Coach Ethan (Ethan Rich) and Michelle have been working together to build the strength and physical fitness needed to take on one of her biggest goals: getting into the Police Academy.

Through consistent strength training, Michelle has gone from not being able to complete a single pushup to performing 40 pushups in one minute. She’s also gained approximately 5lbs of muscle while losing 15lbs of fat, all while in her 40s!

Her hard work recently paid off when she passed the Physical Ability Test (PAT) for the Police Academy, which requires 55lbs of grip strength, 30 situps in one minute, 20 pushups, and the ability to climb a 5ft wall.

Congratulations to Michelle and Coach Ethan on this achievement!

Alma and Coach Tracy (tracling22) have been working together since August 2025, focusing on building strength for long-term health and preparing for an active, healthy pregnancy.

Before pregnancy, Alma improved her upper and lower body strength, experienced less knee discomfort, and increased her endurance in activities like barre. She also developed more muscle definition in her arms and back.

Throughout her pregnancy, Alma has continued strength training, reaching over 120lbs on her trap bar deadlift.

With her baby due in November, Alma plans to continue training with Coach Tracy through postpartum recovery, focusing on rebuilding strength and core stability to support the physical demands of motherhood.

Wishing Alma all the best as she welcomes her little one!

Feeling stressed? The solution might be simpler than you think.

Something we do every day without thinking could be one of the most accessible tools for managing stress: breathing.

In the first installment of DIAKADI's Living Your Healthiest SF Life series, founder Billy Polson () explores how intentional breathing can support stress management, improve focus, and enhance workout recovery.

Featuring expert tips from DIAKADI coaches Aurora Bellone (aurora_trains_tennis) and Anthony D'Andrea (), the blog shares beginner-friendly breathing techniques, local San Francisco wellness resources, and a simple 7-day challenge to help you get started.

Visit our LINK BELOW to read the full blog and discover how just five minutes a day can make a difference.

We are psyched to welcome Coach Selena Seto to our DIAKADI community this month.⁠
⁠
Meet Selena (.edge.performance):⁠

Selena has been an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist for 11 years and has worked as a Doctor of Physical Therapy for the last 8 years. Coached D3 college sports teams and people of all fitness levels from those just starting in the gym, to weekend warriors, to elite athletes. Her areas of focus are functional training, sports performance, injury prevention and longevity training.

Selena specializes in movement analysis, looking closely at how your body moves, then using targeted exercises that retrain your nervous system so corrections last longer than traditional stretching and strengthening. She believes achieving clean movement before loading compensations is the key to future-proofing your body. Besides the fine-tuning, she likes to keep sessions fun with creative exercises and occasional games that go beyond strength- incorporating coordination, reaction time, control, and power, because these qualities keep athletes sharp, and all of us moving well for life.

Selena loves being active and rotating their sports throughout the year. Currently, she’s playing ice hockey, pickleball, judo, and skimboarding. They also enjoy being outdoors- hiking, backpacking, or just laying in the sun when it’s out. When she’s not active, Selena plays drums and guitar in indie rock bands”.

Jack and Coach Jon (Jon De La Torre) recently completed a 12-week progression program focused on increasing Jack’s one rep max across the Big Three: bench press, squat, and deadlift.

In just 12 weeks, Jack’s numbers increased across all three lifts:

Bench Press: 225 lbs to 260 lbs Squat: 245 lbs to 355 lbs Deadlift: 245 lbs to 405 lbs

That’s a 35 pound increase on bench, 110 pounds on squat, and 160 pounds on deadlift.
Three lifts. Twelve weeks. A whole lot stronger.

Jack and coach Jon, keep doing it ALL and kick ASS doing it!

Everyday aches and pains can affect how we move and feel. We asked our coaches how strength training can help improve movement and manage discomfort.

Jaime (): “I have regretted skipping workouts many times (and even years) in my life; I have never regretted working out, especially when my body was complaining and my mind was searching for the most valid excuses. How we treat and use our bodies most of the day has the greatest impact on our level of physical comfort. When we incorporate functional strength training workouts into our weekly routine, we have regular opportunities to evaluate our imbalances, discover the motions (or lack thereof) that exacerbate our discomforts, and immediately take action to relieve aches and pains.”

John (): “By having strength training as part of your regular weekly life, you will resolve many aches and pains. First off, having stronger muscles from proper strength training regularly, you will have muscular balance in your joints, relieving any torsion in regular day-to-day movements. Second, continual strength training will make every day movements seem much more effortless than without strength training. Third by having stronger muscles in muscular balance, you’ll have better skeletal posture, which will keep away many aches and pains.”
