"A little over a decade ago, I was obese, sedentary, and struggling with chronic pain that made even everyday activities difficult. I started rebuilding my health with small steps. Walking led to bodyweight exercises, and eventually yoga, kickboxing, and strength training. What began as an effort to reclaim my own health became a passion for helping others do the same."

Analine Ignacio

Analine combines strength training with a passion for movement, mobility, and mat Pilates. As an instructor at YO-BK, she takes an encouraging, thoughtful approach to helping clients build strength, improve mobility, and develop sustainable fitness habits. She believes that lasting physical change starts with a shift in mindset.

"“During the pandemic, I gained 40 pounds and struggled to lose it. Telling myself I was lazy, I started asking why I was struggling with motivation and what I could do to change it. I began looking at the reasons behind my stress eating and mindless eating rather than only focusing on the weight itself. This led me to changing my behaviors and adopting positive reinforcement which resulted in losing the weight. So, if you’re looking for a trainer who will yell at you or call you lazy, I’m not the one for you! I believe there’s always more to the story, and understanding ourselves is an important part of making lasting changes. Fitness shouldn’t be about punishing yourself; it should be about learning to support yourself.”"

Dev Buchanan

Dev combines her passion for strength training with her experience teaching mat and Inferno Pilates at YO-BK. Her coaching blends strength, conditioning, and Pilates-inspired movement to help clients build confidence, improve their fitness, and feel stronger in everyday life.

"I've always been passionate about fitness, cycling through phases of spin, CrossFit, jiu-jitsu, and strength training. But for a long time, partying and unhealthy habits took priority over consistency. In 2023, I made the decision to commit to sobriety for good. Strength training became my anchor, giving me structure, transforming my body composition, and helping me rebuild my confidence. What began as a personal transformation grew into a passion that ultimately inspired me to pursue fitness professionally."
