Your Coaches
Coach Jen
My history in endurance sports was a natural one – I grew up swimming, biking, and running in the Caribbean before moving to California. As I’ve grown in life and sport I’ve never lost my passion for training, having fun, making friends, and finding new ways to move my body and find a new adventure.
My goal is to help you find a new adventure! Let’s define your goals, and develop some balance, FUN, and enjoyment in reaching your personal health, fitness, or athletic goals. I LOVE to support people in their lifetime fitness journey - it is my passion and what I have focused my entire career on - LIFETIME FITNESS and Well-being. Let’s dive into together, carve out a plan that fits you, and let’s have some fun doing it!
What do I do for fun?? When not training or racing, I love to travel to new places, play with my Pilates and yoga practice, and cook up a new adventure or athletic goal with my friends. I also always enjoy sharing a tall tale or snacks on the trails or roads and volunteering with Canine Companions for Independence. Most of all I LOVE spending time with my family - especially my rescue Chihuahua Liliana Judith (aka Lily :). What else do you want to know about me?
Oh yeah - why Pilates and yoga? After a really bad bike accident broke my body (but not my spirit) I found that adding a regular practice really helped me. A regular practice has helped me build a new foundation and way of being. My practice has helped me keep pursing an athletic lifestyle in a healthy, sustainable way both on and off the mat. I have found Pilates and yoga keeps me grounded, hopeful, and working through the roller coaster of life. Most of all my practice always reminds me that the skies the limit! As always....
Enjoy your training and the ride,
🌺Jen

Coach Dave
When it comes to coaching, My Philosophy is simple: Provide athletes with professional, educated recipes that are process oriented as we work together toward their goals. Considering every aspect of the athlete’s life is of utmost importance in my teaching and coaching. My ambition is to challenge and support an individual in a way that promotes long term physical, psychological, and spiritual growth.
Over the last 25+ years being involved with endurance sports, coaching, and teaching, I realize that sport is engrained in my DNA and I continue to be very passionate about coaching. Furthermore, I have come to realize that many of you out there can learn from all of my experiences, and my mistakes!
During a life time involvement in education, sport and competition, I have learned from tremendous people, experiences, and relationships. Combine these experiences with my education and I have a wealth of information that I want to share with others. Through coaching, teaching, race announcing and speaking I have created an avenue of learning for people who choose to incorporate the process of endurance sports training into their life. If I can help you, or answer any questions, please don’t be afraid to contact me.
Enjoy your endurance journeys!
Cheers,
Dave 😎
