Caden became a trainer after finding that integrative health and fitness played a key role in feeling empowered in his body as a queer transgender man. He knew that he wanted to share what he learned with other people.
Transgender, non-binary, and other LGBTQ+ people often do not feel safe in their bodies in public fitness centers. Caden strives to show trans and non-binary people that they can reimagine their connection to their body, health, and mind. He expresses his love for fitness with a mix of heavy lifts, hypertrophy training, and functional strength modalities.
Caden offers 1:1 personal training, fitness-based lifestyle coaching, and small group training both virtually and in person.
Folks sometimes experience barriers to fitness in a variety of ways. I work to provide a space for those who want to try something different than the traditional wellness culture.
Being a racialized queer individual, I’m inspired by the value and knowledge of what people already know about themselves. Moya, (2011) speaks to how "our identities predispose us to see or not see; listen to or not listen to; read or not read; cite or not cite; concern ourselves or not concern ourselves with specific Other peoples, issues, and societal dynamics. As a Coach, I am here to listen and concern myself with what you need and want to thrive on your wellness journey.
Jaime is the super hero that nobody wants but everyone needs. It’s hard enough to exercise when you’re in pain, you’ve tried time and time again without reaching your goals or you haven’t found a process that works for you, for your life on your terms. The fear of moving in pain is real but help is on the way!
This is where Jaime, AKA "The Movement Maven" comes in. She cares about your story and will help you rewrite it by showing you how amazing your body is, what it is capable of and how you can actually manage your pain and illness with the right movement and exercise tools. Return to a life of function so you can do the things you love with ease in a way that makes sense for you and your life.

Queer Focused Strength Coach, Founder at Motus & Tough Love Training

Services: 1-to-1 Personal Training, 2-3 People Small Group Training, Coaching, and Programming.
I remember what it’s like to feel uncomfortable in your own skin, especially in a loud, sweaty, aggressive space like the gym. I also know what it feels like to internalize that you belong there as much as anyone else, that you can get strong and feel awesome doing it.
I’ll help you feel good in the gym and in your body. I’ll push back when you give an excuse to cancel or give up a little too early. I won’t make it easy, but I promise that together we'll reach your goals, day by day, and have a blast doing it.
Coach, Educator and Founder at Motus & Tate Body Sciences
I remember what it’s like to feel hurt, to wake up in pain. I remember being told to expect a knee replacement in my 40s and to stop playing basketball, or else.
I also know what it feels like to learn that our body has near-magical healing properties, even in the face of chronic or life-long diagnoses. That you can get strong, feel awesome, and be amazed doing it, no matter your age or ability, is the message you get to feel every session.
The fear of movement and injury in academia has been replaced with a real push towards exercise as medicine, in fact, the reason to take medication is often to enable more activity and exercise to unlock your body's natural ability to keep you feeling good.
