Hi, my name is Taylor! I have been weightlifting since 2018, and in 2022 I prepped for my first bodybuilding competition where I grew a love for the bodybuilding training style.

I am a big believer that your training does not need to be complicated in order for you to see results. Regardless of your experience level in the gym, I would love to help you reach your most confident, strong, and healthy self!

Michaela Camlin
Michaela Camlin, M|C Body and Mind, CPT

Hi everyone! I’m Michaela Camlin. Fitness has always been a part of my life. I grew up around it with both of my parents as personal trainers. My approach centers on the connection between body and mind, because how you move and how you feel are deeply connected. I take a holistic approach to training, helping you build strength, support longevity, and feel good in the process. I’m particularly passionate about women’s health and hormones, and how they can influence energy, performance, and overall well-being. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to level up, I’m here to meet you where you’re at so you can feel strong, balanced, and like the best version of yourself inside and out.

Scott Sherman
Scott Sherman

I specialize in strongman, powerlifting, and functional strength training, working with people of all experience and ability levels. I believe everyone can make meaningful progress in the gym with the right structure, consistency, and coaching. I’ve competed nationally in both powerlifting and strongman and have coached athletes to compete at both the national and world level.
Whether you’re stepping into the gym for the first time or preparing for high-level competition, my approach is the same: meet you where you’re at and build training around your individual goals. My goal is to help you get stronger, build confidence, and continue making progress.

Gavin Jones
Gavin Jones, Beyond The Scoreboard, CPT

Hi everyone, my name is Gavin Jones! My goal is to help you move and perform better, whether you’re a competitive athlete or just want to train like one. I spent 14 years as a competitive swimmer, qualifying for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials and winning a Division III national title. Along the way, I learned that every athlete starts from a different place and responds to training differently, so I build your program around your goals, timeline, and background. My approach is simple: create a fun, engaging environment that keeps you healthy and in the game, builds your performance in and out of competition, and teaches you the "why" behind your training so you have the tools to succeed long into the future. Whatever you’re chasing, I’m excited to help you train for it.
