Monarch Athletic Club

Heidi D'Amelio joined Monarch when it first opened in 2020. She originally came in looking for a place to train since strength training had already been a big part of her life for years.

But what she found here was more than just a gym; she found a community.

While strength training itself wasn’t new to her, having a full team supporting her every day was. Instead of juggling multiple doctors and appointments across town, she can meet with Dr. Greene, work with our nutrition team, and get help from physical therapy whenever she needs it.

Now in her 50s, Heidi says she feels better than ever. Stronger, more confident, and more in tune with her body. For her, it’s simple: she just shows up, and the rest falls into place.

Our health is deeply personal. It’s your journey, your story. But that doesn’t mean you have to walk it alone. The real magic happens when you have people in your corner, when you know you’re supported.

Now imagine having an entire team backing you. How would you show up for yourself then?

For us, community means more than just being together. It’s about motivation, that extra push, understanding your rhythm, and celebrating every win (big or small.) Our team and community is here to recognize it all. It’s the foundation our ecosystem is built on, and it’s what brings our spaces to life with purpose and meaning.

Every member comes with their own goals and their own reasons for showing up. We want to be part of that story, so no one ever has to face their health journey alone.

Every member who walks into our club comes with a different goal in mind. For some it’s about building better habits, creating a routine, or growing in strength. When we first opened our doors in 2020, in the midst of a pandemic, our vision was to bring care that felt simple and accessible for everyone who walked in. Our ecosystem was designed to connect all the dots from strength, medicine, nutrition, physical therapy, and mind, so you have the foundation to achieve your best, whatever that may look like for you.

Investing in your health is essential to building that foundation. And when you invest in us, you’re really investing in yourself. Our team, guided by a holistic and personalized approach, is here to take you where you want to go and help you build something that lasts.

Here, you’ll learn more about your body and how it responds, with care that adapts to you in real time. Because health is freedom.

And were here to help more humans, be human.

The health and wellness industry is constantly evolving, and right now we’re witnessing tremendous change. The way we care for our health has shifted. With AI already shaping many of the platforms we use, its entry into our clubs is close at hand.

For Dr. Greene, AI has the potential to guide patients in powerful ways. Instead of waiting for an appointment or a call back, members could get real insights quickly and walk into conversations with their medical team better informed. With AI, history and metrics are already stored and ready to review, no need to repeat or retell your story.

Still, Dr. Greene sees one big challenge with AI integration: what he calls the “Dr. Google effect.” Medical information is becoming widely available to people without medical training. While that access can be useful, it will never replace the understanding and personal connection that comes from working directly with a physician or clinician.

His hope is for AI to serve as a tool for our team, not a replacement. A digital companion that supports members 24/7. He knows our members are busy, always on the move, and sometimes need that extra layer of support. That’s what we aim to provide.

AI can help streamline care and strengthen the connection between us and our members. But for Dr. Greene, it will never replace the human touch, the connection that can only happen within our walls.

Our third Monarch location is almost here—and we couldn’t be more excited to call Playa Vista our new home.

When Dr. Greene founded Monarch five years ago, his vision was clear: create a place where health and wellness could live together in one seamless ecosystem. He saw that fitness alone wasn’t enough, nor was nutrition, medicine, or recovery in isolation. What people truly needed was a foundation for life, where movement, healing, nourishment, and mindset were connected under one roof. That’s what Monarch was built to be.

From the very beginning, Monarch has been about more than just a gym or a clinic. It’s about belonging to a community where you feel supported, where experts from different disciplines work together for your well-being, and where every step you take brings you closer to your best self. Dr. Greene believed that by bringing these worlds together, we could empower people to thrive, not just get by and every Monarch club is an extension of that belief.

Now, we’re bringing this vision to Playa Vista. At the heart of it all is Runway, full of shops, dining, green space, and constant movement. It’s a place where familiar faces cross paths daily, where the rhythm of life creates connection. We knew right away that it was the perfect place to plant Monarch’s next ecosystem.

We can’t wait to welcome you into our newest club, a space to set new goals or strengthen existing ones, to connect with a vibrant community, and to know that you’ll always have a team walking alongside you.

Whether your goal is to build strength, optimize health, or enhance your wellness and longevity, our ecosystem offers tailored solutions with precision and e...

Chris Lake, DJ, music producer, and longtime Monarch member joined us on the latest episode of the *Monarch Metamorphosis Podcast* to share how he protects his health while building a career in one of the most demanding industries.

After watching Netflix’s new *I’m Tim* documentary on the life of Swedish DJ Avicii, Dr. Greene was inspired to emphasize why self-care and strong habits are so essential, especially for performing artists with intense, demanding schedules.

Even with over 100 performances per year, Chris has found ways to stay consistent, focusing on sustainable routines and leaning on a community that keeps him balanced, on and off the road.

Monarch was built to help people build healthy lifestyles that carry them through every stage of life, to bring life to every one of those years. We know what our why is. But what about our team do you, know theirs?

From our practitioners and coaches to our concierges, specialists, and support staff, everyone came here on purpose. They followed their passion. They brought their own stories, experiences, and ideas, all rooted in one thing: helping people live and feel more deeply. Everyone has their own why, and they’re living it through Monarch.

Our why isn’t singular, it’s built from the people who make this place what it is. Behind every win, big or small, is a team fueled by the desire to make someone’s life better. This isn’t just a job for them. It’s purpose. And that’s what makes Monarch, Monarch.

What if you had access to the same level of training, medical care, and recovery that your favorite athlete gets?

How would you feel if you could get everything they get all in one place?

Thats exactly why Monarch was created.

As Founder and Medical Director Dr. Ryan Greene puts it, “While I’m not paid to play a sport, my physiology isn’t any different from an athlete’s. So why should I not have access to the same level of support—to perform at my best?”

Monarch wasn’t just built for elite performers. It was built for you. Our ecosystem is personalized and integrated to ensure you're getting support that sets a foundation for life.

So how do we know you’re getting the best possible care?

As a former professional soccer player and current Monarch Director of Operations, Jordan, knows beyond training theres more to an athletes routine. You have to optimize performance by enhancing your recovery, prioritizing proactive medicine and of course strength building. You have a team dedicated to your performance.

As Jordan puts it, “The best athletes take ownership of what they can control off the field—sleep, nutrition, hydration, and personal recovery routines. That level of discipline is where progress is really made.”

At Monarch, you have an entire team working to not just support your health but your longevity. Our ecosystem is designed around you and no matter your goals are, know that we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.

You may have seen her around the Brentwood Club before, but have you really gotten to know Coach Kristina. On top of being a former competitive gymnast and collgiete soccer player, Kristian brings over 10 years of experience as a strength and conditioning coach.

So how did she get her start in this industry?

Her passion for training led her to purse a degree in Kinesiology and exercise science and from there she fell in love with the weight room even more. She says” “It wasn’t just about physical strength — it made me feel more confident, more capable, in every part of my life.”

Today, Kristina still has that same passion on and off the clock. She stays disciplined and determined in everything she does, especially after completing her very first Boston Marathon back in 2023.

That same drive led her to Monarch where she fell in love with the holistic model. “You rarely see training, Physical Therapy, nutrition, and medical all under one roof,” she explains. “It allows us to support clients in a much deeper, more integrated way.”

She connects with her clients every single day, always focused on making sure they leave feeling better than when they walked in. No matter the goal, Kristina ensures her clients feel seen, heard, and fully supported.
