We are psyched to welcome Coach Troy Lingle () to our DIAKADI community this month.

Meet Troy Lingle:

“My passion for fitness started early. Growing up, I was a multi-sport athlete, competing at the varsity level in basketball, baseball, track and field, and soccer. Being active and pushing my limits was always part of who I was, but it wasn't until later that I truly understood the transformative power of health and fitness.

In 2020, I made the life-changing decision to commit fully to my health and fitness journey as part of my New Year's resolution. That commitment sparked a tunnel vision for self-improvement, and I fully immersed myself in learning, applying, and living a fitness-focused lifestyle. Health and training became my therapy, my outlet, and my driving purpose. As I transformed myself from the inside out, people began noticing and soon started asking me to help them with their own fitness journeys. That's when I realized it was time to take my passion to the next level and become a professional trainer.

Today, I'm proud to coach individuals from all walks of life, helping them unlock their full potential through movement, discipline, and mindset”.

The DIAKADI Gallery is honored to present the work of John Bernhelm, now featured on the second floor of our facility. 

Meet John Bernhelm (John Bernhelm):

In the hustle and bustle of city life, neighborhood nature encounters can help us feel grounded, connected, and reminded of our place in the wider world. 

This is what local photographer John Bernhelm set out to display in his gallery, Our Wild Neighbors, along with showing their beauty, personality, presence, and resilience. All proceeds from the sale of these photographs benefit Golden Gate Bird Alliance. 

Together, we can conserve, appreciate, and love our wild neighbors!

Recovery is just as important as the work you put in. We asked our coaches which habit they prioritize most and why.

Ask the Coach: If you could only recommend one recovery habit, what would it be and why?

Aurora (): “I'd recommend prioritizing sleep. Getting consistent, quality sleep is when the body truly repairs muscle tissue and consolidates nervous system gains from training.

If sleep is already taken then you could swap sleep for massage therapy. Massage breaks up tissue tension, helps with circulation, and relaxes the nervous system. It’s a high-value recovery tool because it helps muscles glide with each other better creating easier movement and helps you drop into your body and relax which is a powerful reset for your nervous system.”

Austin (.fitness): “If I could only recommend one recovery habit, it would be to improve sleep and everything about it: duration, quality and timing. Get 8 hours; set up your bedtime routine and environment so sleep is uninterrupted and you go through your proper sleep cycles; and ensure that you fall asleep and wake up in line with your circadian rhythm. A sleep wearable can be really helpful for assessing all of these. This is all essential for energy, cognitive function, hormone regulation, tissue repair and growth and many other health benefits.”

We are excited to welcome our newest front desk team member, Kyle!

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Kyle received his B.A. in Sociology from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo before starting a career in social services, where helping others quickly became a lifelong passion. Growing up in musical theater and sports sparked a love for movement, and more recently, Kyle found a new creative home in dance.

Whether in the gym, on stage, or in the studio, Kyle believes taking care of his body and mind allows him to show up as his best self. In his free time, you can find him on a walk, reading a good book, cooking, or thrift shopping in search of his next great find!

Coach Brendan (brendanvandyck) and Sanjana have been working together for nearly eight years, building a partnership focused on long-term health, strength, and performance.

One of Sanjana’s latest milestones is a total weight loss of 50 pounds. Even more impressive, she maintained the majority of her strength throughout her weight loss, increasing her relative strength as her body weight decreased.

She achieved this through consistent resistance training, prioritizing daily protein intake, and staying committed to the process. During her journey, she also began taking a GLP-1 medication, making her results even more impressive as she navigated challenges like nausea, headaches, and an increased risk of muscle loss.

Sanjana and Coach Brendan, keep doing it ALL and kicking ASS doing it!
