Raphael Velazquez
Founder · Performance and Wellness Specialist
For more than a decade, Raphael has helped individuals build strength, improve performance and develop lasting physical capacity. His experience spans private coaching, strength and conditioning, sports performance and Equinox.
Vela brings that experience into a deliberately personal practice, built around the individual and the life they want to lead.
Experience with purpose
Raphael holds a B.S. in Exercise Science, is an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and is a Titleist Performance Institute Certified professional.
His work with executives, entrepreneurs and performance-focused clients informs a practical approach: understand the person, design with intention and coach with care.
A personal standard
Respect, trust and consistency shape every Vela relationship. Coaching creates space for honest conversation, focused effort and steady progress.
The aim is lasting physical capacity: strength for the demands of today and the freedom to keep doing what matters in the years ahead.
Private coaching currently serves Northern New Jersey. Service in Celina, Frisco and Prosper, Texas begins June 2027.
