Your guides to becoming a fitter, stronger, and healthier version of yourself
Nick Palladino
Owner/Personal Trainer
I love my family, fitness, and helping other people achieve their health and fitness dreams. I specialize in helping people with busy schedules make the most of their workout time, so they can reach their full fitness potential. I have 3 girls under the age of 9 and run my own business, so I understand the struggle of finding the time to exercise and knowing how to optimize that time.
I've been involved in fitness my whole life. I grew up playing lots of sports in the San Francisco Bay Area. I ran cross country and track and field at Carlmont High School and UC Berkeley. I enjoy staying fit so I can be strong, move well, have the energy to spend time with my family, and run a Spartan Race here and there.
Qualifications:
-National Council on Strength and Fitness Certified Personal Trainer (NCSF-CPT)
-12 years experience as a certified personal trainer
-CPR/AED adolescent & adult certified
-NCAA Division I Athlete

Ben Rubin
Personal Trainer
I have been NASM certified personal trainer for over a decade with specializations in corrective exercises, working with seniors, and training new or expecting mothers. I have a strong background in martial arts, weightlifting, and injury rehab. If you struggle with back, knee, or shoulder pain in your workouts or daily activities let’s talk about where it hurts. I bet I can help. My practice is guided by my passion for healing movements and for the science of the human body.
My passion for healing movements started with my own struggle with back pain. Black Friday 2017 I was struck near head on by a truck. I was left barely able to walk and on a cane. My own path to recovery was hard, but immeasurably worth it.
I also hold degrees from USF in history and UCSF/UC Hastings in health policy and law. I’m a high energy goofball that can be found with my head in a book when I’m not working out. I love all dogs, good food, and anything on two wheels.

Jason Jones
Personal Trainer
I have been involved in athletics my entire life. As a kid I grew up playing baseball, basketball and soccer. I played baseball in college where long practice days and grueling workouts were the everyday norm. Having coaching, accountability and consistency led me to be in the best physical shape of my life.
I wanted to supplement my workouts with knowledge about the human body so I studied Kinesiology along with some Holistic Health classes in college. My studies led me to believe that a strong mind-body connection based on physical activity, mental stimulation and diet leads people to overall health, longevity and happiness.
Combined with my knowledge of the human body, my outgoing personality and passion for helping others will help you transform yourself into the best version of yourself you can possibly be.
Qualifications:
-BS Kinesiology San Francisco State University
-College Baseball Player
-CPR/AED adolescent & adult certified

Courtney Winterbauer
Personal Trainer
I am extremely passionate about endurance racing and women’s specific training. Growing up playing water polo, racing cross country and track before getting into triathlons in college, I had always been self-aware of how influential female physiology is on overall performance. In the last decade of training and racing triathlon, I have learned how differently we must train as women because of how our hormones fluctuate throughout each month as well as across our lifespan. Watching the evolution of women’s sports in current time is ground breaking with the latest science-based research on how to bio-hack our bodies. The science is catching up and I am excited to implement this knowledge into personalized programming as seen fit, along with accrued knowledge from my experience racing multi-sport events. From beginners to seasoned athletes to professional athletes, women are incredible, powerful and unique!
Qualifications:
-NFPT-CPT Certified
-Long course triathlete specializing in 70.3
-Multi time USAT Nationals Qualifier
-2X70.3 World Championship finisher
-Long distance runner
-Former Team USA High Performance Elite Duathlete
-CPR/AED adolescent & adult certified

I first became involved with fitness while training for youth and collegiate athletics. I fell in love with the growth process associated with training and decided I wanted to work with others to experience a similar feeling by helping them achieve their fitness goals. I enjoy learning about the human body and kinesiology and strive to maximize each individual’s movement mechanics based on their unique physical situation.Exercise and fitness also complements my interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine which takes a holistic view of the body and advocates balance of its systems to maintain optimal health.
