The Story

A small kid who learned to train.

Damion Lyons grew up with sports as a way of life: basketball, baseball, boxing and weight training. Damion was also a skinny, small kid who wanted to put on size and learn to defend themselves, so Damion dove in, obsessed over how to train properly and learned how to carry themselves.

Along the way, fitness taught discipline and how to set real, achievable goals. Now Damion passes that on at Trinity Training Facility in Long Beach, whether a client is throwing a first jab, preparing for HYROX or just wants to pick up kids, nieces or nephews without a second thought.

Away from the gym, Damion is behind a camera, trying something new, or spending time with friends and family.

Boxing

Boxing fundamentals in Long Beach.

Damion has trained in boxing for eight years and has coached it for five, and loves working with people who want to learn boxing fundamentals. Damion offers semi-private boxing classes alongside one-on-one training.

Sessions use The Ring. See how boxing training is organized across Trinity.

Strength & Hypertrophy

Build muscle, get stronger, take on HYROX.

With nearly ten years of weight training and strength and conditioning behind them, Damion loves helping people build muscle or tone up through solid strength training, or take on the challenge of competing in HYROX.

Credentials

ACSM certified, with a kinesiology degree.

Damion is an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, is AED/CPR certified and holds a B.S. in kinesiology with a focus on exercise science. That background is what lets Damion assess and break down how you move.

Damion is a certified personal trainer, not a medical provider. Talk to your doctor before starting a new training program, especially with an injury or a health condition.

The Approach

Intentional, not perfect.

Two ideas guide everything Damion does: it does not need to be perfect, it just needs to be intentional, and we all start from somewhere. Damion's gym experience and exercise science background make it possible to assess how you move, meet you where you are and build a game plan with modifications whenever you need them.

Fitness should also be fun, so Damion builds challenges that keep you engaged while staying aligned with your goals. Beyond the workouts, Damion teaches gym etiquette, discipline and the confidence to own any training space.

In sessions you get a well-structured workout and a coach who pushes you through the hard sets and asks for one more rep. Between sessions you follow your nutrition guide, complete check-ins and stay active outside the gym, because progress does not stop when you leave.

Real Progress

Progress that shows up in everyday life.

Damion describes one client who had a long history of struggling to lift and carry heavy things, and who today picks up a nephew with ease and enjoys time with family.

Another came to Damion after Achilles surgery, struggling with stairs and with standing for long periods, and unable to jog. After six months of training together, that client was walking again, jogging and had added boxing to the routine. These are Damion's accounts of individual clients, and results vary.
