10 Years Strong: Fueled by sweat, driven by results!

June 1, 2025, The Fit Lab turned 10!
A whole decade of movement, mindset, and meaningful change.

What started as a small dream has grown into a thriving community of over 1,000 people committed to becoming stronger, healthier, and more confident. Over the years, we’ve transformed lives, educated and empowered our clients, and built something truly special — a fitness family built on science, support, and growth.

How The Fit Lab Got Its Name

When founder Sean Pangelinan became a personal trainer more than 12 years ago, he had a degree in Kinesiology and a passion for helping people. But he noticed something missing in the fitness world — a place where people could not only train, but learn, experiment, and truly understand their bodies.

That vision came to life after reading “Becoming a Supple Leopard” by Dr. Kelly Starrett, a book that changed the way Sean thought about movement and training. Dr. Starrett’s message was simple but powerful:
a gym should be like a laboratory — a place where people can explore, test, and grow stronger through knowledge and self-awareness.

That idea became the heart of The Fit Lab.
It’s not just a gym — it’s your personal lab for growth, both physical and mental.

A Decade of Impact

In the past 10 years, The Fit Lab has:
✅ Transformed hundreds of lives through coaching and support
✅ Dropped thousands of pounds of weight while building confidence and strength
✅ Focused on long-term health education and empowerment
✅ Created a powerful, supportive community that motivates one another every day

But beyond the numbers, it’s the stories, friendships, and transformations that define who we are.

Thank You, Fit Lab Family

This milestone wouldn’t be possible without you — our incredible clients, coaches, and community.
Your trust, energy, and commitment are what make The Fit Lab more than a gym.
You’ve made it a movement.

With gratitude,
