BRIANA

Hello, my name is Briana. I am a new graduate from Sam Houston State University, and I majored in Kinesiology with a minor in Psychology. I am certified through the National Federation of Personal Trainers and I have a strong passion for fitness and helping people accomplish their fitness goals. I am specialized in working with people of all ages and all demographics, from triathletes to people who have never worked out a day in their lives. I have the knowledge and experience to get anyone on the right track to a healthier lifestyle.

JUSTIN

Hi, I’m Justin. I believe that physical wellness can transform the way a person experiences life. My philosophy is to have an environment that encourages people to learn and challenge themselves through exercise in order to be happier and healthier. With my knowledge and experience, I will help you develop skills inside the gym that will improve your experiences outside the gym. I competed in track through high school and college, and have also overcome a major sports injury and use that experience to teach others about proper body mechanics and functional training. My experiences throughout sports and fitness led me to become a Certified Personal Trainer and Sports Performance Coach. Your body is the only permanent home you will have, and I enjoy coaching people of all different backgrounds and have worked with de-conditioned populations, senior adults, and all skill levels from novice to trained athlete. I am confident that I can develop a program that fits your individual learning style to help you reach your goals.

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.

Travis

I am Travis, I moved to Houston last year from Maine, where I got my BS in Neuroscience from The University of New England. My favorite sport is rugby, and while playing in college, I fell in love with bodybuilding. I was ignorant at first, and it took me multiple years of no progress to realize that sometimes help is needed to get better. After educating myself to become the best trainer I could be, I am here to help you, whether you are starting at the gym, having trouble breaking a plateau, or just need someone to keep you in a good mindset and accountable. I am dedicated to getting you to your goal by creating hands-on programming that focuses on hard work, dedication, and the consistency required to get measurable results.

CASSANDRA

Cassandra hails herself as a very subconscious individual. She displays unmitigated excellence when training herself, and she displays this same determination when training her clients. Cassandra is always bubbly, so let's break out the champagne and get those gains! She has worked with various clients of all sorts. If you're overweight, Cassandra will work with you to teach you about a healthy lifestyle that makes you smile and makes others go wild as they see your new style and life. If you're unhappy about your muscle mass, then Cassandra will work to help you gain that muscle you've always wanted. If you're older and looking to stay fit, then she'll help you learn better ways to function and make your dreams come true.

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.

Loryn

Hello, I’m Loryn and I've been in fitness for as long as I can remember! I started sports at the age of 4, and continued on to play college basketball for Oklahoma State and ended up one of the greats. I have many accolades, including being drafted into the WNBA as the 18th overall choice for the Dallas Wings. In the summertime, I trained athletes and kids on-campus to help them get in shape at basketball camp. At that point, I found out that fitness and helping others are two things I am passionate about and personal training combined the two! From there, I went on to work for the Houston Rockets as a coach and taught kids and young adults in basketball camps. I believe that with my help, all my clients will see that I'm a motivator as well as a team player and we will work together to get you the best results possible. I want to be your personal trainer, whether you want to lose weight and drop fat, gain weight and muscle mass, or anything in between; I'm your girl!
