Angelique

Hi, I’m Angelique. I grew up as an obese athlete, playing baseball, basketball, and softball, never focusing much on my health, and instead emphasized family first over everything. Years ago, I decided to take control of my health when I finally reached 310 lbs. I slowly began my fitness and weight-loss journey. Over time, I lost 110 lbs through my self-developed nutrition and fitness plans. Through my fitness journey, I discovered a passion for weightlifting and powerlifting, which I showcased often on my social media channels. Eventually, this led me to start training others upon request, which showed me a new career path in the fitness industry as a personal trainer. In 2018, I decided to quit all my jobs, pack up my car, leave behind my family and friends, and relocate to Houston for better living and potential career opportunities in the fitness industry. I eventually became acclimated to life in Texas and Houston and studied for and passed my PT certification. I am now an American Council on Exercise (ACE)-Certified personal trainer. I am experienced primarily in bodybuilding and powerlifting style workouts, which I can teach clients using good form, practice, and consistency. My passion is helping others achieve their fitness goals through body transformation. I pride myself on ensuring my clients feel comfortable performing any exercises/programs in the gym, can meet their fitness goals, and maintain it long after!

Arien

Hello, my name is Arien and I am a certified personal trainer. I became interested in fitness when I was 16 years old because I had always fluctuated from being overweight to very skinny, and always with little to no muscle as I was younger. Going to the gym started as a hobby, and eventually it became an activity that I was truly passionate about and very much enjoyed. As I continued to go to the gym and work on my strength, I realized that I could not only better myself, but others as well. As I continue my journey, I hope to spread my knowledge to others and help them better themselves so they can feel more confident.

JOSHUA

Hello, my name is Joshua. At the age of 17, I started my career in fitness, first as a student of combat fitness and conditioning, thanks to the training I received in the Marine Corps. Throughout my enlistment and my time in college, I maintained an open mind in the realm and culture of fitness and health. Health is a diverse and growing field that continues to evolve, and that growth and evolution creates a variety of approaches to obtaining and maintaining health; which I use to cater to and meet each clients’ individual needs. As a trainer, I do what I must to consistently achieve my clients goals and my own goals in health and strength. I use tried-and-true methods of movement, stress, and recovery to help my clients. The bottom line of all this is that I love what I do and want to share it with you.

Alex

Hi, I’m Alex! Being an athlete since childhood, I was introduced to the fitness industry at a very early age. After many years of being a multisport athlete, I knew right out of high school that personal training was the path I wanted to pursue. It was during this time the gym became a safe space and outlet for me during some of the most pivotal times of my life. This challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone and face my insecurities head on. What started as a personal outlet, became a passion to help others face their own insecurities and discover a healthier lifestyle. I am a NASM certified personal trainer and certified nutrition coach. Currently continuing my education, I’m pursuing a specialization in Corrective Exercise. I have experience in coaching both 1-1 and group classes, including bootcamp and cycle. Allow me to be a part of your journey and help you reach your goals together!

ERIC

Hey guys, my name is Eric, otherwise known as shamrock! They say I look like ken shamrock so it stuck. I got into fitness in my early twenties after a debilitating back injury while training with a guy that looked great but wasn’t in reality very knowledgeable. Growing up I played the basic little league baseball and football. Took a little karate but being a personal trainer became my dream. I’m NASM certified and currently studying for my nutrition coach certification as well. Your strength and wellness are my goals!! I want you to be the best version of yourself you can be. Train hard, train smart, get results!
