The coaching

Build muscle.
See your hard work pay off.

You put time and effort into your training. You want it to show. A physique with more shape, more definition, and the confidence to enjoy the body you’re building.

A clear path to the physique you want.

A coach who sees
what’s possible for you.

Dr. Kelvin Lee is a physique coach, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and physical therapist. He brings those perspectives together in the pursuit of a body that looks good, performs well, and feels like yours.

Your coach gets to know the physique you want to build, your training history, and what matters to you outside the gym. Then we give you a clear path and challenge you to do the work. We see potential in you that you may not see yet.

Build muscle

See your hard work
pay off.

More shape in your shoulders. More tone in your arms. Your jeans hugging you the right way. Taking your shirt off at the beach and feeling good about it. Tell us what that looks like for you. We’ll build your training around it.

Increase capacity

Feel capable
outside the gym.

Get back on the court. Take the hike. Carry what you need. Dominate the golf course. Build strength for the parts of your life that make training worth it.

Build confidence

See what your body
is truly capable of.

Expect to be challenged. You’re more capable than you think. Our coaches see potential in you that you may not see yet. We won’t let you give up, because we know you’re capable of so much more.

enough here.

Client stories

See the change.
Hear their stories.

A coach who believes in you should also expect something from you. The work, the consistency, and the willingness to keep going. Hear how working with Kelvin helped Jerome and Jared make progress that carried into their lives.

Jerome

A transformation
you can see.

“When I started I was 165 pounds. Now I’m roughly about 185 pounds, mostly muscle. So it’s been quite the transformation for me.”

Jerome gained about 20 pounds, mostly muscle, while working with Kelvin. A fuller physique, visible muscle, and a foundation to keep building on. Along the way, he also regained the ability to raise his arm overhead. Results he could see and feel.

Jared

Back on the court.
With a plan that fits.

“He took time to really understand my personality, what I was willing to do on my own, you know, and what he needed to fill in the gaps. And he created a plan that really helped me that I could do consistently. And that’s when I started to see a lot of difference, a lot of change.”

Jared wanted his life on the court back. Working with Kelvin gave him direction, a plan that fit his life, and the consistency to keep moving forward. The payoff was getting back to basketball and seeing progress in his health and his game.

A few things to know

Before
you apply.

I’ve already worked with a trainer. How will this be different?

We don’t know your previous trainer or what that experience was like. But we can promise this: a clear plan built around your goals, a coach who pays attention, honest feedback, and an expectation that you keep progressing.

We’ll challenge you, help you understand what you’re doing, and adjust your training as you grow. We’re here to help you build a physique you’re proud of.

Do I need to be strong or experienced already?

No. But you do have to be willing to become stronger and more experienced. This is not a place where you stay a beginner forever.

We’ll guide you through the beginning of your journey, teach you the movements, and help you build confidence. As you learn, we expect you to take more ownership of your training. Your coach will still guide and challenge you. Your training should evolve as your physique evolves.

What if I have an injury or a health condition?

Get cleared by a doctor before starting. During your strategy call, we’ll discuss whether training at NEO is appropriate for you. NEO is not a substitute for medical treatment or physical therapy.

Can I train one-on-one?

Yes. Concierge Personal Training gives you dedicated one-on-one sessions with a coach and more scheduling flexibility. You can work with one of our fantastic coaches, or choose the Dr. Kelvin coaching option to work directly with him, subject to his limited availability.

How often do I need to train?

It depends on your schedule and goals. For most people, we recommend at least three training sessions a week. If you can train less often, you can still make progress, but reaching your goals may take longer. We'll help you choose a schedule you can sustain.

Is there a long-term commitment?

No, we don’t have long-term contracts. We only work with people who want to be here, so we won’t hold you hostage.

Your training package renews every four weeks. Because coaching space is limited, if you leave the program, your previous time slot with your coach may no longer be available when you return. You may have to join the waitlist.

How soon can I start?

Share when you’re ready to begin in your application. During your strategy call, we’ll confirm coaching availability and session times that fit your schedule.

Is Guided Training a group class?

No. Guided Training is not a group class. Your plan is built for you, your body, and your goals, just as it would be in one-on-one training.

If you enjoy the camaraderie of training with other people, want people around you who help hold you accountable to show up, and value an uplifting environment while being more budget-conscious, this is for you.

You’ll share a coaching space of up to eight people, each following their own individual plan, with a coach guiding the room.
