PABLO GUTIERREZ

Coach Pablo has served as the Director of Youth Athletic Development at Coach Mo’s since joining the team in 2017. A former powerlifting State Champion, Coach Pablo decided to enter the field of Strength and Conditioning in order to make Youth/Collegiate Athletes better, faster, stronger and safer. He earned his Kinesiology Degree from Texas State University where he was both the Top Selling Trainer (2016) and Trainer of the Year (2017). During his time at Texas State, he interned under Strength and Conditioning Coach Leo Seitz (Olympic Sports). Following his graduation, he interned in the Strength and Conditioning Department at the University of Texas under the tutelage of Coach Anna Craig, Coach Schmitz, and Coach Abney.

APRIL JUAREZ

As Coach Mo says, “Being fit isn’t just a look, it’s a feeling.” April can totally relate. Having been a high school athlete and avid runner during college, April knows how amazing it is to feel strong, fit, and alive. But after spending 10 years behind a desk, April struggled with weight gain, fatigue, and pain in her lower back, shoulders, and neck. Ten years was enough! Through her own corrective exercise, fitness, and wellness journey, April now lives pain free. And for over the past decade, she has made fitness and wellness an integral part of her personal and professional life.

As a corrective exercise specialist and wellness coach, April guides clients through individualized fitness and wellness programs designed to improve physical mobility, reduce chronic pain, and build mindful habits that create sustainable change. She provides fitness and wellness services to clients in their homes or via Zoom (depending on individual needs and location).
