Emely Gonzalez – Womens Pre/Post Natal Trainer & Health Coach

Hola mi gente, me llamo Emely. I believe that living a healthy life is an absolute privilege. However, it has not always been easy for me. Women, we have to work a little bit harder in everything that we do, but I am here to tell you that it is possible! You want to lose 10 pounds? You want to build a booty? You want to build more muscle? Let’s do it! Whatever your goals are, I will help you reach them. I have been overweight, have had an awful relationship with food, my hormones have been out of balance, I have dealt with anxiety and depression, the list goes on. However, I am here to show you that goals are not impossible.

I am a NASM certified personal trainer and I have a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science, Community Health Education from California State University, Long Beach. ¡Y entreno en español también!

My fitness journey started at a very young age when I began playing sports. I really fell in love with soccer. It was playing soccer in college where I was first introduced to lifting weights. Although my college career was short lived due to injuries, it led me to find my passion and love for strength training. Lifting weights has transformed my life, in ways I never thought possible. Not only have I gained physical strength, I have found resilience, dedication, and a love for food.

I LOVE eating; my favorite foods consist of fish tacos, pasta, sushi, enchiladas, y tamales. I grew up in an immigrant Mexican household with delicious flavors and spices. Are these foods always healthy, no, but that does not mean that I eliminate all of these foods from my diet. Instead, I focus on mindful eating. I have spent numerous hours finding clean and quality foods and substitutes that are delicious and fuel my body. I will teach you how to make simple substitutions and additions to your food so that you never feel as if the foods of your culture and childhood are what holds you back from your dream body and life. I love food and I want you to love it too.

As a personal trainer, I specialize in women’s training, functional strength training, mobility, endurance training, sports training, conditioning, nutrition and overall health improvement. I will train your body to be strong, resilient, and help you reach your physique goals; as a Health Coach. When training with me, I will make sure you understand the importance of having a healthy quality of life. I provide personalized workouts and health guidance; I will push you and motivate you daily. Whatever your goals are, we can reach them together!

Emiko Jaffe – Personal Trainer for Active Women over 50

If you’re looking for a female personal trainer who really understands what it means to be Midlife Fit, you’ve found her. I know how important it is to get stronger (while protecting old injuries and preventing new ones), increase stamina (without workouts that leave you feeling sore and exhausted), move with more suppleness (while relieving aches and stiffness), and express on the outside the youthful, vibrant version of YOU that you feel on the inside.

Personal training for Menopausal women

As our bodies and life priorities change in midlife, exercise is no longer a “nice to have”– it’s a necessity to delay–and even reverse–the negative effects of aging which include bone, muscle and strength loss. But one-size-fits-all “busy work” workouts won’t cut it for us when it comes to maintaining and improving our health and fitness. Nope! For that, you need a thoughtfully and strategically designed program, ideally, tailor-made just for you with nutritional, sleep and stress management support.

Personal training for perimenopausal women

Perimenopause can bring a myriad of physical and emotional changes, making it crucial to have a fitness regimen that adapts to your body’s fluctuating needs. My approach focuses on increasing your physical capacity to enjoy your favorite activities, managing stress, and maintaining energy levels so you can stop relying on that second (or fifth!) cup of coffee to get over those mid-afternoon slumps. With smart programming created just for you and supportive coaching, I help you navigate this transitional phase with confidence and vitality.

Personal training for postmenopausal women

Whether you’re transitioning through perimenopause or firmly in postmenopause, I customize your training program to meet your specific needs so you can . . .
  • Take fewer rest breaks and see more art when you visit the Louvre on your Paris vacation.
  • Enjoy the views and wildlife with your family on a hike and not fall behind on the trail.
  • Maintain athleticism in your favorite sport while decreasing your injury risk.
  • Slow down the effects of aging (and we’re talking way down) so that you get more life out of your years.
Personal training for hypermobility
Building strength with hypermobility requires a specialized approach to training. By improving joint stability and working within safe ranges of motion, I help you reduce pain, decrease injury risk, and increase strength and overall fitness, so that you can enjoy an even fuller life with fewer limits.
Online Personal training for midlife women
If you prefer the convenience of training at home, I offer private 1:1virtual personal training through Zoom. This is perfect if you want to get and stay fit and healthy with real time guidance and support in a comfortable and private setting. I also offer recommendations on setting up your home gym based on the equipment you already have and equipment you may want to add.
I’ve helped people who have never engaged with formal exercise before, executives who spend hours at their desk and in meetings, healthcare professionals who are on their feet all day, retired folks who want to remain active and former Division 1 athletes get fit and stay fit for the activities they want to enjoy now and well into the future.
I’d love to help you get Midlife Fit, too.

Shane Dempsey – Adult/Athlete High Performance Training

Having been an athlete all my life, I was always drawn to the weight room and strength and conditioning environments. Fast forward through my early 20s, 3 separate low back injuries requiring pain killers and muscle relaxers to remediate, non-progress in the weight room and I was looking for answers. Enter me hiring my first coach and embarking on my fitness journey. after 3+ years of coaching and testing things on myself; I move differently, look differently and overall FEEL differently. The only way I was able to do this was conscript mentors who pushed me to new heights. Even though you probably don’t want to be a fitness industry worker, my goal for each of my clients is to bring the energy, passion and enthusiasm of the coach that I wish I had when I was younger, and was fortunate enough to have later in life.

So, what exactly is human/athlete high performance training? It is a comprehensive, physiology driven training plan designed to teach you HOW to move through the main movement patterns to start. This doesn’t mean we won’t push intensity and you won’t feel a stimulus in early sections, but exercise selection will be driven through the lens of “How do I get X to master the squat/hinge/lunge/push/pull?”. Everything builds off of this, whether you are a baseball player looking to improve exit velo, a former collegiate athlete looking to get back into (or exceed) the fitness capacity you had in college or a Mom of 3 looking for efficient workouts in a busy schedule, my aim is to meet you where you are at, set concrete goals based on what you want to achieve and then I figure out the roadmap from there. I incorporate general strength training, plyometrics, mobility drills, energy systems (cardio) development, and safe power development (this stays important regardless of age) to name a few. I analyze the situation at hand, and look through my toolbox to find the right tool for the job.

A little bit more about me – I started my Strength and Conditioning career at Dartmouth College interning in the varsity weight room while acting as Director of High Performance and interim Head Coach for the Men’s rugby team. From there I moved down to Boston to work at Flight Performance and Fitness, where I had the incredible pleasure to learn from 2 of the best mentors on the east coast while working with clients/athletes ranging from 11 YOs playing hockey, D1 Baseball players, USA Rugby and Hockey national team players, 50 year old dads and 78 year olds just trying to move well. In that time I acquired my NSCA – CSCS and CPT while amassing over 10,000 hours of coaching and floor time. This experience has proved invaluable in giving me a unique lens to look at human movement, address issues and maximize strengths.

All of this to say, the principles I operate on stay the same:
1. Meet the client where they are at and look to establish foundational movement skills or build upon an already solid foundation. This approach creates strength and resiliency through all of the movement patterns in a sound, pain free way.
2. They don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
–> My aim is not to bore you with scientific knowledge or wow you with information about glycolytic energy pathways (if you want to go down the rabbit hole I am MORE than happy to oblige), but in reality it is to help you see the fitness industry and the way you move differently. High touch point relationships will be built, in these I will look to understand what makes you tick, what your schedule and stressors are like and how I can be of best service to you in creating the most robust and resilient human possible.
3. Not just talking the talk, but walking the walk – Just about ANYTHING I program to a client (there are very few exceptions to this) I have tested or done myself. This allows me to relate to the feelings and sensations that movements and different types of energy system programming can have on the individual.
4. Big rocks first, then we can major in the minors – I aim to help you NAIL the big rocks of fitness, nutrition, and some holistic health tools. After we have mastered the basics of consistency, adherence, protein consumption and some breathwork tools then we will take a deeper dive into more nuanced conversations. In my experience I have found the majority of people can clean up their gym, nutrition and overall well being by just nailing the fundamentals of high performance.

I am also a certified Nutrition Coach through Dr. Layne Norton’s “BioLayne” nutrition course. He is evidenced based and research focused – Nutrition coaching with me is about mastering the big rocks of protein intake, nutrient balance, sleep and hydration.

If you are looking not just for a training experience but for skills, tools and knowledge to guide your decision making in the realms of fitness + nutrition, shoot me a message and let’s see if we’re a good fit together.
