Our Coaches
Our coaches are more than trainers — they're partners in your long-term health journey. Every GYM 28 coach is certified, experienced, and genuinely invested in your progress.
We believe coaching is about more than sets and reps. It's about understanding your goals, your limitations, your schedule, and your life — and building a plan that actually works for you.
