ABOUT US
Our mission is to help you use fitness as a tool to stay healthy, build confidence, and feel better in your day-to-day.
WHAT WE’RE ABOUT
The fitness industry can be incredibly frustrating; from fitness gimmicks, fad diets, and the high standards placed on society (especially women) to look a certain way.
We’re here to help you put yourself first in your fitness journey: your health, wellness, and your confidence.
We’re going to be your cheerleader, and your coach to help you get there. We’re here to help make the journey a little easier along the way; through feedback, guidance, support, and for program adjustments.
Whether your goals are to lose fat, build muscle, improve strength, or improve your health — we’ll be here to help you get clarity around those goals, and then we’ll structure your program around your goals and your needs.
10 years experience in personal training, virtual personal training, and online coaching.
LEXES O’HARA
One of the biggest struggles I’ve faced in fitness was competing in my first NPC bikini competition. I competed as a way to feel “worthy enough” and, long-story short, this lead to a binge-eating episode… right before stage on show day.
I ended up with binge-eating disorder, going from 140 lbs on show day to my heaviest at 175 lbs. This all happened within a couple of weeks, and the recovery and healing from this lasted years. I had begun lifting prior to this because of its impacts on my mental health, and suddenly it felt like “fitness” was making me worse. What was making it worse was choosing goals to feel validated, rather than putting myself first in my fitness & my health.
While fitness can feel destructive, it can also be powerfully healing when done right. My mission is to make sure that fitness remains a healthy tool in your life, and if it’s not already; to help you get there.
7 years of combined experience in personal training, physical therapy, and occupational therapy work.
BRYAN PADUA
My passion for fitness began in childhood, inspired by my father's dedication to bodybuilding. Growing up, I stayed active by participating in sports such as baseball, football, and lacrosse. A lower back injury in college sparked my interest in rehabilitation, leading me to work in physical and occupational therapy and eventually pursue a career as a trainer.
I have experience working with a wide range of individuals, from adolescents to older adults and from complete beginners to Division 1 athletes. As a competitive powerlifter, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for strength training and the empowerment it brings.
My goal is to help you build good habits and develop a mindset that promotes a healthy relationship with fitness. I strive to help you see fitness as a lifelong tool for feeling good, improving your overall well-being, and increasing your longevity.
