With a background in Kinesiology, physical therapy, and competitive sports, Hannah’s approach to training is backed by both science and real-world experience. Whether you're looking to increase strength, recover from an injury, or improve athletic performance, Hannah has the expertise to help you reach your goals.

Let’s get to know Hannabolic and see why she’s one of Irvine’s top strength coaches.

From Multi-Sport Athlete to Strength Coach

Hannah’s fitness journey started in middle school and took her through nearly every sport imaginable. Basketball, volleyball, track and field, lacrosse, Olympic weightlifting, bouldering, and now rugby—she’s done it all. But one thing has remained constant: her love for weight training.

“Lifting has always been my foundation,” Hannah shares. “No matter what sport I played, strength training was always part of my routine. It’s what made me feel strong, confident, and capable.”

Her passion for movement led her to Cal State Fullerton, where she originally pursued a B.S. in Biology. But after being inspired by her own coaches and seeing firsthand the impact of strength training on overall health, she switched her focus to Kinesiology—a decision that changed her career path forever.

Now, with a B.S. in Kinesiology and an A.S. in Physical Therapist Assistance from Concorde Career College in Garden Grove, Hannah combines her scientific knowledge with hands-on coaching to help her clients train smarter and safer.

What Makes Hannabolic’s Coaching Unique?

Hannah’s coaching philosophy is not just about lifting heavier or working harder—it’s about training smarter and safer. With a background in injury prevention, biomechanics, and rehabilitation, she is dedicated to optimizing movement patterns to improve strength while reducing the risk of injury.

Her coaching philosophy includes:

• Science-Based Strength Training – Using proper biomechanics and progressive overload for real, measurable results.
• Injury Prevention & Recovery – Incorporating mobility work, corrective exercises, and recovery strategies to keep clients pain-free.
• Confidence & Mindset – Helping clients feel stronger, healthier, and more capable—both inside and outside the gym.

“Hitting a new PR is great, but feeling confident in your body every day? That’s the real goal,” she says.
