Ask the Coach: If you could give your younger self one fitness tip, what would it be?

We asked our coaches what advice they would give their younger selves when it comes to fitness.

Coach Mya ():

“If I could give my younger self one fitness tip, it would be this: Try your absolute hardest. Stop fearing the judgment of others. Lean into what feels hardest and stick with it because it can become one of your greatest strengths. Remember almost fainting after the middle school mile? Use that as fuel, because one day you’ll become a marathoner, a personal trainer, and someone who builds community around running. Discipline will take you further than talent ever could, and the only way you can fail is if you stop trying.”

Coach Brendan ():

“Don’t let other people hold you back, but be aware the person most likely to do this is yourself. You can do it all and more.”

Progress is built in every phase.

Coach Jesse is currently training while rehabbing from a shoulder fracture and full ankle joint replacement. Right now, the focus is simple: easy does it. Each session is designed to rebuild strength, restore function, and stay consistent.

As he puts it, light weight does not mean light work. Fully engaging the muscles helps reactivate the nervous system and retrain the body.

Consistency and intention drive the process

The DIAKADI Gallery is honored to present the work of Brigid Horgan, now featured on the second floor of our facility.

Meet Brigid Horgan:

“Born and raised in Texas, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin’s College of Fine Arts with a B.A. in Studio Art and a B.F.A. in Visual Art Studies. I moved to California in 2001, and have been teaching art at a public school ever since. After 20 years of teaching, I went back to school part-time, and received a Masters in Art Education from Eastern Illinois University.

My approach to teaching art is discipline-based, incorporating art appreciation, art history, and art production into most of my curriculum, while also focusing on introducing students to art created by people from around our country and the world.

I am often asked what my favorite projects are that I do with kids. It’s generally what makes them excited, which are often choice projects, ceramics, printmaking, and perspective drawing. These projects seem to lend themselves to great moments of discovery and joy, whether it’s figuring out how to make a ceramic vessel not collapse in the moment, having that revelation of the print truly being backwards, or applying perspective skills to making something look 3D on a flat surface.

When I’m not being a teacher, I paint, try to keep up with my book club, and enjoy the beauty of nature as often as I can.”

Ask the Coach: “What is a common fitness/health myth that you find yourself frequently debunking?”

Tracy (): “A common misconception I address is that doing core exercises alone will shrink your waist. In reality, fat loss occurs throughout the body, not just in one specific area. Effective, lasting results come from a well-rounded program that includes full body strength training, increased daily activity levels, and healthy eating habits.”

AJ (): “One of the most persistent myths I encounter is the idea that you need to constantly rotate exercises or switch programs to keep your muscles ‘guessing.’ I like to compare training to learning a new language—if you switched from Spanish to Mandarin to French every few weeks, you'd never become fluent in any of them. Real progress comes from committing to the fundamentals, the squats, deadlifts, and presses that have stood the test of time, and building on them consistently. Chasing every new fitness trend is just starting a new language from scratch instead of getting fluent in the one that was already working.”
