Hi! We're Josh & Vera

A personal training duo passionate about helping men and women like you improve their fitness, movement, and mobility for a healthier and more active lifestyle.

Having worked with such a diverse population in the health and fitness world, 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, bodybuilding 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.

WE'VE BEEN COACHING FOR OVER 15 YEARS
