Bri Bartlett

Fitness Philosophy
Fitness is not just about building strength or achieving an ideal body; it’s a natural way to heal the mind and body. Through mindful movement, whether it’s strength training, yoga, or a simple walk, we can restore balance, release tension, and find clarity while enhancing our body. By listening to our bodies and focusing on consistency over intensity, we allow ourselves to grow steadily. Fitness becomes a practice of self-care—where physical movement connects us to the present moment. It’s a journey of progress, not perfection, where each step toward wellness is an opportunity to reconnect with our true selves.

Jesse Mathers

Fitness Philosophy
My fitness philosophy is built on the belief that training is more than physical, it’s mental, emotional, and lifelong. Strength training, hypertrophy, cardiovascular health, and functional movement are my foundation, but I emphasize more than just the core or the “show muscles.” Accessory muscles matter just as much, because they are what keep the body balanced, prevent injury, and support performance in daily life and athletics. With my background in pre-athletic training and pre-physical therapy, I approach fitness as both growth and medicine: training not only to improve strength and muscle but also to protect the body, speed recovery, and extend longevity. I believe fitness should be accessible at every age and for every ability. A few consistent hours each week are all it takes to transform how people move, feel, and live. Training isn’t punishment; it’s an investment that builds confidence, resilience, and freedom. This being the freedom to move without pain, to stay active longer, and to push past limitations both inside and outside the gym.

My goal is to help clients become the best versions of themselves by fostering a deeper understanding of fitness and nutrition as tools for lifelong wellness. With passion, creativity, and care, I design personalized programs tailored to each client’s needs and aspirations.

Justin Offutt

Fitness Philosophy
I believe fitness is a duality of body and mind. Drawing from East Asian philosophies, I see that a strong body builds a strong mind, and a strong mind cultivates a stronger body. A balance of both is essential for a healthy, long, and successful life in everything you do.

Having been at one point clinically obese, another underweight, and now with a physique that a younger version of me would think to be impossible, I understand more than most the profound effect that your body can have on every aspect of your life. It's not just about a number on the scale; it's about confidence, discipline, and the ability to do the things you love.

Whatever your goal may be, whether it's to bench press 225 pounds, finish your first half marathon, move with more ease, have more aesthetic proportions, or simply have the energy to play with your kids… I am here to provide a dependable and exact plan to get you there. My science-based, systematic approach is designed to produce tangible, lasting results.

Katie Landrum

Fitness Philosophy
Fitness is a journey that starts with one step and continues another step at a time. Movement and exercise should be enjoyable and rewarding rather than tolerated. Your body was made to move and knows what to do once it gets a nudge in the right direction!

Working together as a team, we can find movement and fitness that fits your body and your lifestyle and work towards goals one step at a time.

Vi Bhargava

Fitness Philosophy
I believe a fitness program should be enjoyable, sustainable, and it should deliver results. My philosophy is that fitness should enrich your life, not take it over. This concept is especially important for individuals who are busy daily (like students or people who work long hours). With this is in mind, I typically only train hard three times per week. Rest days are just as important as training days. Because of all these rest days, you never get burnt out. Instead, you can come into each workout feeling fresh, focused, and ready to hit personal records.

Each session, the focus is to make small improvements on exercises from the session prior. This can be done by adding one or two reps, adding five pounds to the exercise, slowing down the tempo, decreasing the rest interval, adding more difficult variations, and/or improving form. Think about it. Say on week one of a training program, person X can do five reps with 95 pounds on incline barbell bench press. If X can add 10 pounds to that exercise each month, then in six months they will be able to press 155 pounds for five reps. At this point, X’s chest, shoulders, and triceps will have no choice but to develop in accordance to the increase in stimulus. Short-term micro improvements lead to massive changes in the long run.

When I was a freshman at IU, I struggled to get into the gym six times a week while maintaining my grades, a social life, and multiple hobbies. I was tired all the time. I was getting down on myself because I was skipping workouts and missing classes so I could sleep. This was not sustainable. When I cut that gym time in half, I had more energy than ever before, was seeing better results from my workouts, I was able to focus more on my other hobbies, I was able to enjoy time with my friends, and most importantly I was able to make it to class consistently. Everything is about balance. The gym no longer felt like a chore, it was something I began to look forward to.

Furthermore, the most important part of fitness is the journey. It is vital to drop the desire for instant gratification. Love and accept yourself as you are, strive for weekly improvements, and trust the process. As this process unfolds, an individual will eventually unlock a potential that they never knew they had. They will become more confident. This confidence will continue to grow. It will flow into other aspects of that person’s life (like in relationships, hobbies, schoolwork, their mood, job, etc.). This will make them a better rounded person overall. As I said before, fitness should enrich your life. It should bring value to your entire existence. To me, this holistic improvement is why I continue to work out, and why I want to introduce this lifestyle to others.
