Rafael “Rafa” Patino Corona
BS Kinesiology, CSCS

Rafael works with high performers - driven professionals who hold themselves to a high standard and want their bodies to match. Many come to him feeling lost, stuck, or frustrated in their pursuit of high-level physical performance, having tried plenty without a clear system to show for it.

That system is exactly what Rafael builds. As a certified strength and conditioning specialist with a degree in kinesiology, he grounds his coaching in the science of how the body adapts, then strips away the noise. His specialty is simplifying fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle into something adaptable, practical, and genuinely sustainable - programming that fits a demanding life rather than competing with it.

He helps clients reach their body-composition, fitness, and performance goals through the two things that actually move the needle: consistency and effort. He's also a key part of the Progressive Motion continuum, often working with clients transitioning out of physical therapy and back into specific physical activity - the Reload phase, where rehab becomes real-world strength and capability. General fitness, athletic development, and body composition are all in his wheelhouse.

Outside the gym, Rafael is training, hiking, reading, or chasing down good food.

"I help high-performing professionals build strength, improve conditioning, and reach peak physical performance without sacrificing their careers."
