About Your Coach
Kadi Carr
Head Coach
Kadi spent her life deeply involved in sports, however an unfortunate shoulder injury forced an abrupt end to her softball career.
During this challenging time, she discovered the power and benefits of training outside of sports alone. Not only did it aid in her physical recovery, but it also became a source of solace and strength during some very dark days.
She knew then that she wanted to help others experience the positive impact that training could have on their lives, so she made the leap and became a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach. She wanted to be able to guide anyone, regardless of skill level or background, toward the best version of themselves.
She strives to provide a straightforward and convenient approach to training - to make it accessible and enjoyable for people from all walks of life.

Author of the book "God's Fingerprint on Fitness," Coach Nate grew up the fat kid. He started with bodybuilding and grew into powerlifting, but his training career was riddled with injury which led to a passion for corrective exercises and injury prevention.
He has had reconstructive surgery on on his left hip, both knees, and left foot (twice). Through intelligent training he has managed to avoid surgeries that were recommended on both shoulders as well as a third foot surgery.
He began coaching in 2005 and has built his career around helping other people whose bodies don’t seem to want to cooperate. As a coach he is very analytical - positive and encouraging, but prefers to teach over being a cheerleader.
Personally Nate is a gear head and always likes to have something fast and fun to drive. If he’s not cruising or playing guitar, you’ll probably find him at his kids' sporting events or on the couch with his dogs – a pit bull named Kilo, and a frenchie named Chonk.

Testimonials
The positive difference in how I feel and carry myself from day one is incredible. The atmosphere of the gym is very supportive, classes are small enough to not feel intimidated but also have the shared camaraderie of going through a tough workout with others.
Mandy Elliott
As a Physical Therapist myself, I'm really picky and knew the benefits of lifting, exercise form and nutrition, but I realized that I needed a professional to help guide me. They are great at modifying exercises to ensure safety, and work around the various limitations of old injuries.
Rebecca Wang
Every time I enter the gym I feel so welcomed. Since starting here, I have never felt judged or insecure when working out! Such a great community of people of all different fitness levels, all striving to make ourselves better than the day before.
