Meet Your Coach

Ian Kendall • NASM-CPT | NASM Women’s Fitness Specialist

My journey started as a professional pitcher — constantly chasing performance, progress, and precision. But after my career ended, a serious injury during my transition out of baseball forced me to rebuild everything from the ground up.

That experience reshaped my view of health and fitness. I dove into mobility, breathwork, recovery, and sustainable movement. I stopped chasing quick fixes and started building a deeper understanding of what lasting wellness really looks like — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I began coaching in 2020 and have since trained thousands of people through group settings, private coaching, and structured online programs. Whether in person or remote, I’ve helped clients navigate injury recovery, build strength, improve mobility, and stay consistent through life’s transitions.

At DMN8 — a growing fitness startup in Santa Monica — I helped lead group coaching and community development. It taught me that coaching isn’t just about workouts. It’s about presence, care, and consistency. That philosophy led me to create Elevate Health & Fitness.

I coach through a well-rounded lens that blends strength training, aerobic conditioning, mobility work, and holistic practices like sleep, stress management, and recovery. This balanced approach helps clients build not only a strong body — but a sustainable foundation for long-term health and wellness.

Through the Trainerize platform, I offer:

• Structured, personalized coaching plans
• Weekly check-ins and real accountability
• Strength, mobility, and recovery tools
• Nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle support
• A coaching relationship that’s human — not transactional

I know what it’s like to feel disconnected from your body and your goals. I’ve lived through that too. If you choose to work with me, know that I don’t take your trust lightly. I’d be honored to support your journey.
