Meet the Team

Michael Punzalan

Co-Founder

I’m a performance coach and competitive athlete focused on building strength, conditioning, and durability that leaves the gym and carries into real life. I have a B.S. in Kinesiology: Exercise Science, a NASM-CPT certification, and I’ll be starting a physical therapy program this year. My background includes 2024 National Collegiate Rugby National Champion, NCR National Championship MVP, NCR 1st Team All-American, 6 years in the Kentucky Army National Guard (including a 1 year rotation in Europe), the 2025 Battalion Best Warrior winner (1792nd CSSB), and an active Muay Thai/MMA fighter. I was also an All-State linebacker and an All-Region Midfielder. My entire life has revolved around exceptional performance, so I am no stranger to what it takes to excel in any physical setting.
