Bethany grew up in Poway, California and has always been involved in sports and fitness; from gymnastics, to skiing, to playing soccer on scholarship at Biola University.
Like many moms, losing the baby weight was a roller coaster, but under Cat’s direction it finally all clicked, and with that came a desire to help coach others. As an ACE certified personal trainer Bethany is known for absolutely killing it on Small Group and Personal Trainings. And, when it comes to her Spinning® classes expect a fun, high energy packed house!
Whether you’re training for a triathlon, or simply have a desire to lose the baby weight too, this 5 foot bundle of energy will be there to encourage and coach you through it with a lot of laughter along the way.
Training Philosophy

Want to know who the starting pitcher was for any MLB team in 1992? Ask Brian. He seems to know every sports stat out there! Especially for any Boston teams, since that’s where he was born and raised; FANatic about his Red Sox and Pats. He played baseball and football from the time he could run or hold a mitt all the way into college. Speaking of college, Brian has a BA from Colby College in Maine, an MBA from Northeastern and is currently a finance executive at a Fortune 50 company, but one of his favorite accreditations is his newest, his SPINNING® certification!
Despite a heavy interest in athletics and sports, Brian’s weight and fitness level have ebbed and flowed over the years with “rock bottom” coming ~ 5 years ago when he lost his commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Guess where he found that commitment again? Studio SWEAT! With the support, guidance and encouragement from Cat and the amazing trainers at Studio SWEAT, Brian shed close to 60 pounds the RIGHT way – healthy eating, exercise, hard work and a whole lot of fun! Brian LOVES working out, everything sports related and most especially spending time with his family and friends. Oh, and you’ll see when you take his classes they’re pretty hard, but he always inserts a little humor into the mix making them insanely fun.

I worked as a technology consultant and engineer for many years, using my Business & Technology Degree from the University of Washington, but after years of doing that I decided that life was too short to keep doing something I didn’t love. I had always been involved in fitness to some degree. My first job at the age of 16 was at a gym in Palmdale, CA. With that said, I dove in and started working on becoming a certified personal trainer to supplement my group fitness instruction. My first certification was in Spinning because I LOVE SPINNING! Best workout I had ever experienced and loved that anyone could do it and that everyone left looking like they had been hit by a fire hose. I really plunged into the fitness world when I bought my gym in Washington State. Even as the owner managing the business, I continued training clients and leading group exercise. Why? Because THAT is what I love doing. I’m passionate about it! I live the life and help others do the same. When I moved to San Diego in July of 2009 I really had no intention of opening another operation, but it’s just in my blood. A couple of months later I started leading Fitness Camps, then at the end of February 2010 Studio SWEAT was born. My goal was the same as it always has been. Create a welcoming environment where people feel comfortable no matter what fitness level they currently are. Along with that, show them they are capable of more than they ever imagined. When people walk in the door they feel at home. When they leave they are drenched in sweat and proud of what they just did. I love my job.

A driven competitor, Chavva has been a sports lover for as long as she can remember. Her first love was soccer, playing for over 30 years, including college and now plays in a co-ed indoor soccer league with her husband. She also grew up running Track and Cross Country, leading to running races as an adult with distances from 5k to 50 miles!
But as competitive as Chavva is, those weren’t enough, so in her early 20s, she thought it would be fun to learn how to box. After a few years of training, she began to fight competitively. Once she stopped competing, she continued to train younger fighters and also teaches group boxing/kickboxing classes for adults and children.
Chavva received a Bachelor’s Degree from SDSU in Kinesiology for Athletic Training. Because of her love for sports she decided to focus her career on Functional and Sports specific training. She holds certifications including NASM CPT, MDA Spin Instructor, Stages Cycle/Flight Instructor, TRX Instructor.
Chavva currently trains athletes and “non-athletes” in boxing, kickboxing, running, cycling, functional training and general strength and conditioning. She’s an endurance junkie, loving anything that pushes her body and mind to the limits, and is excited to share that passion with you!

Canadian born and Chicago raised! Her love for athletics was handed down to her by her incredibly talented parents. She grew up playing sports year round and being raised in a city with one of the best sports cultures to date.
Elli’s husband and she relocated to San Diego going on 4 years ago and are enjoying raising their three kids there! She says, “It’s truly my passion just to make sure people have a great time while getting their body moving! I lead with my heart and never give up on those I’m invested in. My favorite part of any industry I’ve worked in is the connections I’ve made. I love being a constant in someone’s journey through health and I did that long before I became a certified instructor. I look forward to the ways I can continue to make an impact! I’m new to the industry but not the idea. I am SO excited to learn, grow and be a part of the Studio SWEAT team!”
Training Philosophy
Have fun. Honestly! I like to smile when I sweat. We spend so much time being tense or stressed, when I come to the gym to teach I want it to be the best part of your day! Your family away from your family. I like to be silly and keep it light so as you truly feel the burn and the pain of a good workout you also feel the fun of pushing yourself to incredible limits. It makes it light and it makes it fun. If I can push you 2 minutes longer or 15 reps more without you knowing it, I’m doing my job right. Plus, throwing in a little dance move never hurt nobody!

BUSY. I like a lot of compound movements, intervals and rotating stations. If I can change it up and keep my team engaged then we are all having fun.

When you meet Fred, the first thing you will notice is his passion for exercise. And no surprise – he has been into fitness since the age of 12 when he traded his bicycle to a neighborhood friend for a weight-lifting set (adding to his existing collection). Every day as a kid, he knocked on every door in the neighborhood, gathering other kids to play football and baseball in the street, and lift weights after.
As a high school football stand-out, Fred earned a scholarship to Northwest Community College and THE Ohio State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and Sports Leisure Management.
Fred REALLY loves being around people, exercising, and creating a safe environment, so he got his ACE Personal Training Certification while coaching high school football. Falling in love with group exercise after taking his first indoor cycling class, he wasted no time getting Keiser and Stages Cycling Certifications. The rest is history.

Born & raised in the Oregon rain, to relocate to Cali sunshine and blue skies! This girl grew up in the beautiful outdoors of the PNW. Running outside in the rain, snow, gray to playing sports(soccer/basketball) in college, and pursuing a B.S. Nursing degree. Once graduated and moved to San Diego for some much needed sunshine and beginning her ER Nurse career, life happened. Working in a chaotic, stressful environment, she needed an outlet & needed to get back to a fit lifestyle. Her Friend and fellow SSoD trainer Elli, convinced her to try out Studio SWEAT, for a first time spin class two years ago. After this first class, the rest is history.
Studio SWEAT has changed my life and given me my groove back. Spinning became a 5 day a week outlet and it worked. The lifestyle to change to happy, healthy and stress free from exercise was key. After a year of being a client at Studio SWEAT, Jessica flipped the script and got her NASM CPT certification, a TRX Cert and eventually her Spinning Certification. Once she felt like Studio SWEAT was her home and she could help change lives and lifestyles for the better outside of the hospital setting she was hooked! All Jessica has ever wanted is to help people, take care of people and educate people on how to live their best lives.
Training Philosophy
Exercise to me is meant to relieve stress, get outside of your own head and daily life for that moment, live in the now, be present and let that sh*t go and if you get fit in the process and feel like the best version of you, then success is had.
Training Style
My style has always been slap on that smile, crank up some good tunes and Jam! I write every class to have a good time. I want every class to forget about their day, and just be present in the dance it out of class, SWEAT out toxins and build some much needed muscle and tone to our bodies to stay up right and taking nourishment. I want you to feel stronger after every class, I want you to feel happy and high on endorphins after every ride. My promise is to always make you smile and laugh at my comedic hour of class.

Training Philosophy
I love the saying perfect practice makes perfect….not
Practice makes perfect.
You must train the way you want to perform. Focus on all aspects of your goals not just one.
You cannot train 80% most of the time and expect to have your 100% effort improve. To get the results I want I usually have to work 3-4x harder than I ever thought…
Training Style
I train side by side with every one of my clients (which sometimes is very hard at the end of the day when your body thinks it has given everything it has to give.) But it’s the perfect motivator because if I can do it you can do it. I don’t ever ask my clients to do something I cannot do with them and show them proper form before, and during. I think that’s why I love what I do so much 😛
It’s totally interactive not just telling someone: ” do 20 push-ups, 10 burpies then …..”

I am all about the “why” in fitness! We’re obviously going to have fun and work hard, but it’s extra important to me that we understand why and how each exercise is performed. I’m big on progressions, corrections, and hands-on adjustments & assists.
Training Style
My training style is, progressive, creative, and athletic. I have a lot to say and am constantly cueing throughout my workouts. Prepare to learn, sweat, and leave feeling invigorated!

Tatiana says, “Exercise and nutrition have been my passions my entire life.” She is a NASM certified personal trainer with a degree in Kinesiology Pre-Physical Therapy. She also teaches barre, Pilates, bootcamp, suspension, kettlebell, Spinning and battle rope group exercise classes.
Tati, as we like to call her, competed in gymnastics for her entire childhood and most of her teen years. She says that, “gymnastics has had a huge influence in teaching me about proper body alignment and the importance of form. It has also taught me the importance of implementing core strength and flexibility in your daily fitness routine. It taught me a lot about pushing myself, about patience, about not giving up on your goals, and about the desire to become your very best self.” During this time she was required to do a lot of rehabilitation exercises which inspired her to major in Kinesiology, Pre-Physical Therapy at San Diego State University. There she studied biomechanics of the human body, anatomy, physiology, sports psychology, nutrition, corrective, functional and adaptive exercise techniques and much more over the course of four years.
Studying the human body and the impacts various exercise styles, movements, and foods have on it brought Tatiana to where she is today and she truly believes that exercise is the best medicine. “The energy you feel when your exerting yourself and working your hardest, especially around people with similar goals and mindsets is truly addicting.”
Training Philosophy
Train the same, stay the same. Every workout should be slightly different, rather it’s a different cadence, different amount of reps, different exercise entirely, different challenge or just going into your workout with a different mindset. We are ever evolving, and should continue to push ourselves as so and be open to new styles, new experiences, and new opportunities both in and out of the gym to continue progressing.
Training Style
Perfect form and alignment, mixed with innovative exercises, and a don’t stop mentality.
