Squid Carter

Squid Carter

A lifelong athlete with fitness ingrained into every part of her life, Squid has learned as much from training as she's put into it. She coaches to share that knowledge — making what she's figured out through years of practice accessible to everyone she works with.

CPT Nutrition
Jay Butts

Jay Butts

Coach
Corrective Exercise · Nutrition

Jay came to coaching with a clear conviction: access to movement and preventive health shouldn't depend on where you grew up or what resources you had. A psychology background combined with NASM specializations in corrective exercise and flexibility means every session is as much about understanding the person as it is about the workout. The approach: learn to listen to your body, understand what it's telling you, and build a movement practice that actually fits your life.

Zei Johnson

Zei Johnson

Coach
Strength & Conditioning Specialist

Zei found a path into coaching through personal transformation — working out of a depressive episode in college, near 300 pounds, by discovering that movement is medicine for the body and the mind. That experience shaped a conviction that runs through every session: there's no type of person who belongs in only one type of workout. The goal is to find each client a form of movement that's genuinely theirs — sustainable, empowering, and built to last.
