Mark your calendars for the Annual Easter Egg Hunt!

All Day April 3rd on both floors!

We have hidden Easter eggs all throughout the gym that are filled with dark chocolate tasty treats, Pro Shop credits, or the Golden Egg containing $20!

Trainers and clients can search for eggs during their workout sessions.

Don’t be shy… check under those dumbbells. Good luck with your search!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

After 22 years of strength training excellence, cutting-edge programming, and helping thousands of clients build stronger bodies…

We’ve decided it’s time for a bold new direction.

Starting April 1, DIASAHDI will officially transition to a Zone 1 Cardio Only™ training facility.

That’s right.

No barbells.�No kettlebells.�No sled pushes.�No heavy squats.

Just pure, slow, low-intensity movement. Because the newest research suggests the real secret to elite performance is moving… as gently as possible.

Our New Programming Includes

• 45-Minute Sensory Deprivation Treadmill Strolls (with a spotter)�• Cycling Visualization (Seated on the bike, no pedaling)�• 60 - 90min Foam Rolling Sessions�• Downstairs Walking (we are reversing all of our stair climbers)�• Virtual Reality Walking Clubs (from the comfort of a chair)

Please note: if your heart rate accidentally reaches Zone 2, your trainer will politely ask you to slow down immediately.

Our New Mission:
Helping San Francisco’s professionals achieve peak performance through maximum relaxation and minimal effort.

Because the only way to survive in this world is to move as slowly as possible.

Do it All. Slow As Hell Doing It. “DIASAHDI”

Proudly announcing this change on April 1st. A day often set aside for things that are not real. But this is most definitely real, right?

DIAKADI is excited to welcome our newest coach, Mya Elkins ()!

Meet Mya:

“Hi, I’m Mya Elkins. I grew up dreading the middle school mile, and now I run marathons. My personal fitness journey showed me how deeply it can change your life, both physically and mentally. Instead of continuing my masters in psychotherapy I found that helping people through movement can be even more valuable and life changing than therapy.

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned on my own and applied it to my training philosophy. I take a holistic approach; integrating strength, mobility, and cardio to build resilient, capable bodies that support your life in and out of the gym. Training with me is all about pushing past limits, building real confidence, and realizing you’re far more capable than you think.”

Ask the Coach: What is your favorite non-fitness hobby, and how does it help you maintain a healthy lifestyle?

Because life outside the gym matters too, our coaches share their favorite non-fitness hobbies.

Natalie (): “I LOVE thrift shopping, and it supports my healthy lifestyle in a few ways: 1) I like to dress sharp for my DIAKADI clients, so finding cheaper fitness gear is fun for my closet and my wallet. 2) It's better for the environment, so my shopping habit is actually "saving the planet" lol. 3) Thrifting is a MUST when I travel; It's how I find unique souvenirs that remind me of my trips.”

Ethan () : “Although non-fitness hobbies are a shortcoming in my personality, which may torment me as I age, I do enjoy brain tickling puzzles and games! Sudoku, Minesweeper, sports trivia, and board games with friends are my go-to's. This helps me avoid excessive Tik Tok and Instagram doom scrolling which is not good for anyone's wellbeing! Anything that can distract me from brain rot is a plus in my book!”

Proof that a healthy lifestyle goes way beyond the gym. What’s yours?

High performance starts with the standards you hold yourself to.

At DIAKADI, even trainers have a plan when they train. Our coaches approach their own workouts with the same level of precision, structure, and intent that we bring to our clients.

Coach Sebastian Hagemeyer () works through his own training session, building strength and control while continuing to develop the same systems and standards he applies with clients.

Advanced coaching is not only built through education and experience. It is built through practice, self assessment, and a commitment to continual development.

Strong climbers do not just train grip strength. They build strength and control throughout the entire body.

In this series, DIAKADI coach Zach Karcher () highlights key physical qualities that support efficient movement on the wall:

• Rotational strength and control for improved body positioning
• Pulling strength for powerful moves and lock offs
• Core stability to transfer force between the upper and lower body
• Shoulder resilience to support long term climbing performance

Whether you are preparing for outdoor climbing or building strength in the gym, developing these foundational qualities can improve performance and help reduce injury risk.
