Brandon Sowers
Founder and head coach
I was a college athlete who played basketball at a high level before going on to play professionally in Europe. After my time overseas, I attended an NBA combine in Orlando, Florida. It was the peak of everything I had worked for.
Then a series of injuries ended my career. Losing the game I loved was one of the hardest moments of my life, but it forced me to discover who I was beyond basketball.
I enlisted in the United States Military. During service and deployment I faced more setbacks: repeated surgeries, rehabilitation and long recoveries. I learned how quickly even the strongest body can change, and how easy it is to lose your sense of identity when your physical abilities are taken away.
Instead of letting that defeat me, I found a new purpose in fitness, rehabilitation and human performance. I pursued certification in personal training with one mission: helping athletes, service members and everyday people who struggle with injuries, setbacks and the fear of never feeling strong again.
As a trainer, I want to help people move better, feel stronger and change the course of their lives through fitness.

Sara Paritski
Trainer and boxing coach
I played soccer through college until a torn lateral meniscus ended my season. Recovering from surgery gave me a deep appreciation for the healing process. Rehab became more than physical therapy. It sparked my passion for exercise recovery and performance.
During that time I turned to boxing as both training and therapy, and I fell in love with the athleticism, discipline and mental strength it demands. I earned my Personal Training Certification through ISSA in 2021, and that same year I became an amateur boxer and boxing trainer. I later expanded into mixed martial arts and helped train fighters through their fight camps.
Most recently I've been training with a professional boxer and taking a hybrid approach: strength training combined with running and half-marathon prep. I love being part of someone's fitness journey and helping them change their mindset and lifestyle through coaching and meal planning.
