The Fitness Alchemists

The Fitness Alchemists, Will and Hannah, are on a mission to empower people, all types of people. They are focused on educating each of us to better understand our body and optimize it's function. This is key,
the fine tuning and tactile cues that Will and Hannah provide help my body reach it's potential. If you have been trying to get stronger and move better, look no further, let the alchemy happen!

I am your classic 'try a workout trend, become a complete devotee, and then quit after 6 months because it doesn't fit in my life' fitness person. I am proud to say I've been going to the Fitness Alchemist's classes for 2 and a half years consistently, usually 2 classes a week, starting in the summer of 2017. At first, I just got a big thrill out of lifting heavy weights and throwing medicine balls and pushing sleds. Not to mention, I could see my muscle tone start to improve almost immediately. And then I started to wake up to all the information they were giving me about functional mobility, applied it to my body, and I became devoted. I have suffered from back and shoulder pain for over twenty years. My right knee has been weak since I hurt it playing soccer in high-school. I had two c-sections in 6 years and had pretty much completely lost sensation in my lower ab muscles. The Fitness Alchemists helped me to isolate the pain (or lack of sensation) in those areas, work consistently towards accessing any mobility I had, and regain strength and function of those parts of my body.
I followed them when they moved spaces and I look forward to my time in their space so much. It is calm, lovely, and so well conceptualized.
Hannah and Will have different styles in their coaching but their classes are consistent in terms of exercises and how I feel coming out of the class. I love getting a mix of both their personalities depending on when I got.
I will confess to being related to one of the coaches but I'd love The Foundry no matter what context I was connected to it.

I have worked with the Fitness Alchemists for almost 3 years and they are fantastic. They really do a great job of learning what your needs are and finding the best way for you to work toward achieving your goals in a safe way. Even though they are group classes you get focused attention and direction. They are extremely knowledgeable and their classes are a great workout, varied, work different parts of the body in a smart way, and they're fun. I feel so much stronger and better equipped to do exercises in a way that suits my body and its specific abilities. I highly recommend them.

I travel to the Bay a couple of times a year, mainly for work. I always try to plan classes with Hannah and Will. They are formidable at what they do! They really understand the human body and joint and muscle l movement. And that’s something you don’t always come across.
I still do their exercises back home in The Netherlands. I also do some of their exercises with my patients because they work so well in maintaining good posture, creating body awareness and control.
If you ever have the opportunity; go have fun and sign up for their classes.
Highly recommend this place. (also because they’re amazing human beings who are passionate about what they do!)

I highly recommend Hannah as a personal trainer and coach. As a person with rheumatoid arthritis, it can be daunting to face a general, all-purpose workout. However, Hannah has the knowledge, open mindedness and empathy to design programs for me that increase my strength and mobility without causing a flare-up in my condition. After two years of training I can say that I am stronger, more flexible, participating in activities that I thought were no longer part of my life - and I am pain-free on a daily basis!
