About Groundwork

Built by two coaches who got tired of gyms that didn't know their names.

Founder & Head Coach

Priya Nakamura

Priya coached strength and conditioning at two big-box gyms before opening Groundwork with a simple rule: every class stays small enough that she can correct your form by name, not by shouting across the room.

She teaches Strong and Engine most weeks, and still remembers every member's first class.

Yoga & Movement Lead

Devon Rhys

Devon trained as a physical therapist before moving into teaching full-time, which shows up in how Sunrise Flow and Restore are built — nothing that looks good but wrecks a knee.

They lead teacher training for the studio's newer instructors twice a year.

“You don't have to be good at it. You have to show up.”

How We Teach

Small classes, real names.

Capped at 14 so every instructor can actually coach, not just count reps out loud.

How We Build

No lock-in, on purpose.

Month-to-month memberships only — the studio has to earn your renewal every time.

What We Value

Consistency over intensity.

We'd rather see you three times a week for a year than once a day for a month.

Your first week is on us.

Memberships from $89/month after — no lock-in, cancel anytime.
