Appreciating that Fitness Ablaze Training Center is not just another gym requires understanding the values and approach of owner Andrew “Bo” Tinaza.

Tinaza, a former standout athlete from Shelton High School and the Skokomish Indian Tribe, started college with the intent to train elite athletes. He graduated from Western Washington University in Kinesiology (Exercise Science) with an offer shortly thereafter to train the collegiate athletes at Washington State University. It was then that Tinaza realized he wanted to make a bigger difference in the health and fitness by reaching more people. Tinaza returned to the Olympia area with hopes of helping a larger demographic of the population achieve their fitness goals.

In just two short years after opening Fitness Ablaze Training Center, Tinaza has guided hundreds of people toward improving their health and fitness. Abiding by the Japanese philosophy of kaizen, Tinaza believes in continuous improvement for himself and clients.

Tinaza feels strongly that he serves as a coach to his clients not just a trainer. “Anyone can make someone tired in a workout but not everyone can make a person feel better about themselves and help them discover the true meaning of their fitness goals,” explains Tinaza.

Fitness Ablaze Training Center coach and owner, Andrew “Bo” Tinaza helps people discover the true meaning of their fitness goals.

“My education qualifies me as a trainer. But my core values and approach make me a coach,” he continues.  “I understand how to inspire people, help them gain confidence and believe in themselves. It is when they start believing in themselves that they can truly accomplish their goals and become a better version of themselves.”

Tinaza clearly distinguishes that it is not about changing oneself or comparing to others but rather upgrading oneself to become a better version of who you really are.

“I consult with clients on what their ‘big why’ or ‘it’ is in order to discover the deeper reasoning for their goals.” Tinaza explains a common scenario of someone wanting to lose weight.  He admits while the goal of losing weight is common, the reason for this goal is different for each person. For example, one of his clients who came to Fitness Ablaze Training Center to lose weight discovered her ‘big why’ and ‘it’ came out of fear of not being able to keep up with her children-especially in the event of danger.

Alternatively, another client’s weight loss goals focused on keeping a low body fat ratio in order to be competitive as a collegiate athlete. As an all-inclusive training center, Tinaza develops customized training plans for each individual based on their fitness level, goals and what is identified during strategy sessions.  Tinaza also offers nutrition advice and body fat testing. Tinaza administers a private social media page for members so that they can directly ask him questions or schedule strategy sessions.

Tinaza’s expertise in fitness has been recognized well beyond the walls of the Fitness Ablaze Training Center. He recently co-authored the book “The Rapid Body Makeover” in which Tinaza contributed the chapter titled, “Female Strength Training: Do You Want a Leaner, Stronger, Better Body?”  Tinaza was selected to author this chapter because of his mixture of power training, strength training, functional training and conditioning expertise.  Tinaza comments that “the majority of who I train are females and I wanted to dispel the myths of female strength and power training.”

Tinaza reflects on the last couple of years after opening Fitness Ablaze Training Center and how rewarding it has been to help so many people look, feel and move better. “I love training the general population. I can get more results with more people. It is so satisfying knowing that you are helping people change their lives by how the feel inside. The result might be weight loss but watching their confidence grow and how they smile more-the difference is crazy.”
