About Nicole
Personal Trainer | I am a NASM certified personal trainer with a specialization in golf fitness and performance enhancement. Through creating a strong fitness foundation and building upon it with consistency I love watching my clients reach their goals. I care deeply about my clients and feel true value helping people go through an experience that makes them happy, confident, and strong.
My passion for exercising stems from being a long-distance runner. To prevent injuries and to enhance performance I have seen first-hand the importance that weight training has in maintaining a healthy balance in the body.

Michelle Evans
Personal Trainer
Serving since 2022
About Michelle
My journey in fitness started in 2001 as a Group Fitness instructor and personal trainer, after my youngest daughter was born. Comin from a family with a history of several chronic diseases, like diabetes, which I shortly suffered from during pregnancy, I had to make a change. I am very passionate about what I do.
I use several methods of training techniques that fit each individual's needs, that is challenging yet rewarding to help achieve results without burnout or boredom. Making it a point that working with me will always be fun yet productive, has always been something everyone looks forward to when here. It's been a blessing doing what I do. It gives me a very rewarding feeling and a sense of accomplishment, knowing I've helped people in a very positive way. My goal is to help you create a practice that's sustainable and fulfilling. From yoga to strength training to cardio, whatever is calling to you on any given day. Variety is a spice of life in or out of the gym.

About Eric
AFI certified personal trainer as well as a NASM Stretching and Flexibility Coach.
I believe well-being and fitness look different for each of us. Where my journey began with bodybuilding, fitness and health come down to more than just dumbbells and sweat. While I give concern to the larger picture of our program, seeing clients connecting with their body in new and better ways is my favorite part of my role as a Personal Trainer. By combining different exercise techniques, my clients always have fresh exercises to look forward to in our progression to looking and feeling better.

Israel Arteaga
Personal Trainer
Serving since 2023
About Israel
I am very passionate about helping others find happiness in life and feeling good about themselves. I believe that when you FEEL GOOD, you give yourself the ability to enjoy life to its fullest.
For most of my life, I was overweight and struggled with low self-esteem. I felt as if I was destined to live like that forever. All that changed several years ago. Today, I am the fittest I have ever been. I competed in my first bodybuilding show, (The NPC West Coast Classic), right here in the desert. Now, I find joy in using my own experience, struggles, and motivation to help people just like you. I know exactly how you feel. I do not have to try to put myself in your shoes… I have walked in your shoes and I look forward to helping you achieve your fitness, health, and life goals. Learning about the benefits of exercise, healthy eating habits, and having a positive attitude in life has allowed me to transform not only my body but my life as well.
For me, a healthy lifestyle is much more than just lifting weights. It is about stretching, warming up, eating healthy, and getting enough sleep. I love helping others see and experience what their bodies are capable of with the appropriate fitness program. My commitment to you is to help you achieve a happy and well-balanced lifestyle that will minimize the risk of future health-related issues.
