Reopening Protocols - June 2020

In order to reopen, there are required protocols from the CDC
and the California Public Health Department. After reviewing all relevant information, we have made the following updates and changes to our facility. These guidelines will also allow us to stay in compliance with the standards of our conditional waiver. We will limit occupancy to no more than 20 people at any one time including staff so that we are able to maintain 6 feet of physical distance. This will be easy for us to accommodate as we are by appointment only. In addition to our normal cleaning and sanitation practices, the protocols we have listed below are ways we can offer you a safe and productive workout. ....

To the Prevail community: Thank you
for welcoming me into your family. I am so blessed to have been seen, known, and cared for at Prevail. The intentional community built on relationships with every person who walks through the door is what stands out to me most about Prevail and it’s what I will miss most. More specifically, it is the people (all of you!) that I will miss as I embark on a new adventure. So, I would like to take a moment to express my appreciation for you wonderful folks ☺ . I want to give a shout out to the “5:55amers.” Thank you for making it so worth it to get out of bed in the wee hours of the morning. The thought of seeing ....

Sajan Chhetri - April 2019

Meet Sajan Chhetri!

Jennifer Wilson - April 2019

Meet Jennifer Wilson!
I grew up in the rural north of England without car or television, but with the moors as my playground and the local library as my second home. I loved English and Physics. At university, I read the life-changing Moby Dick , fell in love with American Literature, and came to the U.S. on a big scholarship to do my Ph.D. I planned to return to be a professor in England, but I met a man—that’s our Larry at Prevail-- and I stayed. I have enjoyed a fabulous career at UCLA where I learned much and taught many. I love my English and my American families and consider myself a citizen without borders. When did you start coming to Prevail?

Larry Nowlin - March 2019

Meet Larry Nowlin!
I'm a California guy. I grew up in Pasadena, graduated from UCSB twice with a BA and MA, and spent some time in Europe. I’m retired but much of my career was in Aerospace in Santa Barbara. I’m happily married and we stay healthy and active. When did you start coming to Prevail?
It seems a long time ago, maybe 15 years ago. At the time I was working, sitting around in front of the computer, getting fat and out of shape, going to meetings, and eating power lunches. It was not good; Prevail saved me. I started with private lessons and moved into group classes. I took a break but now I'm back and part of that ....

Masa Suzuki Method

Masa Suzuki Method This workshop focuses on being able to move freely on the ground, in the air, and wherever you can imagine. We will also focus on the energy of your surroundings (objects and people) and how this influences your flow. Being able to freely move your bodies 3 centers; your pelvic, spine and shoulder blades, is very important to maintaining your health. When you practice movement on your own everything can seem to be close to perfect. However, the important question to ask yourself is: “Are you functional in fluctuating situations?" Or too ask another way, "Can you still move as great when there’s external pressure?.” You can never ....

Precision Nutrition Testimonial - Diego Barbieri

Meet Diego Barbieri!
I was born and raised in thesouthern moststate ofBrazil in Rio Grande do Sul. Myparents have always been diligent, hard-working andphysicallyactive people. Their example has had a tremendously positive impact and influenced the way I am today. Being raised in a house with three active boys helped shape my competitive side. My father, brother and I were constantly competing, whether it was ping-pong, backyard soccer, tree-climbing, or seeing who could eat more braised beets in a minute, we were always going at it! I moved to the USA almost 14 years ago at age 25, straight to Santa Barbara. What originally could have been a temporary surf trip turned into home ....

Meet Sue Collisson!
I’m a former paralegal with County Counsel’s office in the litigation division. Now, however, I’ve been enjoying retirement with my husband for the last year and a half. When did you start coming to Prevail?

Over the course of the first several months of these ....
