This was the beginning of Thrive.

July 2020.
COVID lockdown.
Nothing about it was a safe bet.

There was a lot of growth required in those early days.
A lot of quiet self-talk late at night.
A lot of belief before there was proof.

When I look at where we started…
where we are now…
and where we’re going…

I feel nothing but appreciation and love for everyone who has been part of this journey.

Our trainers.
Our admins.
Our membership liaison.
Our RD.
Our cleaning crew.
And most importantly—our members, past and present.

So many people pulling for this place to succeed.
So many people choosing to show up, even when it would’ve been easier not to.

And we’re still growing…because we believe we’re more than a gym.

We’re a community of people who support each other, move together, and grow stronger…inside and out.

Thank you for believing.
Thank you for staying.
Thank you for being part of Thrive. ❤️

Push-Up Form Breakdown with Coach

A lot of people think push-ups are just about arm strength, but the real goal is full-body tension and control from head to heels.

In this breakdown, Coach Chana walks through proper setup, lat engagement, and core positioning—covering common mistakes like flared elbows, shrugged shoulders, or an arched lower back—so you can protect your shoulders, build real strength, and make every rep count.

Whether you’re training at home, traveling without gym access, or working toward stronger push-ups, mastering the basics makes all the difference.

Ever feel like your workouts just aren’t paying off?
It might not be the sweat — it could be your fueling.

Here are common mistakes that sneak up on active people:
🍌 Skipping pre-workout fuel — even a small snack powers your energy and hormones.
⏱ Waiting too long after exercise to eat — your muscles need protein + carbs within an hour.
🥗 Relying only on fruit post-workout — pair with glucose-based carbs like oats or sweet potato for faster recovery.
💪 Undereating carbs overall — more activity = more carbs needed to build and repair muscles.
Simple fueling tweaks can improve:
⚡ Energy throughout the day
💪 Recovery & reduced soreness
🧠 Mental focus & steady cravings

Focus on inputs, not just outputs — fuel your body, recover smarter, and the results will follow.

Full guide on pre- & post-workout meals is on our Thrive Training Irvine YouTube page. Link in bio.

Curl to Press Breakdown with Coach

A lot of people think the curl to press is just an arm exercise, but the real goal is maintaining full-body stability while moving the weight with control.

In this breakdown, Coach Chana walks through proper half-kneeling setup, core engagement, and alignment—covering common mistakes like arching the lower back, flaring the elbows, or losing wrist position—so you can protect your shoulders, stay balanced, and get more out of every rep.

Whether you’re building upper-body strength, improving core stability, or working on better control through pressing movements, dialing in this exercise makes a big difference.

Dumbell Squat to Press Breakdown with Coach

A lot of people think the squat to press is just about pushing weight overhead, but the real goal is moving power from the ground up while staying stable and controlled.

In this breakdown, Coach Chana walks through proper setup, safe dumbbell positioning, and the most common mistakes—like knees caving in or losing core tension—so you can generate power through your hips, protect your lower back, and press efficiently.

Whether you’re building full-body strength or improving coordination and explosiveness, dialing in this movement makes a big difference.
