Whether it’s hiking, camping, or boating she's there! Meeting new people from different backgrounds is something Gianna really values, along with being able to connect with others through mindful movements.

Jake Trischler (He/Him) is an NCSF-certified personal trainer, pushing over a decade of experience in the gym. Jake has worked with clients from ages 13 to 96, affording him a bevy of experiences & expertise in strength training & weight loss, but has continued to orbit his calling card & personal interests in corrective exercise, range-of-motion, injury recovery, & anti-aging techniques as he, himself, gets closer to claiming a senior citizen discount at the Old Country Buffet, & wants to do so with great health & impeccable posture. Scouring for the ideal fundamentals of body wellness & vitality -- like Nicolas Cage searching for a map on the back of the Declaration of Independence -- Jake found his national treasure in the curriculum of flexology. From the office to athletics, from prenatal to post-op, he has a wealth of experience in working with clients ailed by a litany of issues. In addendum to that, Jake is a degree-carrying film school grad, with a focus on writing/directing -- which his obnoxious & garrulous prose, alongside Nicolas Cage references -- might potentially indicate. Whatever your goals may be, Jake will help you achieve them & enjoy the journey.
