the ability to increase race-day performance, reduce recovery time and decrease the prevalence of overuse injuries.

He considers the person as a whole from proper nutrition and recovery to a highly specific movement plan to address the client's specific goals. His main professional goal is to allow greater access to increased performance for professional and recreational athletes and creation of an inspiring pathway to find the inner athlete in anybody regardless of past medical history.

Durand has experience with 3D video analysis to break down sports-related movements for optimal performance and safe tissue loading. A common treatment approach includes a highly targeted manual intervention through soft tissue and joint manipulations to allow a therapeutic window to then promote client independence that is empowering for their fitness journey. His previous treatment populations range from high school to geriatric athletes in traditional and adventure sports.

When Durand is not working with his clients, you can find him outdoors with his wife enjoying a wide range of adventure sports. However, preferences always go to road/gravel rides on the stiff-framed bike and fast and gnarly descents on his mountain bike. To his standards, “The best rides are started at a cafe and end with a local brewery.”

Colin acted as Director Sportif for Team Young Medalists at the Tour de l’Abitibi on 5 occasions, as well as for other professional cycling teams at the Bucks County Cycling Classic, the Philadelphia International Cycling Classic and the Reading 120.

He’s a believer in an integrated coaching model, using a team approach to help athletes reach their goals by considering every detail of not only cycling workouts, but also recovery, nutrition, strategy, tactics, equipment, psychology and technical skills.

Throughout his career, he has helped countless athletes reach their “next level” goals, whether those goals are to finish a century ride, upgrade from a Cat. 2 to a Cat. 1 cyclist, obtain a pro contract or win a National Championship.

From a coaching perspective, she loves training triathletes or runners looking to add in some cross training. She has coached multiple athletes to their first triathlon and 70.3 and Ironman races! She believes good communication, individualized recommendations and having fun are all keys to a successful season. 

When not training or working, you can find Sabrina hiking or doing agility with her dogs, working on a craft project or catching up on the latest show.

Kelly received her bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Bucknell University in 2012 and has established a career as an Engineering Program Manager in the medical device development industry. She transitioned to part-time engineering work in 2022 to focus more fully on the things she loves most: bikes, mentoring, and coaching.

In 2023, Kelly founded a non-profit all-girls junior development mountain bike race team, KellCat Devo. As team Director, she helps give the girls access to experiences and resources that sustainably develop them into strong athletes, both physically and mentally.

Kelly believes that having fun is the most important part of participating in sport and pursuing athletic goals. Her athlete-coach relationships are based in open communication, clear expectations, and helping her athletes believe in the process and themselves.

Gabe now applies what he’s learned to support athletes and everyday movers alike—those who want to build true resilience, improve their mobility, and increase their strength without burning out or breaking down. Whether you're recovering from injury, returning to sport, or simply looking to train more effectively, Gabe brings both lived experience and practical knowledge to help you train smarter and stay strong for the long haul.

She is passionate about helping athletes reach their goals and excited to coach beginner to intermediate runners, whether the goal is running a mile - or racing a marathon!

Using evidence-based practice to guide her treatment approach, she uses manual therapy techniques that allow windows of opportunity to load her patients effectively with exercise selection specific to the person. Liz knows there is so much more to physical therapy than RICE and e-stim - she wants to educate her patients on pain science, principles of loading, recovery and nutrition, neuromuscular principles of adaptation, and so much more.

Liz is not only a PT at the Endurance Collective - she is also one of our strength coaches. She is extremely passionate about exercise and resistance training - it is her favorite part of rehab and performance coaching. She believes wholeheartedly that if you want to live long and die strong - you need a plan. A plan that starts with and utilizes progressive overload. Her true passion is to teach people how to do so effectively, safely, and confidently so that people feel empowered to live their lives without restrictions or in constant fear of pain and injury.

She loves getting to see people through any and all the phases of injury to freedom. From one-on-one physical therapy to individualized progressive resistance training programs as a strength coach, she can help you with your performance needs at any stage of the game.

As both a PT and a coach she has one mission: To create a safe space for vulnerability and physical, emotional, and mental growth that challenges the typical cookie cutter fitness industry and healthcare standards.

When Liz isn’t working, you can find her hanging out with her dog Lena, playing basketball, going to concerts, enjoying the outdoors or hanging with her pals at a local brewery.

She now spends her time managing a local running store where she gets to talk about all aspects of running everyday, and she’s ready to help any and all runners no matter where they are in their running journey! She believes that plans should be unique to each person and should be a balance of progress and fun with consistent clear communication between coach and athlete.

When Eryn’s not slinging shoes or out for a run, she’s playing disc golf, loving on her pup or scheduling a beach trip!

Mercedes earned her undergraduate degree in social and behavioral sciences with a master's degree in athletic training from Seton Hall University. Since graduating in 2014, Mercedes has worked as a Licensed Athletic Trainer with various collegiate division I teams and is currently the athletic trainer for the University of North Carolina’s softball team. 

As an athletic trainer, Mercedes is educated in evaluation, diagnosis and rehabilitation of acute and chronic injuries, emergency care and general illness management. Through the years, she has developed a passion and interest in biomechanics, strength and conditioning, and performance enhancement which has highly impacted her return to play programs for her student-athletes. She’s excited to use this background in helping athletes of all kinds return from injury or improve their performance!

When she’s not working you can find Mercedes with her nose in a good book, exploring all that Durham has to offer in the music and food scene, or being active in any number of sports with her friends.

Halle maintains a holistic approach to treatment that aims to empower and educate her patients. Her hobbies outside of the clinic include trying new sports, strength training, painting, going to the beach, and giggling.
