Hello! I’m Sam, your coach & cheerleader
I created Joy & Lakas Co. to help people reconnect with their strength, both inside and out. With a background in:
bachelors degree in Health, Exercise, and Sports Science
3 years training exclusively TTC, Prenatal, & Postpartum population
NASM-CPT certification
StretchLab PNF Stretching certification
I specialize in personal training that’s personalized, sustainable, and empowering.
My approach is rooted in:
Joy — movement that feels good, not forced.
Lakas (meaning “strength” in Tagalog) — building resilience and confidence through training.
I believe fitness isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about building habits that support your unique lifestyle, body, and goals.
