I know firsthand how important to is to feel strong and capable in your own body. I was a volleyball player for over 11 years and began weightlifting early on in high school. Due to my own health reasons I decided to discontinue my volleyball career, but instead continue lifting because building up my strength was a feeling like no other. My goal for every client is to bring them that same confidence and help them to feel in total control of their fitness.

Jesse Pleiman

I am a Denver native who grew up being active and playing sports, my favorites being basketball, football, and golf. I have a drive for helping others achieve their fitness and wellness goals. In 2006, I started my fitness journey by losing 100 pounds. It was a life-changing experience which led me to pursue my B.S. in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, my ISSA personal training certification, and most recently my certification of CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist). I love working with athletes and helping them improve on their performance through the right exercise prescription. 

I know from personal experience that life isn’t easy, and you must find ways to overcome challenges both mentally and physically. I have dealt with challenges such as battling frozen shoulder in both shoulders at the same time, and a ruptured patella tendon injury. These both required hours of physical therapy so I can relate to starting exercise from square one. Helping clients find a good foundation of mobility, balance, stability, lifting techniques, and progressive strength training plan is my job. With a good training regime, combined with a proper nutrition plan, clients will have their lives changed forever. Think about having a better quality of life, better sleep, improved physical performance, improved self-esteem, increased cognitive abilities, increased lean body mass, increased bone density, strengthened joints, and a reduction in pain and stiffness.  I am excited to continue to help the community reach their fitness and wellness goals.

Willie Tibbetts

My introduction to fitness was running.  
Trying to keep up with my older brother when I was 10 and then joining the Jr high school track team.  As I progressed to high school cross-country and track, the head coach said “If you’re strong, you will never fall apart”.  
I started strength training when I was 16 years old and I have kept it in my training regime since.  
I’ve received comments during my road racing years, “you’re too anaerobic to be a distance runner.”
I made it to the Olympic Marathon Trials.
I received comments during my bodybuilding years, “are you sure? You’re kind of small.”
I was a champion of a bodybuilding show once.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Some said “slow down” and asked, “Aren’t you afraid?”
I’m fully recovered and back in action.
Do not let what others say define you.
Be who you want to be.
You have goals.
We are all athletes.
Embrace what you can do. 
Celebrate the small things.
Small things lead to big things, so keep moving.
We’re in this healthy lifestyle together.

Vy White

Several years ago, a trainer shared a mantra with me: “Progress, not perfection.” This idea has been a guiding principle throughout my fitness journey. Starting a new program can seem daunting, and motivation alone isn't always enough. With over 20 years of coaching experience, I am deeply committed to the philosophy of “wellness before sickness.”

I have had the privilege of training clients ranging in age from 10 to 89, proving that age is just a number. It’s possible to reverse the effects of aging because exercise truly is medicine. Recently, I've been focusing on the Bonefit program, which emphasizes managing and even reversing osteoporosis. I have developed a specialized exercise program targeting osteopenia, osteoporosis, and sarcopenia, incorporating both prehab and rehab techniques. Additionally, I also work with athletes to help them reach their peak performance.

Originally from California, I relocated to Colorado 30 years ago and have come to appreciate everything this state has to offer. As a sports enthusiast, you'll often find me either cheering at my son's basketball or volleyball games or participating in various sports myself.
