Codi Herr

Gerardo "Jerry" Montiel is a strength and rehabilitation specialist focused on movement mechanics, lower back health, and pain-free training. Jerry’s career was born out of personal necessity; after a severe lower back injury at 16, he spent years navigating physical fear, joint pain, and the frustration of feeling stuck in a body he couldn't trust. His life transformed when he stopped hiding from exercise and learned how to rebuild his body through proper biomechanics and smart resistance training.

Over the last decade, Jerry has coached hundreds of women through physical limitations, helping them rebuild core stability and eliminate joint pain. His work hit closest to home when his mother suffered two herniated discs. Through tailored movement programming and step-by-step coaching, Jerry helped her overcome the pain, restore full function, and regain her physical confidence.

Jerry specializes in lower back rehabilitation, injury prevention, and customized training strategies focused on empowering women to move without fear, protect their joints, and build a body they can rely on for life.
