Chris Esquivel
Gym Zaddy / Head Coach / A-CFHC / CF-L2
Chris’ journey through health and fitness has been a long and winding road. As a high level athlete with a long and complicated injury history, Chris knows first hand what it feels like to get thrown out of a routine. He also knows that how we respond in these moments of adversity has the power to define us much more than any given setback. Chris’ start as a fitness instructor began after one such obstacle, the latest in a series of major knee injuries that helped him reconnect to his passion for anything athletic.
Armed with a new resolve, Chris completed his ACE trainer certification in 2010. Shortly thereafter he began leading outdoor fitness classes in San Francisco. This role would lead to many opportunities to coach both individuals and companies, not only in fitness, but in all aspects of health. Always hungry in his quest for more knowledge and experience, Chris became a CrossFit Level 1 trainer in 2016, an ADAPT-Certified Functional Health Coach in 2022, and a CrossFit Level 2 trainer in 2023.
Chris’ main focus these days is on holistic health, and how to provide practical tools for people to thrive in a complex modern world. His philosophy is that maximizing our chance of living a long and healthy life need not be complicated, and that consistency, as well as strong yet simple foundations are the key. When not in the gym you’ll find Chris on the golf course, deep into a crossword, making food with friends, or tearing up the dance floor with his wife Sandra.
Chris is available for remote health coaching, nutritional guidance, and bespoke personal training programs. Reach out to him for more info at chris@thebarnfitnesscollective.com

Briana O'Connor
A NASM-Certified Personal Trainer and Sports Performance Specialist, Briana works as a Functional Movement & Holistic Nutrition Coach and Group Fitness Trainer. Her passion is to encourage an intuitive approach to health and fitness. She believes that by building total-body awareness through core & joint stabilization, developed mind-muscle connection, matching breath to movement, and mindful nutrition, we strengthen our neural pathways and create a healthy lifestyle from the inside out.
Through athletic conditioning and functional movement, she teaches her clients to utilize multiple muscles of the body to work together as one strong unit. She emphasizes proper technique and form through compound lifts, correcting muscle imbalances & injury prevention, and supplementing yoga for mobility. Her holistic approach to nutrition is colored with foods that aim to nourish the body, coaching her clients to learn how to eat intuitively, rather than strict dieting.
Through her programming, Briana strives to empower each of her clients to grow a deeper connection with themselves through the nourishment of food, mindfulness and movement, so that we can all experience a life of doing the things we love with the ones we love!
