Gaithersburg, MD · In-Home, Studio & Online Coaching
“No matter where you’re starting, your best is still ahead of you.”
Five ways we work with people. Find the one that sounds like you — every plan starts there.
Speed, strength, and sport-specific training for middle school through varsity, built around practice and game schedules.
For athletes preparing for their first season at the next level, or fighting to stay there once they arrive.
Sustainable strength, fat loss, and confidence for people ready to feel like themselves again.
Strength training built around a woman’s body, goals, and stage of life — from a first competitive season to menopause.
Custom programming, check-ins, and real coaching from Angel or Michael, wherever you train.
Current college athletes we trained in high school, and clients who rebuilt their health from the ground up — in their own words.
Training with Coach Angel was both demanding and rewarding, preparing me for my first season of Division I college soccer. The environment pushed me to work hard, stay disciplined, and remain dedicated to my goals.
Morgan Shannon
UMD Women’s Soccer, Left Back
Coach Angel’s training impacted me not only in my physical training but also my mental training. All the things we did challenged me in different ways but allowed me to ultimately come out stronger.
Ava Grandi
High Point Women’s Lacrosse
Training with Coach Angel changed me in many ways that I didn’t know. It made me understand what real work looks like and how to do it. His training makes you understand how to be a dog, not just say it.
Karon Spencer
Temple University, Offensive Line
Coach Angel prepared me beyond my limits, pushing me every day to be the best version of myself and competing with everyone around me. This directly translates to the type of person I am and sets me up to compete every day in college.

70lbs lost
“Working with Angel has helped me lose over 70 pounds, but more importantly, it’s given me more confidence, energy, and a better quality of life. I’m stronger, healthier, and happier than I was before.”
Alex Giakoumatos
Personal Client
50lbs lost
“Since I started training with Michael, I lost over 50 pounds and completely transformed my relationship with fitness. That commitment carried over into my nutrition and overall lifestyle — it became a lifestyle I truly enjoyed.”
Helena Harris
Personal Client
“Working with Mike as my personal trainer over the past two years has been incredibly rewarding. He consistently goes above and beyond, helping me achieve my weight loss and strength goals while motivating me to push beyond what I thought I was capable of.”

Two coaches who’ve lived both sides of the work — the doubt, the restart, and the breakthrough.
Angel Arevalo
Co-Founder & Head Coach
“Whether you’re an athlete chasing your next level or someone just trying to feel like yourself again, I know what it’s like to want more for yourself. I lost over 100 pounds, and that journey taught me that every goal, from a new PR to the first run of a HYROX, comes down to the same things: showing up, trusting the process, and having someone in your corner.
I’m here to be that person for you. No matter where you’re starting, your best is still ahead of you.”
Michael Zuniga
Co-Founder & Head Coach
“There’s no substitute for hard work.” Through years of training, coaching, and competing in everything from powerlifting to marathons, one thing has stayed constant: hard work. Whether you’re training to score the game-winning touchdown or simply to keep up with your kids, every goal requires commitment and consistency.
As a coach, my goal is to meet you where you are, guide you through the process, and help you realize what you’re truly capable of. Everyone’s journey may look different, but one thing remains the same: the work never lies.”
“We don’t believe in cookie-cutter programs, because there’s no such thing as a cookie-cutter person. We take the time to learn you: how your body responds, what your life looks like outside the gym, and what’s really holding you back. Then we build a plan that fits you, and we adjust it as you grow.”
“We’ve been on both sides of this. We know what it’s like to doubt yourself, to start over, and to finally break through. That’s why we coach with patience, honesty, and belief in you, even before you believe in yourself.”
The same process whether you’re training for varsity tryouts or your first 5k.
We learn your goals, your movement, your schedule, and what’s actually holding you back — before we write a single workout.
No cookie-cutter programs. Your plan is built around your body, your sport or goal, and your life outside the gym.
In-home, in your apartment gym, at our studio, on the field, or online — wherever training actually fits your life.
We check in, measure what’s working, and adjust the plan as you grow. Your program evolves with you.
How training is delivered — pick the format that fits your schedule and budget, then we’ll match it to your pathway.
Fully personalized coaching, in-home, in your apartment gym, or at our studio.
Split the cost and the motivation — train alongside a friend, sibling, or partner (2–3 people).
Team-style intensity for groups of 4–6, including middle school and team-wide athlete groups.
Custom programming in an app, with four tiers from self-guided to full hybrid coaching with in-person sessions.
Full pricing breakdown for every tier is in the FAQ below.
Training more often earns a lower per-session rate. Here’s where plans start:
Sessions 30+ minutes from Gaithersburg may include a small travel fee, waived for groups of 4 or more. Exact plans, payment, and billing are handled securely through our ForActive client account once we’ve matched you to a program.
Monthly plans bill in advance on the 1st, on autopay through ForActive. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice count as used. If our pricing changes, current clients keep their existing rate.
We coach middle schoolers through adults. Youth and teen athletes train at the same small-group rate as our older athletes, with programming built around growth, technique, and long-term development — not just chasing numbers.
We’re based in Gaithersburg, MD and regularly train clients across Potomac, Olney, Rockville, and Germantown. Most 1:1 and partner sessions happen in-home or in your apartment gym.
We also have a private training studio. Once we’ve connected and you’re ready to commit to in-person studio sessions, we’ll share that location directly. Speed, agility, and field-based sessions are typically hosted at Good Counsel High School.
Online coaching works from anywhere. Choose Program (a custom plan in an app, updated monthly), Coaching (plus weekly check-ins, form video reviews, and messaging), Premium (plus a 30-minute video call every two weeks), or Hybrid (online coaching plus two in-person sessions a month).
