Who We Are
THE STRENGTH LAB TEAM
Trevor Houghton
Head PERSONAL TRAINER/Owner
Trevor grew up in Truckee and is an avid outdoor athlete. He graduated with a Bachelors degree in Kinesiology with a focus in Exercise Science from Humboldt State University in 2017 and has been training clients for 7 years. He learned about the slow-cadence, high intensity method in school and realized it is an extremely effective method for building strength throughout the whole body, and preventing injury especially as we age. He also trains heavily with kettlebells, barbells, bands and body weight. He can tailor your strength program to fit your exact needs, and support other areas of wellness including nutrition, lifestyle and positive mindset
Gaia Trojanowski
PERSONAL TRAINER
Gaia is a 26 year Truckee resident, owner/operator of Embodiment Massage Studio, cofounder and trainer at Strength Lab Truckee. She received the Personal Trainer Certification from HitUni.com after she alleviated her back and shoulder pain from long hours over her massage table. During Covid with a medical referral, she would drive seven hours round-trip to San Jose once a week for a 20 minute high-intensity strength training session with Super Slow Zone because it worked! She is a SoCal native and mother of two children, skier, mountain biker and longboarder.
