Rebecca Thompson - Owner/Manager

A.A.S. Fitness Specialist at Lake Washington Technical College. Fitness Together Certified. Resist-A-Ball certified. Adult and Child CPR Certified.

My interest for fitness started at a young age when I began to compete in athletics. After spending the majority of my life as an avid basketball and soccer player, I developed a sedentary lifestyle while attending college to pursue a BA degree in education. As a result of my 30 lb weight gain and recognizing the health concerns in my family history, I rededicated myself to fitness and living a healthier lifestyle. With exercise and a passion for fitness, I was able to lose the weight and was also an encouragement to my family, most of all, my mother. While training her she began to see the benefits of exercise. After losing almost 40 lbs, she told me she had never been happier and healthier in her life. Seeing how this changed my mom’s life, she became an inspiration and a big part of me realizing what I was called to do.

For the past four years I have dedicated myself as a trainer, sharing my experience, knowledge and love for physical fitness. My vision to helping others is just beginning. My job as a trainer is to listen and understand clients needs, help them make attainable goals, keep them safe, stay motivated and most importantly having FUN while doing it.

“Fitness, Health and People are my passion. I get the opportunity to help improve people’s lives everyday. Nothing is more rewarding than that.”

My interest in fitness began when my parents signed me up for T-ball in kindergarten. I played basketball the next fall, and continually played several sports a year all the way through high school. My athletic career came to an abrupt end after I graduated. Within a year I had gained a few pounds, starting having trouble sleeping, and didn’t have the energy that I used to. Unhappy with my new body and not having any sports to play, I started working out at a gym. After a while, I had lost all my extra body fat, and was sleeping and feeling better again.

When I was 22, I was offered a job coaching volleyball at a local high school. At the end of the season awards banquet, the girls showed me how much I had inspired and motivated them. Being able to share my love of sports and exercise with the volleyball players made me realize what I wanted to do. I decided to go back to school to get a degree in Fitness, so I could share with everyone the joy and benefits of an active, healthy lifestyle. Being active and fit plays a major role in having a good quality of life, and I’m excited to be able to help other people achieve a healthier life through fitness. I work with clients to provide an exercise program that creates success in achieving their own unique health and fitness goals.

I have always been an active individual since the age of 10. I’ve played numerous sports such as basketball, hockey and kickboxing. During my sophomore year of high school came notoriously bad food choices and myself not being happy with the way I looked. I took it upon myself to make a change in my body and my food.

Julian Anderson - Personal Trainer

Certifications: ACE, CPR-AED

Experience: Nearly a years experience personal training as well as four years weight room/ cardio instructor

I have been extremely active my entire life; playing various sports beginning in elementary school and extending through high school and college. These have ranged from baseball, to football and basketball. I currently participate in Brazilian ju-jitsu and grappling through NWGA (Northwest Grappling Association).

Although constantly active, I was always the “scrawny” kid growing up because of my lack of dietary and exercise knowledge. At the age of 19, I began to grow increasingly interested in these subjects and started to workout correctly and eat right for the first time in my life. Needless to say, this resulted in a 40 lb gain of muscle and a huge confidence boost. Since then, I have never looked back; continuing to educate myself in exercise science as well as sports nutrition. Personal training has become a passion for me because I find it extremely rewarding to help others reach their goals.
