hey there!

We're Josh & Vera, a personal training duo passionate about helping men and women improve their fitness, movement, and mobility for a healthier and active lifestyle.

Having worked with such a diverse population in the health and fitness world for a combined 15 years, we've learned a thing or two about helping our clients reach their goals. Our backgrounds are as diverse as can be - rehab, sports training, weight loss, and injury prevention - all of which have given us a well-rounded toolkit to tackle any challenge when working with our clients.

If life's curveballs or nagging injuries have thrown you off course, just know that you're in good hands with us. We've been through the whole trying-everything-but-seeing-no-results ordeal ourselves, so we get it.

Our biggest mission? Boosting your confidence to take that crucial first step towards a mobile, active and pain-free you.

Are you tired of trying different approaches that just don't seem to work for you?

Imagine the struggle of putting together solutions for your fitness, movement, mobility, health, and nutrition needs. It can be pretty overwhelming trying to find a one-stop solution for your wellness journey. That's why we take the guesswork out of it for all the clients we work with – our customized, all-inclusive training approach brings together a mix of fitness and wellness elements. We get how each piece contributes to your journey towards a healthier and happier you, making your path to overall well-being a whole lot easier.

Here's what our clients have to say...

"Josh has been a lifesaver for me. I have been working with him consistently for 1 year, 3 times a week.

I have had a lot of lower body injuries from sports that as I have gotten older had become almost chronic. I had both my ACLs reconstructed which led to other issues to develop over the years. I had developed chronic back issues that would take me out of doing any physical activities for weeks at a time. 

It would be a constant battle that only progressively got worse as the years wore on. I would hurt my back every couple weeks since 2013.I am currently on my longest stretch of no back issues since 2013."

ANDREW W, 38
