No. You don’t need to be “fit” to start here. Our small group training is designed for real people—busy professionals, parents, and adults who want to feel stronger and move better without beating up their bodies. Every session is coached and scaled to your ability. Having said that, safety is the first priority— you should be in good health and consult with your doctor for clearance as necessary.

Our Movement & Strength Collective is small group training, not one-on-one personal training and not large group fitness. Sessions are intentionally kept small so you receive individual coaching, feedback, and progression—without the cost of private training.

Max 8 participants per session. This allows for close coaching, proper technique, and a focused environment—never crowded or chaotic. As some timeslots are new and being filled, you may find even a session as small as 1-2.

The 1-week trial gives you up to three small group sessions, full coaching, and a chance to experience how strength, mobility, and conditioning are integrated. It’s the best way to see if the program is a good fit before committing.

Yes. That’s exactly what the 1-week trial is for. There’s no long-term commitment required to start—just a chance to train, ask questions, and decide if it fits your goals and schedule.

Your safety comes first. If you have a medical condition or health concerns, please consult your physician before starting any new exercise program. Our training is general fitness and is not intended as rehabilitation, postural correction, or treatment for any medical condition.

Having said that, many clients come in with stiffness, old injuries, or movement limitations. Our training emphasizes joint health, controlled strength, and safe progression. Exercises are adjusted as needed, and mobility work is the base of our program to support long-term resilience.

Current small group sessions are offered in the early mornings, including 6:10am and 9:00am. These times work well for clients who want to train before work and keep the rest of their day open.

Yes. During your trial, you can attend whichever session works best for your schedule, based on availability. Many people try both before settling into a routine.

Most clients train 2–3 times per week, depending on their goals, recovery, and schedule. Regardless of frequency, meaningful progress comes from focused, consistent training.

As part of membership, Movement & Strength Collective members also receive access to an on-demand training library with home-friendly mobility, recovery, and workout sessions—ideal for additional practice or for staying consistent when life gets busy.

Training focuses on strength, mobility, and conditioning through intentional movement. The goal is usable strength, better joint function, and long-term capability—not random workouts or high-pressure bootcamps. See Our Training Method page to learn more.

Yes. Mobility is integrated into sessions, not treated as an afterthought. Some session use mobility as the warm-up and some session being the main focus for the session. Methods from Kinstretch, Functional Range Systems (FRS), and TACFIT are used to improve joint control, flexibility, and resilience.

Depending on the sessions, we use tools such as kettlebells, steel maces, clubbells, resistance bands, yoga blocks, and more. All equipment is provided—no need to bring your own.

Just comfortable workout clothes, bottle of water, positive attitude, and a willingness to learn. All equipment is provided.

We are a personal training service within a shared training facility inside Bay Area Capoeira Jiu Jitsu (409A Old County, Belmont, CA). This allows for a large, open mat space for movement that is focused, well-equipped environment without the feel of a crowded gym.
