About Us
Jake and Lisa have been working as fitness professionals in Albuquerque, New Mexico since September of 2005. Both arrived in the state ready to instill their fresh and innovative fitness techniques in full force.

Through many years as an amateur wrestler in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin I developed a strong love for completely functional fitness. I soon became extremely dedicated to training and preparing for competition, believing that through strength-training and conditioning all challenges could be overcome. My obsession was evident as I enjoyed preparing to compete as much as I did competing. Thus, my lifestyle was formed and a career born. I began training wrestlers while in college and upon graduation broadened my scope to include clients of all backgrounds and goals.
Every great achievement starts with a challenge or a goal. I have a deep passion and belief in health and fitness; those two words should be synonymous with life and living as without them we are leading unfulfilled lives. As a fitness professional I am here to motivate and provide intensity to your workouts and be a driving force in your fitness. Let me be a part of your success and let’s accept the challenge and achieve your goals in an efficient, functional manner!
Lisa Templeton:

- Certified Personal Trainer.
- Performance Enhancement Specialist.
- Specializes in core, functional and endurance athlete training.
I have always worked in the health field. As a Registered Nurse, I was in charge of a large oncology unit for many years. I saw up close what it means to not have your health. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work as a nurse was teaching patients how to live as healthy and active a life as possible within the limitations of their illness/treatments. The belief in the transforming power of functional physical exercise and healthy nutrition has driven me to become a fitness professional.
My personal experience as a competitive marathon runner has taught me what it means to be able to draw deep and pull something out of yourself that you did not know was even possible. I believe that we all have that potential within us at whatever level of fitness we start at.
I believe deeply in the balance between body, mind and spirit. As your fitness professional I will help you to increase your energy, optimize your health, improve your personal performance, reduce stress, eliminate wasted time in the gym, make your body strong and fully functional!
