Who We Are

Danesh Ajioka

I have been in the fitness industry for over a decade and have experience training for sports performance and general fitness.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology as well as minors in nutrition and entrepreneurship from the University of Utah.

I am a NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist as well as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. I’ve worked with a wide variety of clients ranging from junior athletes, NFL players, and my 102 year old grandmother. 

I am passionate about health and fitness and I can’t wait to meet you and help you with your fitness journey!

Caleb Wright

My name is Caleb Wright and I’m a fitness coach with 8 years of experience.

I’m a veteran of the U.S. Army of 8 years and I first got into fitness when I was in the military. I competed in a Battalion level 1,000lb club competition in 2017 and have been hooked on strength training ever since.

I’ve competed in several strength competitions around the U.S. since and plan to continue to do so for multiple decades to come. There’s only one thing I enjoy more than competing and that’s coaching, I can honestly say that I care more about my clients' accolades than my own.

I have multiple certifications in several categories with an emphasis on strength and conditioning and I strive to continue learning more. Currently my focus on education is studying Psychology at SLCC.

I’m looking for progression, not perfection.
