Rene
The reality of weight gain hit me when I entered college. I was eating whatever I wanted, drinking, partying and simply just living an unhealthy lifestyle. This was now the start of my journey into transforming myself to the best me. After undergoing this journey, it inspired me to help those individuals struggling in similar positions. I now make it a priority to help others become healthier and fit in ways that will fit their lifestyle.
“You will grow through what you go through” The light is always at the end of the tunnel in tough times, getting your foot into that door is the first step!

Larisa
Larisa Stahl is a certified personal trainer, health coach and group fitness instructor in Hoboken and NYC (and, thanks to 2020, the internet!) and specializes in TRX, kettlebells, pre/post-natal, kickboxing and small group training.
Her love of fitness began in childhood, as a member of the Kangaroo Kids Precision Jump Rope Team. She became an avid runner in high school when she was not starring in the school musicals, and soon looked to exercise as a form of therapy, friendship building, and fun. She began a career teaching group fitness while she was pursuing dreams of a music career in NYC, and soon realized fitness was a dream of its own.
Max
Education is the kindling of a flame not the filling of a vessel and sifting through a lot of the BS in the fitness industry ( like all industries) has made me who I am today. Here I proudly stand 12 years later with two kids (5 & 8) and in the best shape of my life ( till I hit 40 , that’s when I’ll be at my BEST ;-). I focus on “the Long Game “ and what can I do to help others achieve with their bodies and improve a quality of life that melds with every other aspect of this existence while we are here to experience it all .
