About this Event

Stronger Together is a women-led workshop designed to help you move, learn, and connect in a welcoming space.

Hosted by Tequihua Self Defense and 5W Gym, this two-hour session brings together three expert coaches to guide you through strength, mobility, and self-defense. Whether you’re completely new to self-defense/fitness, or already active, every session is adaptable to your level.

Meet your coaches:

  • Valerie Sanchez, Self-Defense Instructor
  • Abby Carmona, Fitness Instructor
  • Yuuka Ikeshita , Fitness & Lifestyle Coach

Together, they’ll guide you through hands-on, empowering, and practical sessions that support both your physical health and personal safety.

We’ll also have local vendors on-site, including Healthy Donuts Co and cold-pressed immunity shots available for purchase, so you can refuel and connect after the workshop. We will also have other healthy snacks and fruit water at no extra cost!

Come alone or with friends—this is a space to try something new, connect with others, and leave feeling empowered!
