Who We Are
We are a boutique personal trainer studio. We handcraft and customize every workout. We integrate nutrition, movement, and flexibility into our personal training sessions. You only get one body, keep it safe, and make it the best you can.
We are Sand and Steel, Professional Grade Personal Trainers
Our Secrets to Success
Study your craft, take as many certifications as you can, and develop expertise in your specialization. Treat every client with respect and individualize every workout. There are no shortcuts to developing talent or getting referrals.
Love What You Do … and Do It Better than Anyone Else
How Sand & Steel Competes with Group Class Companies
There are many challenges to running a business. Pricing pressure from inexpensive group class companies has forced us to improve. We are an authentic personal trainer studio. We deliver on the boutique gym experience and all the results associated with having your own personal trainer. Think custom-made Italian Handbags – not massed-produced backpacks. While the rest of the fitness industry can sell memberships based on promises — we are real people and we have to sell results. That is the way we started… and it will always be the way Sand & Steel is run.
The Sand & Steel Formula for Success
Sand & Steel builds new programs around your goals and their movement patterns. We customize the training to your fitness levels (beginner to expert). We mobilize the parts of your body that don’t move well. We even customize your program for how you are feeling that day. With a personal trainer, you get one-on-one customization and attention. The result … a safer program that delivers faster results than the group model. It costs more… because it delivers more.
That’s Who We Are … Real Coaches Who Train Real Clients
We train many clients who are 50-80 years old. For our older adult population, we build you a custom program considering your balance, range of motion, and previous injuries.
Your individual program will feature age-appropriate exercises designed to help you stay mobile, improve range of motion, increase strength, and decrease chronic pain.
Clients Recovering from Injuries
We work with clients who have nagging injuries and chronic pain:
- Injuries from Military and Air Force Tours
- Old sports injuries like soccer and football
- Group fitness injuries from CrossFit & Orange Theory
- Scope-wise we work with people with chronic knee pain, neck problems, spinal reconstructions, shoulder issues, etc.
If you can get yourself to the gym, we can train you.
The Fitness Assessment will determine strength, conditioning, recovery, mobility, stability, body awareness, and flexibility. You’ll perform various fitness and mobility tests:
- How fast you can row 500M
- How much flexibility is in your shoulders
- How much weight you can safely deadlift
- How healthy are your ankle and hips, etc.
You’ll work up a good sweat from this benchmark so bring water and towel. We’ll use the data collected from this fitness assessment to write your first programmed workout. We’ll do that workout in your next personal training session.
Intro Nutrition Consult
Intro Nutrition consult includes:
- Creation of target calories, protein, fats, and carbs daily
- Setup of your myfitnesspal account, enter your target goals
- Explain how to take photographs of your food.
- Discuss timing associated with protein powder, BCAAs, Electrolytes
- Explain how to Apply 5 Elements Rule to your meals
- Draft a sample meal
While we do provide custom meal planning, coaching on specific supplements, diets using carb cycling, intermittent fasting, grocery lists, custom applications of Adkins, Zone, Paleo, etc., we don’t provide this level of service in the Intro Nutrition Consult (you’ll need to purchase the full BluePrint Weight Loss and Meal Plan service.)

Paul has been my personal trainer for a little while now. At first I wasn’t sure if I would be able to work out with him without feeling self-conscious, but his easy going, friendly personality created a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. He makes each workout challenging, creative and most importantly, fun! Paul is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm he brings to every session. He also places a high value on correct form with each exercise, and he motivates me to push past my perceived limits to get results. I really like his diverse training methods, individualized exercise programs; challenging yet achievable goal setting. His professionalism, extensive knowledge and enthusiastic commitment to his work and clients provide the perfect scenario for success and sets foundations for a new healthier lifestyle. My friends and co-workers have really noticed a difference and I’m feeling better about myself every week!

Upon turning 30, I decided it was time to add some strength training to my life (apparently you lose a 1/2 pound of muscle each year after 30… Seriously, google it!). I’m an avid power walker & enjoy some light yoga, so I was pretty intimidated by going to a strength training gym but read all the great reviews and decided to try it out.
From my first session, I was impressed with the non-judgmental & welcoming atmosphere… Great for busy professionals to work hard. Unlike other gyms I’ve been too, you get a full hour of personal training.
My schedule fluctuates often, but Sand & Steel has great electronic booking software. I’ve trained with all the different coaches, Dawn, Brian, Max, and Paul … all are great in their own ways. They aren’t competing with each other for business, so they encourage their clients to switch it up… Which I highly recommend considering.
For the first time in my life, I can actually do a push-up. My clothes are loser & things are a lot more toned. An unexpected benefit? My posture has seriously improved…. I do a lot less slouching & I’m at least a 1/2 inch taller! Oh, and I haven’t had to untag myself in a picture on Facebook in months 🙂

Paul Roberts is THE BEST! I’ve only been with Sand & Steel for 2 months, but it’s had a significant positive impact on my life. I didn’t think 2 hours a week could make such a big impact. It’s the best two hours I spend each week. I also greatly appreciate how Paul is able to explain the scientific, biological, and physiological basis of the exercises that we do as well as all the nutrition questions that I ask him. Knowing the why behind everything helps.
Here are the physical and mental benefits that I’ve experience in just 2 months:
Physical Benefits – lost weight, lost inches around my waist, arms, and legs, cholesterol went down to a healthy level, and I have more energy. What more could you ask for???
Mental Benefits – I started to see Paul when I was extremely stressed and twigged out and in 2 short months I’m able to see the stress slowly melt away.
This started off as a physical thing for me and the physical benefits have been great, but the mental benefits is what keeps me going. The endorphins are flowing and it feels great!
Paul is beyond awesome and I couldn’t have asked for a better personal trainer.

There is no one like Dawn! She is an incredible trainer and one of the most wonderful people on the planet! I’ve been working out with her for almost 9 months and my body is changing in ways I could have never imagined. I feel so strong–it’s amazing! It’s the most fun workout and time flies. She changes things up all the time so you’re challenged and works within any physical limitations you may have–she has so many different exercises and modifications that you always feel safe and she sets you up for success (and she does lots of the exercises with you) 🙂 She will push you and you will LOVE it!! There is no one more supportive and encouraging and just awesome! I walk out of the gym after working out with her always feeling accomplished, with a smile on my face. She is the BEST!! Training with Dawn has changed my life and I’m so grateful to her.

I’ll be honest, I was a little intimidated watching everyone training with Dawn and Paul. Eventually I decided to try Sand & Steel and am so thankful I did. Paul and Dawn write unique custom workouts for me and all the other members. People of all fitness levels can walk away from the training session feeling as though they got a great workout in and wanting to come back for more. I’ve had trainers who are constantly on their phones and not making sure you have proper form to trainers who are attentive and pay attention to their client. Sand & Steel is a whole new level of organized Professional training. If you’re a newbie or have been exercising for years, I highly recommend Sand and Steel!
