About Our Personal Trainers

PhD-led, evidence-based fitness guidance since 1989

Be Fit and Thrive

Our mission is to safely guide each client toward their fitness goals while working hard — and having some fun too.

We offer a private setting — just you and a trainer. You can expect one or two other clients in the studio at most. We specialize in general strength and conditioning, weight loss, muscle gain, osteoporosis prevention and remediation, sports performance training, and more.
