Hi! I’m Heather.
I grew up in Detroit and moved to California in 2020.
I’m a bikini bodybuilding champion, longtime martial arts competitor, athlete & coach, and movement specialist with years of experience teaching both adults and kids.
After a serious hamstring injury forced me to step away from competing in 2023, I rebuilt my relationship with movement from the ground up, and now help others do the same so they can feel stronger, safer, and more at home in their bodies. Its a beautiful thing!

what is the movement lab?
Movement Lab is Punchline Fitness’s signature group training approach blending strength, yoga-informed movement, and fight-inspired skill building into sessions designed for real life.
Sessions focus on coordination, resilience, and confidence; not intensity for its own sake.
Participants learn practical movement skills drawn from boxing, jiu-jitsu, and self-defense alongside strength and mobility work that supports long-term joint health.
Movement Lab sessions are offered in parks, small-group settings, and through campus and community wellness programming across Long Beach.
No experience or equipment is needed to start, just curiosity about what your body can do.
