At WESTCA Gym, our journey began with the dream of Tory Reign, a three-time Olympian and IFBB Professional Men's Physique Bodybuilder. Tory's successful career as a personal trainer and nutrition coach fueled his ambition to create a unique fitness haven. His ultimate goal was to empower individuals to feel the utmost confidence in their bodies.

Tory's personal transformation from a former Division I basketball player at UCSB, who felt uncertain and lacked self-assurance about his body after his basketball career and college, is a story many can relate to. He ventured into bodybuilding with the desire to have a more defined appearance, seeking to feel confident in social settings, whether it was at clubs or Vegas pool parties. While this sentiment may seem superficial to some, it resonates with many individuals seeking self-improvement.

Meaghan Karabatsos, co-owner of WESTCA Gym, initially considered it more of a hobby. She was a high-tech sales executive in Silicon Valley, always athletic and sporty, but it was her newfound passion for weight training and competing in "Bikini" bodybuilding competitions that changed the course of her life. Her background in business perfectly complemented Tory's fitness expertise, making her the ideal partner for the venture.

What began as a side gig quickly evolved into a genuine passion for helping people transform their lives through fitness. The collaboration between Tory — a professional bodybuilder and Meaghan — a tech professional with Silicon Valley insights, has proven to be a perfect blend. Tory brings years of experience in the science of building muscle and losing body fat, while Meaghan carries the knowledge and experienced challenges that almost all working professionals face — the struggle to balance work, life, and personal well-being.

WESTCA Gym represents the fusion of these two worlds—proven knowledge and results in body transformation from a professional in the sport, combined with a deep understanding of the real challenges of living and working in Silicon Valley. Our mission is to guide and empower individuals on their fitness journeys, helping them achieve their goals and feel confident in their own skin. Join us at WESTCA Gym, where we turn dreams into reality and fitness into a lifestyle
