meet Alyssa :)

We work hard at FVT to create an environment where people of all levels feel welcomed, supported, and guided every step of the way.

Alyssa recently shared this about her time with us:

“Forest is an excellent personal trainer—very knowledgeable and kind. He has helped me learn proper form and technique with kettlebells as well as barbells. He’s also incredibly friendly and approachable and makes the gym less intimidating!”

This is exactly what we aim for. Expert coaching. A down-to-earth vibe. And results that last.

New Warrior Workout Format Launching Saturdays @ 8am (Test Run!)

We’re rolling out a brand-new Saturday workout experience at FVT Warrior Wellness, and you’re invited to help us test it out.

Starting April 12th, our Saturday 8:00 AM session is opening up to a larger group (up to 12 people)—something we don’t normally offer.

We’re rotating between two powerful, warrior-style formats:

1. Warrior Flow Isometrics (with Forest)
Mobility meets strength. You’ll build control, flexibility, and resilience through slow, focused movement and deep holds. Perfect for recovery and long-term performance.

2. Warrior HIIT Camp (with Alex)
A CrossFit-inspired, bootcamp-style class using kettlebells, bodyweight movements, and functional circuits. Fast-paced, effective, and fun—without the technical barbell lifts.

Here’s what’s on the schedule for April:

  • Saturday, April 12 – Warrior HIIT Camp (Alex)
  • Saturday, April 19 – Warrior Flow Isometrics (Forest)
  • Saturday, April 26 – Warrior HIIT Camp (Alex)

Want in? Just reply to this email with the word “WARRIOR” and we’ll add you to the list or get you set up.

Here’s how it works:

  • If you’re currently training with us 2x/week (small group or 1-on-1), Saturdays are INCLUDED.
  • If not, your first Saturday is FREE to try it out (as long as you haven’t already used a free Saturday session in the past 6 months.)
  • After that:
    • $20 drop-in
    • Or grab a 5-pack for $75 (good for 90 days – Saturdays only)

Zoom access is also available—perfect if you’re traveling or want to jump in from home.

Again—just reply with “WARRIOR” and we’ll take care of the rest.

This is a 2-month test run, so if you want it to stick around, now’s the time to show up and support!

Warrior Flow Isometrics – Sample Workout

This 20-minute session blends yoga-based holds with controlled movement to build strength, improve mobility, and boost endurance.

Instructions:

  • Hold each position for 45 seconds
  • Rest for 15 seconds between movements
  • Complete 3 rounds

1 – Wall Chair Hold – Press your back flat against a wall and lower into a squat with knees at 90 degrees. Engage your quads, glutes, and core—don’t let your lower back arch. Press your arms into the wall for an extra challenge or extend them overhead. Hold strong, breathing deeply.

2 – Lizard Lunge Hold (Alternating Sides from High Plank) – Start in high plank with hands under shoulders and core tight. Step your right foot outside your right hand, sinking into a deep hip stretch. Hold for a few seconds, then switch sides. Keep your hips low, back leg straight, and core engaged.

3 – Warrior III Iso Flow (Right Side) – Stand tall, then hinge forward at the hips, extending your right leg behind you into Warrior III. Hold briefly, then bring it down and hover it next to the other foot without fully touching the ground. Immediately lift it again into Warrior III and repeat the controlled movement. Keep your core engaged and hips square the entire time.

4 – Low Plank with Leg Lift – Hold a forearm plank, keeping your body straight. Lift one leg a few inches off the ground and hold for five seconds, then switch legs. Maintain strong core and glute activation.

5 – Warrior III Iso Flow (Left Side) – Stand tall, then hinge forward at the hips, extending your left leg behind you into Warrior III. Hold briefly, then bring it down and hover it next to the other foot without fully touching the ground. Immediately lift it again into Warrior III and repeat the controlled movement. Focus on stability, control, and balance.

6 – Superman Hold to W Pull – Lie face down with arms extended forward. Lift your chest and legs off the ground, holding the Superman position. Slowly pull your elbows back into a “W” shape, squeezing your shoulder blades. Extend your arms back forward and repeat.

Free Warrior Flow Isometrics Class – Sign Up Now

In my ongoing teacher training, I’m learning more about the lineage of different yoga traditions—and how we’ve ended up with the styles of yoga we practice in 2025.

It’s fascinating!

Not surprisingly, what we have today is a blend of many different styles—and over the last 20 years, it’s become even more mixed and diverse.

That’s why I’m putting on this special Warrior Flow Isometrics class as a beta test on Saturday, April 5th at 8:00 AM.

Because I am realizing that – WITH the proper knowledge of the foundations – it’s perfectly fine to blend modalities to fit your particular expression and style.

Warrior Flow Isometrics is a unique approach that combines yoga, isometrics, and old-school calisthenics into a powerful workout to help you burn fat, build strength, improve recovery, and more.

The best part? It’s FREE (limited to the first 12 to sign up). Learn more and reserve your spot at the link below:
