Coach Donita

(SHE/HER)

Fullerton, California

As a person, I am pretty laidback. I am a mom of three (ages 23, 18, and 12) and a Pre Med student. I am a person that has been through a TON of setbacks in life. Although I have been involved in sports and fitness my whole life, I have also suffered two severe car accidents: one where I broke my jaw (1997) and the other when I broke my neck (2019). These events, along with other adversities in life, have made me a coach that has learned to help others find a way to take care of themselves no matter what is going on. I am firm, but kind, as I help people learn to prioritize themselves and find what they can control to be successful. My specialties are powerlifting/ oly lifting, and adaptive training.

Coach Steph

(SHE/THEY)

Atlanta, Georgia

I love to work with people who want to create a sustainable relationship with movement, become more consistent, drop their all-or-nothing approach and find balance, and focus on building strength and confidence. I often work with people who have a history with disordered eating or exercise, and for that reason we generally don’t do weigh-ins or measurements and focus instead on things like how their energy improves or how daily activities become easier as they build their strength and endurance. Weight loss can be a side effect of working with me, but it’s generally not what we’ll focus on. We work hard and give ourselves grace and compassion. Specialties: Strength training, intuitive eating, weight-inclusive, HAES informed

Because if we aren’t having fun, then why bother? So when you attend my class, you can expect some great dance music, sweat, and terrible jokes from moi. Can’t wait to workout with you soon!
