About Owen Dockham:
Hi, I'm Owen. I started Live Oak Strength and co-founded EverStrongSF with Abe Williams. We use science and robots to help make people stronger - safely, efficiently and with a dash of humor. We don't do trends or fitness fads. If you're busy like everyone else, I have good news for you. You do not need to go to the gym 3-6 days a week to turn your health around. In fact, that strategy usually makes people fatter, sicker, less fit and more likely to burn out and get sick all the time.
When your workouts are personalized to you and supervised by one of my expert strength training instructors at either of our two locations, just one or two twenty-minute workouts a week will get you to your strongest and healthiest genetic potential in record time. I'm not joking around here. This is serious stuff.
My team of instructors have decades of combined experience helping people make some serious improvements in their quality of life with efficient, focused evidenced base strength training. Like I said before, all it takes is twenty minutes once or twice a week to make profoundly impactful progress.
