Every trainer brings their own lived experience into the room, and that’s what makes our Integrative Fitness powered by LFG™—the intelligent combination of fitness & wellness—so powerful. Ethan’s background in kickboxing taught him discipline, commitment, & the importance of showing up for yourself even when life gets chaotic. At Live Fit Gym, we honor the full journey that shaped you. We meet you with empathy & expertise because your story matters: and every step you took to get here is part of your strength.

As we move into the holiday season, discipline becomes more than a routine—it becomes a grounding force.

Gratitude for movement, the ability to stay committed to your goals, and the self-worth to prioritize your well-being all become essential. Ethan trains from a place of understanding how personal history, resilience, & lived experience intersect. That intersection is where real growth happens, and it’s where our approach to Integrative Fitness powered by LFG™ comes alive.

• Ethan’s kickboxing background strengthens discipline and focus
• Integrative Fitness powered by LFG™ blends fitness & wellness: intelligently + holistically
• We honor your lived experience & meet you where you are

Breathwork is one of the most overlooked pillars of health--and Lexa understands that better than anyone. Across cultures and languages, breath and spirit are the same word: "pneuma" in Greek, "spiritus" in Latin, "ruach" in Hebrew, "prana" in Sanskrit. Breath is literally the bridge between the mind & the body. 🌬️

Dr. Andrew Weil of the University of Arizona’s Integrative Medicine program teaches that the breath is the ONLY voluntary way to influence your sympathetic & parasympathetic nervous systems. In your state of control: When you’re in a state of fight-or-flight, your breath becomes shallow & rapid. Your heart rate spikes. Your body tightens. Muscles guard. But when you shift into deeper diaphragmatic breathing, you activate your vagus nerve, soften pelvic floor guarding, & signal safety back into your system.

And here’s the part people forget:
When your body feels safe, your healing & immune systems finally get to work at full power--not halfway, not compromised by stress, but fully engaged. ✔️

As the holiday season brings its own emotional weight, working with a Certified Yoga Instructor like Lexa gives you something you can take anywhere: practices that regulate your nervous system, restore your grounding, & rebuild your internal sense of safety. Community matters. Healing in community matters. But so does learning how to access that sacred space within yourself, wherever you are--even if you’re traveling or dealing with life’s chaos.

At Live Fit Gym, we integrate evidence-based modalities with certified instructors & licensed practitioners who understand the whole human--body, breath, mind, & spirit. We’re proud to live fit & live well with you.

Burnout isn’t just physical exhaustion--it’s what happens when purpose & recovery fall out of alignment. ☯️ Research shows that when you lose connection to why you started, motivation drops, irritability rises, & performance declines. Overtraining without strategic rest pushes your nervous system into fatigue. Rest days are not a luxury: they are the mechanism that allows your muscles, brain, & motivation to rebuild. Recovery is part of the work.

Even with rest, doing the same solo routine [especially at home] can create its own form of burnout. The human body & brain adapt fast: repetition without progression leads to plateaus. This is where personal training & group classes become game-changers. A certified trainer brings structure, progression, and excitement back into your routine, while group classes add energy, accountability, & variety--the very things home workouts often can’t replicate.

Working out alone also means missing something deeper: community, support, & fulfillment. When you train in a gym that specializes in Integrative Fitness powered by LFG, you get access to the full ecosystem: training, recovery, wellness, & professionals who understand how your body adapts. Even more optimal: our professionals are Certified & Licensed--providing evidence based support, programming, & care.

You’re not just exercising. You’re rebuilding resilience, staying engaged, & celebrating small wins with people who actually want to see you succeed. That’s why shifting from isolation to a guided, community-driven environment makes all the difference. Prevent burnout in your fitness routine--start here:

We like to talk about the things in fitness and wellness that no one else is talking about. Emotional release during massage is one of them ✔️ It’s real, it’s human, & rooted in physiology. Through healthy touch, your body releases oxytocin—our most powerful anti-stress hormone & the very chemical tied to bonding and connection. Human beings are wired to attach. Attachment is a core human need: proven by decades of research & attachment theory. When someone has lived in fight-or-flight for too long, the system becomes overloaded.

Trauma, chronic stress, and emotional suppression don’t just “go away”—they live in the fascia, the nervous system, & the tissues that hold our experiences.

The brain is a bundle of nerves: all experience becomes memory. Those nerves branch into the body through the peripheral nervous system, meaning the body also keeps score of what we’ve survived. When a licensed massage therapist accesses tension in places where the system has stored overwhelm...emotional release can happen. Some people become tearful. Some feel unexpected joy. Some feel their guard drop for the first time in years. It isn’t weakness—it’s the body finally recognizing a moment of safety. 🙏

Stillness is one of the most powerful parts of this work. People who have lived in survival mode often feel unsafe in stillness; the nervous system expects danger, rejection, or impact. Massage invites regulated stillness—a centered presence where the body can finally exhale. That’s one of our core values at Live Fit Massage: honoring the intelligence of the body, the stories it carries, & the release it’s capable of when given the right conditions.

Massage isn’t “just for relaxation.” That’s the surface. Beneath it is nervous system regulation, emotional repair, attunement, & the kind of cathartic letting-go that transforms how you move through your life. This is the philosophy behind Live Fit Massage: science, compassion, and licensed hands guiding your body back to safety, connection, and relief.

Billy grew up believing pain was the price of being valuable. Wresting. Football. His athletic life started in Virginia. He was praised as the kid who never complained, the one who started every position because he pushed harder than everyone else. ✔️

But behind that resilience were years of untreated injuries--concussions brushed off, an ankle blown out, nerve symptoms ignored. 🏈 Every time his body signaled “stop,” the world around him said, “keep going.” By the time finished high school, he had already racked up damage that should’ve been taken seriously. He just didn’t know how to listen to himself yet.

The injuries got worse as life demanded more of him. 12 hour work shifts, repetitive motions, understaffed teams--Billy pushed through it all until the sharp pains down his legs turned into nights where he couldn’t sleep. His hands curled involuntarily [unknowing spinal injuries that got worse]. His feet went numb. There were mornings he woke up unable to control his bladder because the nerve compression was that severe. Workers’ comp dismissed him. Doctors downplayed & gaslit him. The systems meant to protect him failed: and he internalized it all as lack of worth. He felt, it was HIS fault.

If no one cared, maybe he didn’t deserve care.

His breaking point wasn’t a dramatic moment--it was the slow realization that pain had become his entire identity. The harsh self-talk, the exhaustion, the fear of being broken beyond repair. Billy knew he couldn’t keep living like that. He needed something different. Something that saw him. Something that treated his whole body, not just one symptom at a time.

Walking into Live Fit Gym became the moment his life shifted. For the first time, a doctor-led team actually listened. The Licensed Chiropractor validated his symptoms instead of minimizing them. SoftWave [treats injuries, reduces pain, uses your own natural stem cells] shattered years of scar tissue & helped bring sensation back into places that had gone numb. Corrective exercise with our Certified Personal Trainers rebuilt tiny stabilizers no coach had ever taught him to value.

He finally had a community that didn’t use him--it uplifted him. We see him.

Billy isn’t just recovering. He’s reclaiming the years his body kept the score. 💥 And today, he’s building a future where strength doesn’t come from pushing through pain, but from honoring it.

Berenice’s journey didn’t begin in a gym--it began on the mat. As a national-level Taekwondo competitor and instructor, she learned discipline, precision, & the kind of resilience that only comes from years of showing up with intention. That foundation shaped not just her athletic ability, but her character, her leadership, and her ability to guide others through growth that’s both physical & internal. 🥋🇰🇷

She deepened that calling with a master’s degree in Kinesiology from San Francisco State University, where a major knee injury became her turning point. Instead of stepping back, she stepped forward--studying mobility, recovery, biomechanics, & the psychology of rebuilding strength. She coached athletes, taught group fitness, & learned how to meet people exactly where they are.

Today, Berenice trains with the same heart she competed with. She blends martial arts discipline, scientific understanding, & genuine empathy to help clients move better, feel stronger, and transform from the inside out. Her work reflects the core of Live Fit Gym--intelligent, human, and rooted in a belief that every person’s journey deserves care, respect, & expertise.

At Live Fit Gym Castro, we know walking into a new class can stir up nerves: we’ve all been there! That’s why Min’s Lean Fit class isn’t about perfection or comparison.

Our classes are taught by certified experts. They have the skills to help modify, shift your form, & find the version of movement that works specifically for you. We believe training should fit the person, not the other way around. ✔️
