Benjamin (Ben) Banse-Fay
Independent Trainer. Strength and Functional Fitness Specialist. Book consultation
With a BSc in Applied Health & Fitness from Portland State University and certification from the NSCA, I help clients build strength that supports them for life. Since 2023, I’ve worked with adults of all ages, from older adults seeking more confidence and autonomy to teens starting their resistance training journey or looking to enhance athletic performance.
Whether you're new to strength training or aiming to hit new PRs, I take a personalized, results-driven approach to help you build foundational and functional strength that translates to real life. Let’s build a plan that fits you and gets you where you want to go.
*Outside the gym, I spend time with my partner and step-daughter, hang with my dogs, and unwind with puzzles or guitar.

Melissa E. Cierley
Independent Trainer. Corrective Exercise and Functional Fitness. Book consultation
With certification from the International Sports Academy (ISSA) in Personal Training, Corrective Exercise & Functional Fitness, and Nutrition, I help women in midlife build strength, confidence, and energy that lasts.
Since earning my certification, I’ve focused on supporting women in their 40s and beyond, those balancing busy lives, families, and careers, to achieve their fitness goals through efficient, sustainable, and empowering programs. My approach blends functional movement, practical nutrition, and mindset support to help you feel strong, mobile, and pain-free in everyday life.
At 45, I understand firsthand the changes that come with this stage of life—from maintaining bone density to boosting energy and reclaiming strength. My mission is to help you navigate those shifts with confidence and create a wellness routine that truly fits your lifestyle.
*Outside the gym, I spend time with my animals, finding balance in the same way I encourage my clients to. To me, fitness should enhance your life—not consume it.

Joseph (Joe) Leger
Co-Owner - Physique and Strength Trainer. Book consultation
Focused on long-term strength, confident movement, and sustainable results, I specialize in physique development and goal-driven strength training. Whether you’re looking to build lean muscle, improve symmetry, or push for long-term hypertrophy, I bring evidence-based methods, personalized programming, and a sharp eye for detail to every session.
My coaching style blends structure, adaptability, and real-world experience built from years of hands-on training and a deep personal investment in the process. I offer 1:1 sessions in both 30- and 60-minute formats, designed to fit your goals and your life.
*Outside the gym, I’m a homeschooling dad who’s been riding dirt bikes since I was four, playing card games with my wife and kids, and doing my best to keep everyone laughing.

Janina (Nina) Cila-Leger
Founder - Performance and Functional Strength Specialist. Book consultation
Whether you're an athlete chasing your next goal or returning to movement after a hurdle like injury, childbirth, or time away from training, I’m here to help you build strength that lasts.
As a certified personal trainer, performance enhancement specialist, and homeschooling mom, I specialize in functional training that supports real-life performance; from sports and strength goals to everyday resilience. My approach blends proven methods with the latest research to create highly individualized programs for youth, adults, and athletes of all backgrounds.
With additional education in postpartum recovery, return-to-sport training, injury prevention, and youth athletic development, I meet clients exactly where they are and help them get to where they want to be. I offer flexible 1:1 and partner (1:2) training in 30, 60, and 90 minute sessions.
*Outside the gym, I’m usually hanging with my husband and kids — homeschooling, training together, or playing sports. I also love painting and reading up on how the brain and body work.
