Our mission is to empower people through functional strength training to become the strongest version of themselves inside and outside of the gym. The programs we develop help build functional strength, enhance joint mobility, improve posture, increase metabolic health, and achieve a healthy weight. Sessions can be trained in the gym, in-home, virtually, or outdoors.

Coach Debbee Hernandez was born in Suchitoto, El Salvador. She arrived in Washington, D.C. in 2009 not speaking any English. After overcoming many obstacles during those first few years, she joined the track and field team for Woodrow Wilson High School under the tutelage of Coach Dezmond Dunham. He became a pivotal influence in Debbee’s life and challenged her to be the best athlete she could be. She was voted the most improved athlete in 2013 and earned several more medals throughout her track and field career. Debbee went on to complete a degree in Law Enforcement with honors on full scholarship from the University of The District of Columbia, where she also served as President for one year.
