Cara Kim Nguyen
Coach
Hello!
I am a lifestyle coach that strives to leave a long lasting impact with each and every person I work with. In my teens and early adulthood I faced challenges with mental health and physical and emotional abuse, leaving me with low self esteem and purposeless. The first time I picked up a weight 7 years ago, I felt strong, empowered and confident. I have not looked back since. I finally found an outlet that made me look and feel better than I had in years, and fitness continued to pull me through my hardest challenges in life.
My passion for fitness is driven by wanting others to experience the same benefits I have by leading an active lifestyle. My core values revolve around uplifting my clients with an understanding and compassionate attitude. I strive to be a source of encouragement for my clients during ALL phases of their lives- even during the difficult ones.
I help my clients take the guesswork out of their exercise and nutrition, and give them a safe space to be curious and have fun during process.
I have a history of working with both professionals, parents, youth and elderly. I have a background in Jiu jitsu, traditional weightlifting, endurance training, and metabolic conditioning.
Misty Yang
Coach
I wasn’t always the fitness-oriented person I am today. In fact, I was the kid who dodged every PE class and avoided the gym—until my 20s, when I discovered lifting. What started as an escape from burnout became a full-blown passion, transforming not just my body but my entire outlook on life.
Before becoming a coach, I spent six years as an engineer—an experience that shaped how I approach training today. Just like in engineering, success in fitness isn’t about guesswork; it’s about strategy, problem-solving, and using the right tools to get results you want.
That mindset carried over when I stepped onto the bodybuilding competition stage. As a natural bikini bodybuilding competitor and NPC Bikini Overall Champion, I know firsthand what it takes to sculpt a body—it’s about building simple, effective habits with smart training, balanced nutrition, showing up and trust the process.
To keep improving as a coach, I learn from top trainers and stay up to date on the latest fitness, biomechanics, and body-sculpting techniques. My approach isn’t just about working harder—it’s about working smarter, using evidence based methods to help my clients see real, lasting results.
Whether you’re stepping into the gym for the first time, seeking relief from desk job stress, or ready to shape your body like a work of art, I’ll meet you where you are. With 8 years of experience in the gym, I coach with precision, positivity, and relentless support. Let’s turn “I can’t” into “I did”—because your best self is waiting.
