01 / THE STUDIO
Welcome to L&M Thrive Fitness, your neighborhood personal training studio on Divisadero.
Founded by Matthew Stout and Luciana Pires, our studio is a place to focus on yourself. We keep training personal, with one-on-one guidance and a program shaped around what matters to you.
Whether you’re getting started, getting back into a routine, or ready for your next challenge, we’ll meet you where you are.
Good training starts with paying attention. We coach you to slow down, notice your breathing, and focus on one movement cue at a time. That attention gives us room to refine your form and build from the basics as you progress.
Practice the same approach outside the studio: choose one manageable goal, set aside distractions, and give it your attention. Schedule a walk, take a movement break, or make time for recovery. Small actions repeated consistently are the habits we want to help you build.
Start with simple choices: include a source of protein, add a variety of fruits and vegetables, choose whole grains, and keep water within reach. Plan a few easy meals around your routine, then build on what works for you—one habit at a time.

No. Your training can start with the basics or build on the experience you already have. We’ll talk through your goals and current routine to find your starting point.
L&M Thrive Fitness is a private personal training studio. Sessions are by appointment, so please arrange a time with your trainer before visiting.
That depends on your goals, schedule, and the training you do outside the studio. Your trainer will help you choose a routine you can maintain.
