Bianca Herres
Personal Trainer/Nutrition Coach
Bianca is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Women's Coaching Specialist, and firmly believes that there's a place in the gym for everybody in every body. Having found strength training after a major injury in 2014, Bianca became passionate about using movement as a means to feel capable, both inside and outside of the gym.
Having felt the ways in which strength shaped her own confidence, Bianca got her personal training certification in 2018, and has since done numerous other certifications, as well as worked in every atmosphere from group fitness, to training clients in their 80s, to collegiate strength and conditioning at a D1 university. In college, she also engineered her own major in order to study the overlap between the wellness world and social justice, focusing particularly on eating disorders & body image, female athletes, and making wellness accessible. She values creating a version of fitness that works for each individual client, and doesn't believe in a 'one-size-fits-all' model.
Her training style centers on targeting imbalances, reducing pain, gaining strength, and working towards a body that each client feels confident in, whatever that means to them. She has also been fortunate enough to work with clients on regaining strength and mobility post-gender affirming surgeries, and always works hard to make the weight room a space that feels safe and open for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Outside of the gym, she can likely be found reading, listening to a true crime podcast, or petting her dog.

“Working with Bianca has truly been life changing for me. My relationship with food, my body, and movement has made a complete 180. She creates such a safe space to show up exactly where you are. When I started working with Bianca I was under-fueling, over-training, and solely viewing my fitness/nutrition as a means to get smaller. I had so many toxic beliefs surrounding fitness left over from high school athletics, old coaches, and people in the fitness space in general. B has truly held my hand throughout the process of working through my disordered habits and rewiring my relationship with fitness/nutrition. She has such a gentle and understanding approach while still pushing me and that is so refreshing. Working with Bianca has improved my overall quality of life in a way that I can't explain, and it goes so far beyond fitness and nutrition alone. I feel healthier, I have more energy to get throughout the day, I am able to enjoy food and my workouts again, I sleep better, my focus is better, the list could go on for years. Most importantly though: I've learned to trust myself and my body, and that's truly priceless. Even my friends and family make comments on the changes they've seen in me since working with Bianca. If you've ever had even a fleeting thought that you might need some guidance with fitness or nutrition, do yourself a favor and work with Bianca"
