What intentional coaching looks like
Most gyms offer HYROX classes. Awaken specializes in personalized coaching — 1:1 personal training and race-specific programming because every athlete is different in background, fitness level, and goals.
Every Class Has a Purpose
Training is structured and progressive — not random workouts. Every class is designed to meet different goals and fitness levels.
Every Member Has a Plan
Personalized programs built around your background, fitness level, and goals — not a one-size-fits-all class schedule.
Coaches on the Race Floor
Awaken coaches compete. They understand race demands, pacing strategy, and what it takes to get from training to the finish line.
Coaching + Recovery Integrated
Coaches work alongside the recovery team — so your program accounts for what happens between sessions, not just in them.

1:1 PERSONAL TRAINING
Your Program. Your Coach. Your Pace.
Awaken differentiates from gyms that only offer group classes by specializing in individualized coaching and personalized training — especially for HYROX and performance goals.
Program Built Around You
Your background, fitness level, and goals shape every session. No two programs at Awaken are the same.
Structured & Progressive
Training that builds over time — not random workouts. Every session connects to the one before it and the one after.
Weak-Point Correction
Coaches identify and address movement limitations, imbalances, and injury risks — before they become problems.
Race-Specific When You Need It
Training shifts with your goal — from building the base, to race-specific movements, to pacing and strategy before your target event.
Coaching at Awaken, Explained.
Who are the coaches at Awaken?
Our coaching team is led by Coach Culver and includes certified trainers with backgrounds in functional fitness, strength and conditioning, and HYROX race preparation. Every coach at Awaken has hands-on race experience and is trained to deliver personalized programming, not just lead group workouts. You can learn more about each coach's background, credentials, and training philosophy on our website.
How are coaches assigned?
For personal training and Race Series members, coaches are matched based on your goals, schedule, and training style. For group classes, our coaches rotate across the class schedule so you benefit from different coaching perspectives while maintaining program consistency.
