Vallejo's Science-Backed Studio for Strength and Functional Fitness-Helping Women of All Ages Manage and Overcome Acute and Chronic Conditions

Strength for Real Life...Backed by Science
Science-backed boxing fitness and strength training designed to help your body move better, feel stronger, and stay sharp; physically and neurologically.
This isn’t just about workouts; it’s about supporting your entire body and brain. Whether you’re managing chronic conditions like arthritis, high blood pressure, or diabetes, working through metabolic disorders such as PCOS or insulin resistance, recovering from acute injuries, or simply wanting to stay sharp and capable as you age, this training meets you where you are.
By combining boxing drills, strength training, and mobility work, we focus on improving joint health, muscle strength, and neuromuscular control while also stimulating the brain’s pathways responsible for coordination, reaction time, and cognitive function. It’s a whole-body, whole-brain approach, internally and externally that works at any age.

Start Strong With a Personalized Assessment
Every journey begins with a 1:1 assessment—your opportunity to get clear on your goals, movement capabilities, and what’s safest for your body right now. During this session, we’ll review your health history, including any chronic conditions (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or arthritis), acute issues (like recent injuries or surgeries), and metabolic disorders (such as PCOS, insulin resistance, or thyroid dysfunction).
Why this matters: research shows that underlying conditions can directly influence how your body responds to training, recovers from workouts, and adapts to movement. By understanding these factors, we can design a program that supports your overall health while avoiding unnecessary strain.
From there, you’ll be guided onto the right path for your needs—whether that’s boxing fitness, strength training, mobility work, or a combination of all three.
Here’s what to expect:
Step 1: Book your assessment
Step 2: Receive a science-backed movement strategy and personalized plan designed around your health profile, goals, and current fitness level
Step 3: Begin weekly sessions or enroll in a program tailored to your body’s unique needs
What Happens After the Assessment?
Once we know what your body actually needs, we’ll map out the best next steps with no pressure and no guessing. Your assessment gives us the science we need to create a plan that works for you, not against you.
You might need to focus on building strength. You might need to improve mobility and movement patterns first. Or you might be ready to dive into a combination of boxing fitness, strength training, and neuromuscular work to sharpen both body and brain.
We’ll also take into account any chronic conditions, acute injuries, or metabolic disorders because the way your body responds to training, recovers, and adapts is directly influenced by these factors. That’s why a proper assessment matters.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. It’s a personalized path designed around your health profile, your comfort level, and your goals. You’ll walk away with a clear, science-backed strategy and an understanding of what to focus on next.
If you decide to keep working together, I’ll make sure your training evolves with you, reflecting exactly where you are now and where you want to go next.
