Alex Wilson | Master Trainer
When I was 15, I was overweight and needed a change. I started eating better and getting on the treadmill every day. Not because anyone told me to, I just knew I needed to. After about 6 months I started my Jiu Jitsu journey. Shortly after I got into MMA and Kali, and fell in love with combat sports. I went from 200lbs+ down to 145lbs. After a few competitions, I got up to 185lbs through strength and conditioning. I started getting more into fitness and wanted to help people like me get ready for competitions. I went out and got my NASM certification and stay on top of the current latest fitness changes so that I can pass on that knowledge to my clients and give them the best outcomes possible. I have been enjoying training my clients and helping them achieve their goals ever since. Are you ready for me to help you achieve your goals?

Heather Crawley | Certified Personal Trainer
HI! My name is Heather Crawley. I am a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I found a desire to become a personal trainer after I started attending CrossFit and Powerlifting Classes and solidified the idea when I started bodybuilding and was able to lose 60 pounds and put my health first. I fell in love with the science behind resistance training and nutrition and want to be able to use my knowledge to help others transform their health. I am currently also in school working towards a degree in Nutrition Science which I intend to take to a PhD. When I commit to something, I put 100% into it and I do the same with my clients. I have now been coaching clients for a couple of years and found a huge passion for helping people meet their goals and feel great.
Kylie Dominguez | Certified Personal Trainer
My name is Kylie! I began my own fitness journey early on, but with an unhealthy and imbalanced approach. After years of restrictive dieting, endless cardio, and a rather thick layer of dissatisfaction I chose to make a shift. I began fueling my body, adding resistance training, and changing my mindset to wanting to feel my best. I no longer dreaded working out and eating and found joy in training, eating well, and in finding a healthy lifestyle that worked best for me. This excitement led me to become a coach, with hopes to help others cultivate joy in finding health and balance in their own lives. I have been a trainer for 3 years now and am also a certified nutrition coach. I specialize in training women, seniors, and corrective exercise. Come train with me and let’s achieve some goals!
Tyler Hebert | Certified Personal Trainer
Hi, my name is Tyler Hebert. I am a certified personal trainer focusing on functional fitness, and weight management with resistance training. My passion for fitness started in the process of losing over 70 pounds and struggling with self-image issues. In my journey, I have dabbled in many different forms of exercise from fencing to Shotokan Karate. My passion flourished when I started to live a healthier lifestyle, in addition to incorporating gymnastic routines and resistance training. The freedom, mobility, and strength I gained also helped to skyrocket my internal and external outlook on life. I now want to pass on the knowledge I have to help others to gain peace of mind and freedom as we age. Whatever your goal may be, we can go beyond with a smile on our faces!
Darlene Zepeda | Certified Personal Trainer
Hi I’m Darlene! I am a NASM certified personal trainer, and I am so excited to help you with your goals! My love for fitness comes from my dad. He was always in the gym lifting and boxing and I have always wanted to be just like him! I put together my love for exercise and my love for helping people and decided to become a trainer. I am a bikini bodybuilding competitor and am constantly working on the best version of myself. During quarantine, I had access to a home gym where I then prepped for my very first show and I can say that I am hooked! Whether it is teaching or just training, kickboxing is one of my loves. I am always looking to perfect new tricks and kicks! I can’t wait to help you reach your goals!
Mary Crow | Certified Personal Trainer
Hi, my name is Mary. I am a Certified Personal Trainer. I have an early background in gymnastics, from age 5-16 years old I trained and also competed for many of those years. Early in adulthood, I became a wife and eventually a mother of 5 children. I know through my own journey of raising kids that it’s easy to lose sight of your own health and well-being goals. While always being “active” throughout my life I was never really into strength training as an adult. I felt weak and lost my sense of identity. After overcoming multiple health issues and an ACL injury I finally took an approach I never did before, putting my health first. I have found a passion for exercise and strength training. Results don’t happen overnight, they are earned by hard work, and the process is progressive. All this takes commitment. Having first-hand knowledge of the journey has given me the passion to share it with others. I am excited for this chapter in my life, so come train with me, and let’s reach some goals!
Raelena Valenzuela | Certified Personal Trainer

Being in the gym has helped me build confidence toward being my best self mentally and physically. I have been training for multiple years and am certified through the International Sports Sciences Association as a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Counselor.
