You are one workout away from a better mood.

Hi, I’m Randall, head coach and founder of Red Panda Fit.

Before I opened this studio, I spent 15 years teaching high school English and coaching various sports teams after school.  I worked with teens as their baseball, softball, and soccer coach. I have a B.A. in English from UCLA and an MA in Education from UC Berkeley.

After the pandemic, I decided to go full tilt into the world of fitness coaching and became NASM-certified. I coached in a range of big-box gyms, attended fitness conferences, completed the Spartan Trifecta, hired a bodybuilding coach for six months, and even participated in an exercise study for another six months.  I am never done learning, and I want to continue to grow as a coach for the benefit of my clients.

Outside of the studio, you might catch me walking our dog Fiona, playing recreational sports, playing an instrument, boardgames with friends, or dancing salsa and bachata.  I train so that I can be fit and enjoy all that life has to offer for as long as possible. I want the same things for my clients: to be strong and healthy so that they too can thrive.

Let’s work hard, let’s get stronger, and let’s have some fun in the process!  Paws up.
