Nestled in the heart of San Diego’s beach scene, Fit Mission Beach is your ultimate Southern California fitness facility. Enjoy an early morning yoga session or take your workout outside on the deck to soak up the sunshine. This location is home to the historic landmark The Plunge; known to be the largest indoor pool. The aesthetics will reflect floor to ceiling windows and a retractable roof, allowing swimmers to enjoy the warm San Diego weather year round.
Ashtanga yoga focuses on a specific sequence of postures which are linked through movement and breath. The unique aspects to this practice include engagement of the internal locks and deep breathing which are used to assist the regulation of the flow of energy or life force. Ashtanga is an athletic flow combining strength, flexibility and stamina.
This heated class flows from Ashtanga to Hatha to Vinyasa to cultivate balance, flexibility, strength, endurance & relaxation. This is a strong, rejuvenating and fun class with authentic music! Asanas include sun salutations, core isolation, standing poses, balancing postures, seated and reclining poses, backbends and inversions. Special emphasis is placed on moving meditation.

I believe that any physical pain or limitation can be fixed or greatly improved with the correct exercises.
We don’t have to accept living with aches and pains and we certainly don’t have to accept being unhappy with our body and health. With a science-backed approach, my job is to help you achieve your fitness and nutrition goals.
Results require adapting to high intensities and higher volumes of work. This is not an overnight success and happens over a program of months to years. The first step is to develop a good base that optimizes fat burning, recovery, and movement training (muscle activation and body mechanics). If there is a problem in movement, then the strength training will suffer later and no true results can be maintained. Second, the ability to recover between sets and workouts is probably the most important part of success in the gym because this will increase our ability to tolerate harder exercise. In my training programs I consider a balance of pain-free movement, human performance, and the person. It is not a one size fits all approach and it requires fine tuning adjustments to the person, but the end is a goal reached or the humbleness of where you need to keep working to get there.
My fitness journey started in sports in high school. From there I took what I learned into the U.S. Marine Corps to assist with physical fitness in the unit. After I got out of the military, and got injured several times doing various sports, which led me to understand human movement better. I became a personal trainer with a focus in functional training for 4 years before shortly after. From there I decided to finish my bachelor’s in pre-physical therapy and then a masters in sports performance. My current goal is to publish in the Strength and Conditioning Journal a proposed way to train a system that decreases fatigue while working at maximal levels, so someone can work at their max ability for longer. Ask me about it if you want to nerd out about fitness.
