WHO I AM
My fitness philosophy centers on building strength through mind-body connection, intentional movement, and resilience.
CHRIS TEJEDA
Owner | Lead Trainer
Fitness has been central to my life since I first stepped into a weight room. As a high school powerlifter, I qualified for state competitions and discovered a passion for strength training that shaped my career. Early on, I had the privilege of completing a practicum at the University of Texas, learning under legendary coaches Jeff “Mad Dog” Madden and Donnie Mabe, and an internship at Train for the Game, where I became familiar with functional movement and three-dimensional training.
From there, I gained valuable experience working with a wide variety of clients at 24 Hour Fitness, Orange Theory Fitness, and Austin Simply Fit. Along the way, I rose to management, coached one-on-one and group sessions, and learned the ins and outs of gym operations.
Now, as the owner of my own fitness business, I combine years of experience with a constant drive to keep learning. I’m committed to staying on top of the latest research and training techniques so I can deliver effective, science-backed results for my clients. Fitness is always evolving, and so am I—because when I grow, my clients do too.
KILA
Furry Mascot
Hi, I’m Kila, the gym’s furry mascot! I’m named after ‘kilogram’ because I’m all about strength and power, but with a heart full of sweetness. I’m a playful and affectionate dog who loves motivating gym-goers to push their limits.
Whether I’m wagging my tail in excitement, offering a lick as a sweet ‘thank you,’ or letting out an encouraging bark, I’m here to cheer you on. My playful nature and boundless enthusiasm make me the perfect gym buddy to help you stay motivated, focused, and ready to tackle your fitness goals!
EXPERIENCE MATTERS
With a background in competitive athletics and strength training, I bring a well-rounded approach to fitness that blends performance, resilience, and science-backed coaching.
