We believe it is important to be strong, mobile, and fit to live your healthiest life and never be held back by the things in life that you want to experience… like playing with your kids, hiking with friends, putting your suitcase in the overhead bin, or being able to walk up a flight of stairs without being completely out of breath. 

To achieve your goals it is necessary to have:

1. An appropriate training plan for your fitness level

2. A plan that you enjoy (maybe even look forward to!)

3. A plan that ACTUALLY gets you results. Otherwise, how do you stay motivated to keep going? 

That’s why we have options for you. From personal training, to semi-private, small group and outdoor sessions, we can find the right program that fits your fitness level, budget and goals.

We offer the following training modalities:

• Private Training (1 to 1 coaching)

• Semi-Private Training (1 to 4 coaching)

• Small Group Training (1 to 8 coaching)

• Outdoor Training (the huffy puffy stuff)

stone talamantes - assistant coach and frc mobility specialist

Coach Stone found Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) and mobility work through his own journey with injury recovery after years of skateboarding. Experiencing injuries firsthand sparked a deep interest in understanding how the body heals and moves, and how to help both himself and others get out of pain and move better. He is an FRC® Specialist and Kinstretch® Certified instructor, and he’s passionate about teaching people how to take ownership of their mobility and joint health.

In addition to mobility, Coach Stone has a strong love for strength training—not only to stay resilient enough to jump high and absorb impact, but also for the confidence and mental benefits that come with getting stronger. He also genuinely enjoys public speaking and education, making mobility classes a perfect blend of his expertise, experience, and passion for helping others move and feel their best.
