I believe exercise holds an important key to longevity, happiness, and increasing overall daily life satisfaction.

Currently, I am in the process of getting my Pilates certification, and have practiced yoga for the last 8 years.

In my mind, movement is the key to life. Through movement we can express ourselves mentally, physically, and creatively. Movement has inspired me to explore different places, experience different physical states, and finish my education. My approach to fitness looks at movement not only as a way to get fit but as a way of challenging oneself. Through challenge we grow and adapt with new solutions to movement and life’s obstacles.

With years of experience in hospitality, physical therapy, and strength and conditioning my ultimate goal as a trainer is to provide comfort, exercise adaptations, and education. To me, fundamentals are key, thus core training paired with mobility are my go to training modalities. Once fundamentals are established the fun begins. I like implementing strength and conditioning, HIIT, Kettlebells, calisthenics, therapeutic exercise, Pilates and mobility protocols. These styles of movement are just small pieces to the puzzle, and I am always eager to find new ways of moving and challenging myself.

At a young age I was active but didn’t have a healthy eating habit. I would stuff myself with junk food and tons of sugar. Then I got introduced to wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, doing these sports taught me the importance of eating healthy and how impact our performance. 

Doing marital arts taught me self discipline and how to take care of myself to perform the best I can. Fast forward, after high school I continued on to become a trainer for 7 years. The feeling of helping someone overcome obstacles in their life through fitness has been so rewarding to me. I never knew fitness could have such a big impact in our lives until I heard clients telling me their relationships have gotten better, they are more clear minded throughout the day and they feel their confidence coming back. 

I am passionate about helping my client get the results they need through strength and conditioning training and building a strong foundation.

A Maryland native with a lifelong passion for dancing and movement! I like to say I was born in the splits; since a young age I was always moving my body and challenging my flexibility and strength. In my life I’ve been a member of various dance teams, taught as a Zumba instructor, and discovered a love for lifting weights.

After repeating incorrect movement patterns while training, chronic hip pain landed me in a chiropractic office. There, I learned about functional strength training, the importance of your core, and later became their corrective exercise trainer. Connecting with functional strength has shown me how improperly we move in this world. My goal is to help folks get strong, feel confident, and gain knowledge of how to move and protect their bodies while training. I have worked with everyone from healthy athletes to those in debilitating pain, and I am committed to providing safe and effective training.

Born and raised in San Francisco, growing up being the “runt” of the group I was seeking purpose and courage. Involving myself with fitness at the age of 14 has been one of the most life changing and rewarding challenges I’ve experienced. Till this day, I’ve made it a passion to continue the life long journey to becoming a better version of myself. Everyday that I’m active is another day I get to learn more about myself and what I’m capable of. Fitness has given me confidence to physically and mentally project myself in a positive light.

I have a profound passion for Martial Arts. During my freshman year of high school, I started wrestling and strength training and fell in love with both. This has lead me to explore other disciplines throughout my life. I am now participating in sports such as boxing and currently still strength training and actively practicing Muay Thai (Thai style boxing). 

I have made a commitment to improve the wellbeing of others by providing functional strength training while also, incorporating traditional muay thai or boxing fundamentals to keep it fun and exciting. I am a firm believer in building your body to have longevity and durability.

I’m a Bay Area Native from Mill Valley. Growing up I spent my free time skateboarding, hiking, kayaking, body-surfing & swimming. I have always led an active healthy lifestyle and am constantly finding ways to challenge my body.
In my mid 20s I was struck with Celiac, this diagnosis forced me to adopt a disciplined diet (100% gluten free) and pushed me further into my fitness passion. Fortunately, it led me deeper into understanding the mind-body connection and enhanced my fitness lifestyle. This situation changed my perspective on work-life balance and wellbeing. I wanted a career that focused on health & wellness which led me to become a Certified Personal Trainer.

I have worked with many different clients, from de-conditioned working professionals, to retired athletes, to aging adults. My fitness beliefs revolve around having body awareness, understanding the dynamic between exercise, nutrition, and using movement as medicine. I structure my training to safely & effectively help my clients become strong. My goal is to help you boost your confidence, build and maintain strength and create a balanced lifestyle with a training program you will stick to consistently and also enjoy. I want you to look good and feel good! Outside of work I love to cook, bake, travel, explore the outdoors, and listen to music from classic rock to blues to hip hop and reggae. Getting a cup of chai tea or matcha is a daily ritual of mine.

Growing up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. As a child, I suffered with anxiety. I avoided social environments that involved a lot of people--that is, until I was 17 years old and met the powerlifting coach at my high school. I gave it a try and was instantly hooked! Powerlifting helped me gain confidence by forcing me to face my fears of being in front of large groups of people. This helped me conquer two beasts at one time: (1) my anxiety toward being in or around a lot of people and (2) the initial obstacle before dedicating myself to a lifestyle of fitness.

During my five years in the Navy, I trained more as an endurance athlete and grew to love it. I found endurance training was not only a good workout, but it was another way for me to challenge and push myself in other personal goals. After the Navy, I moved to San Francisco for college in the kinesiology program. I reached out to the Men’s basketball coach at San Francisco State University and began utilizing my education in an actual role. I designed the team’s strength training programs, coached them in weightlifting with proper form,and taught sport specific exercises. Once the season started the players were able to maintain their strength, speed, and power that was required of them to compete.

Health and fitness are key to one’s overall mood and wellness. The greatest lesson I took away from competing is that humans are meant to move! Why? I’ve come to find out that the less I move, the less energy I have. In addition, movement brightens my mood and really makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something in my day, which ultimately helps me smile more. As far as moving, always find what works for YOU. Maybe you don't enjoy running, so make your workout FUN and ENJOYABLE to YOU, then use that as a gateway into a more active lifestyle.

By taking the time to truly get to know you, your goals, and building a strong foundation, I believe your potential is boundless. Through an in-depth fitness assessment designed to understand your unique needs, I create a completely customized training plan tailored to you. Whether you’re in training for a triathlon, want to smile every time you look into a mirror, or simply looking to confidently say & ”YES!” to your next hiking invitation from a friend, I’m committed to meet you where you are and help you get there. Guiding you to shape a body built for all of life’s adventures is my passion!

My fitness journey began when I was preparing for Navy Dive School. I became fascinated by the mental and physical resilience people can develop when striving to reach a goal. My fitness goals started small, celebrating the little wins along the way, and eventually grew to include long-distance triathlon races. After my military service, I discovered a passion for helping clients achieve their fitness goals but took a detour to become a financial advisor. 

While I was sharpening my skills in goal-setting and strategic planning, I also came to understand the firsthand impact of being desk-bound all day. Grappling with long work hours, a sedentary lifestyle, and the mental strain they carried, I once again embraced my true calling: empowering individuals to enhance their physical well-being by guiding them through the complex fitness world, with expertise, kindness, motivation, and unwavering support. As a dedicated student of life, my drive for knowledge is never-ending. I explore diverse schools of thought which allow me to offer my clients workouts rooted in the latest results-driven research and real-world application.

I aspire to create a training environment that fosters growth by establishing a strong connection between the mind and muscles through intentional movements. We live in a world that is constantly on the move and there will inevitably be days when sleep or nutrition fall short. During those moments, I am here to offer even greater support, adapting and making the changes needed to keep you feeling your best.

I specialize in creating tailored training programs, functional strength and conditioning, mobility and stability enhancement, balanced muscle growth, effective weight loss, as well as flexibility and mobility for desk-bound professionals.

During my down time, you’ll find me immersed in ocean dives, trekking alongside my rescue pup on hiking adventures, or cruising on a long motorcycle ride. My constant pursuit is to discover life’s balance, one mindful movement at a time.

"Become what you've always wanted to be". That's the quote that I live by to this day. Being a Mexican native and a daughter of two immigrant parents, fitness was never a priority. Yes, I grew up playing sports such as soccer and track, but school was always number one. When I came out to San Francisco in 2016 to pursue my dream as an artist, I realized it was going to be much harder than I thought. I developed a lot of stress because of school and found my outlet in the gym. I started my journey not knowing much but stayed committed. I went in every day even after 8-12 hour painting sessions to let my body move and react in ways it never did before. Starting at just 100 lbs, I changed my eating habits, became more aware of my body's needs, and actually listened to those signs and gained 30 lbs in the process. I have become who I wanted to be, feeling strong, understanding movement patterns and now I can help others.

My goal as a personal trainer and fitness advocate is to help others move well, move pain-free, and move freely. I program with needs and wants in mind and believe that building strength and mobility is the key to pain-free moving. Whether you are looking to gain or lose weight, increase flexibility and mobility, body build, work on endurance or simply want to move well, I know we can work on those things together and get you to where you want to be and then some.

I began my journey in the fitness industry in 2015 with the intention of helping people work to their goals with efficiency and minimal injury risk. Having fallen in love with basketball as a young kid, I set out to become the best athlete I could, hoping to one day play sports professionally. Limited knowledge of how to train for sport and properly refuel and rest my body slowly wore me down physically, resulting in many ailments, movement compensations and lingering pain. Seeking remedy for my own issues, I gained inspiration to dedicate my learning more about the human body, proper training technique and nutrition, to better serve others towards achieving their desired results. I use these pillars to create fun, strategic and systematic training programs, while striving to always be a student who never feels their learning is complete.

I grew up playing sports, but it wasn't until after high school that I began to form a real understanding of strength and athletic training. Before I became a personal trainer, I trained and participated in combat sports (primarily submission grappling but also kickboxing and MMA) as both a competitor and a coach. My training philosophy is that strength is the key which unlocks everything else, whatever one's goals may be.

I went from a bartender to a personal trainer in 2005. I attended a 500 hour school for personal training at NPTI where I earned a diploma as well as a certificate in nutritional counseling.

From there, my lifestyle and body went through a transformation and found joy in all things physical. Immediately I got a certificate for mat pilates, ran a marathon on a dare and then delved deeply into mixed martial arts.

After falling in love with jiu jitsu and muay thai, I found myself ahead of my peers training with the best of bay area fighters. My strength and conditioning made up for my lack of experience and the programs I developed for my sport now influence my client's workouts. Mixing pilates, HIIT, weights, and plyometrics.

My programs are designed to keep my clients engaged and moving strong.

I started my fitness journey like many other 15 year old kids growing up in San Diego - I signed up for the local gym to get some muscle for the beach! What I didn’t realize when I walked through the doors that day was that I had found something that would ignite a lifelong passion. In 2008 I moved to the bay area to attend Sonoma State University where I would go on to get my bachelors degree in Kinesiology to begin a lifelong pursuit of health, fitness and movement.

In my 10 years as a trainer I have a diverse background of experiences: training in gyms, running large and small groups (indoors and out), rehab clinics, athletic training development, corporate fitness and kettlebell specialization. This wide array of experiences has helped to build a foundation of knowledge and confidence to be able to help anyone achieve any goal they wish to attain

My approach as a trainer is to teach movement, and fundamentally change behaviors. I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach - there are many different paths that lead to success and I am committed to finding the one that will best suit your lifestyle while leading to your goals, so that we can make changes that will last long term. Whatever the path we take, we’ll be sure to improve strength, correct movement patterns and postures, and have fun along the way!

I take a data-driven approach, through testing and tracking, as a way of constant feedback so that we can make sure you are maximizing the results from your hard work. My ultimate driver is to teach and instill a lifelong movement practice with everyone I work with.

Chris Finlez

Personal Trainer / Assisted Stretching Specialist

I was Born in Chicago although I spent the majority of my life in Northern California. My path to this field stems from my experience as a collegiate athlete. Playing Soccer in college allowed me to experience a wide array of injuries which halted my ability to pursue my life long passion. However my passion for the understanding of the human body and movement came into fruition in my last couple years of college. Knowledge in this field allows me to continue exploring physical challenges myself as well as help others explore their bodies potential.

 I believe in a holistic approach to health and fitness by incorporating healthy rest and a well balanced diet being just as crucial as our time spent in the gym. In the gym I like to focus on functional movements with an emphasis on building a solid foundation that will allow you to achieve any physical goals you have while minimizing injury. I believe physical, mental and spiritual growth starts and ends with your health. Designing the right program based on  your fitness level can allow us to achieve any goals you set forward while providing your body with the love and care it deserves.

Personal Trainer

Athletics and movement science have been a passion of mine since I first started playing soccer at a young age. Fine tuning specific movements in training for sports performance helped to improve my efficiency and power necessary to play competitively. As a teenager, I was naturally underweight and needed to develop a weight and body training program that could help me gain lean weight, improve my strength and mobility, and ultimately result in more effective injury-free movement on the field. This led me to my passion for physical therapy and athletic training. My journey started with becoming NASM certified but has continued into participating in biomechanics research studies, learning how to utilize MATLAB to code kinematic biomechanical data, and working in a sports orthopedics physical therapy clinic. I combine my love for movement science and connecting with people to create customized training programs that address my clients' goals in an environment that is fun, intense, and rewarding.

Growing up, I overlooked health and exercise often. I was out of shape, overweight, and lacked any sort of drive and self confidence. Everything changed when I got my first gym membership in High School.

I fell in love with weight training, got into good shape, gained confidence, and found a direction to lead my life. Since then, I have continued to train, got my degree in Exercise Science, and became a certified Personal trainer.

Now I aim to use everything I've learned about exercise to help my clients in their own fitness journeys. I believe a healthy lifestyle has so many benefits to offer both physically and mentally and I think everyone should give it a try.

My goal as a trainer is to make exercise fun and enjoyable for my clients while also helping them reach their goals. If you're looking to get stronger, build muscle, lose weight, or just get active, I believe I can help.

Personal Trainer

My journey in fitness began at the age of 14 when I enrolled in a weight training class. My instructor was a former trainer to olympic athletes, and he preached the importance of living a healthy life. I was fascinated by human anatomy and how the muscles in our bodies work together to help us move. I was inspired to learn more about ways that we can develop healthy habits to improve quality of life, and in the process of that I found purpose in spreading this knowledge to people looking to progress their health.

As someone passionate about mental & physical well-being, I aim to uplift those I work with who are on a journey to self improvement - whether they are new to the world of fitness, or have years of experience. Each person has their own definition of what physical fitness means to them, and it means a lot to me to be able to help in achieving that goal.

I specialize in strength training that utilizes machines, free-weights, and calisthenic exercises. I believe that proper form is at the foundation of all exercise, allowing for the safe and efficient progression of your physical fitness.

Outside of training I love cycling, finding new recipes to cook, practicing martial arts, playing guitar and exploring music genres.

Jonathan Rivera

Personal Trainer / Assisted Stretching Specialist

Born and raised in SF in a Hispanic household. I was overweight and was never happy with myself. I didn’t like looking at myself in the mirror and nobody in my family was into fitness. I decided to get into fitness myself and even though I managed to lose 67 lbs. I made so many mistakes and injured myself by overtraining throughout the process.

I realized how important investing in your own health can be. Fitness became a passion and I want to help others to not make the same mistakes I did when I started. I changed my major in school to study to become a PT and got into nutrition to level up my training. The more I learned the more I knew I could help more people. 

My goal as a personal trainer is to make fitness fun and to help people achieve their goals in a safe manner with proper training . I work on strength and mobility to make sure everyone can move throughout their days without any pain or discomfort.

Whether your goal is to lose/gain weight, work on mobility, endurance, to train with an injury, or just to feel better over all, I will be there to support and guide you.

My passion for fitness started at a young age playing a variety of sports growing up in the Bay Area.  I was never really talented but what I lacked in skill I made up for in effort.  I knew I had to bridge the gap.  After going through phases training for strength with Powerlifting, being more fit with Crossfit style workouts, then focusing on power through Olympic Weightlifting, I realized that what it really comes down to is fitness for longevity.   

I attended Cal State East Bay for both my Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Kinesiology where I focused on a broad range of topics including Physiology, Biomechanics, and Exercise Psychology.  The knowledge I’ve amassed through school and 10 years of experience has helped me train individuals with a variety of goals whether they’re looking to lose weight, build muscle, or improve their overall health.  

My training philosophy is all about building a strong foundation and instilling good habits.  I am a firm believer that to live a long healthy life, exercise is the backbone, while moving often and well are requirements in creating long lasting results.  Training with me is more than exercise and burning calories.  It is a systematic process that starts with seeing how you move and creating a plan from there.  I understand that everyone's fitness journey is different, so I tailor my training programs to each individual client's needs, goals, and lifestyle. I also focus on creating a supportive and encouraging environment where my clients feel comfortable pushing themselves.

Born and raised in Fairfield, California. Fitness has always been involved in my life in some way. Growing up I played soccer for about 10 years before I found that my real passion was in the weight room. Being strong is always something that has been important to me, so when I found strength sports, I began to thrive. Starting to compete in strongman and powerlifting is what drove me to getting my certifications. I found that by helping people get stronger and bring up their weak points, it had a lot of carry over into their everyday life. Outside of competing, my true passion is helping people, and the best way I have found to do that is by building confidence through exercise. The other thing I love about being in this industry is helping people work on imbalances and get them out of pain. I like to execute a mixture of methods to achieve the desired result and I’ve found that in doing so it helps keep the gym interesting.

Outside of the gym I love to read, listen to music, and spend quality time with my family.

My approach as a trainer is to build confidence and create lasting habits to help improve one's overall quality of life. I emphasize strength training modalities that can be transferred from the gym to daily life. I believe everything a person does inside the gym makes everything they do outside the gym better. My programs are structured to have clients progressively build toward their ultimate goal. Everybody is different therefore every body is different, so training programs are catered to my client’s individual needs. My ideal client is anyone with a goal, a positive attitude, and a willingness to work hard. 

My love for fitness started when I was in high school competing in sports such as football and basketball. It was during this time that I learned the importance of exercise and proper nutrition. I became aware of how it had an impact on my overall health and wellness. I attended Central Michigan University to earn my bachelors degree in Exercise Science. From there I developed my passion to help other people obtain their highest quality of life via fitness. 

I have over 16 years of experience as a trainer. From training individual clients to large groups, I’m also experienced with sports performance training and working in physical therapy clinics. My career has led me to take on several management positions in corporate fitness clubs. I’ve coached and mentored other trainers, helping them to develop skills and build successful businesses. This wide array of experiences has helped to build a foundation of knowledge, communication skills, and confidence to be able to help anyone achieve any goal they wish to attain.

Phelix Ho

Personal Trainer

Fitness and exercise has most definitely been the largest influence in my life. As a child, I was never active, had health problems, and was generally introverted due to lack of confidence and self esteem, but starting my fitness journey changed all of that around. Through many years of training and education, I have not only transformed my own body and health, but also my mental state has become the best that it has ever been. Because of the benefits I have felt through my journey as a fitness professional, I now wish to pass on such life changing experiences to new people who also seek the same results. Simply put, fitness has changed my life for the best and now I want everyone to experience the same.

Outside of fitness, I am a SF Native and studied at University of California, Davis. As for my free time, I spend most of my time doing various activities with loved ones such as exploring new restaurants, playing video games, various sports, exploring outdoor activities, as well as being the best singer my shower has ever seen!
