Meet the Staff – Isaac Barreto

In 2018, he graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a degree in Decision Science from the Dietrich College. Studying psychology and decision-making systems shaped how he approaches coaching today – combining intelligent programming with behavioral structure to help clients train consistently and with purpose.
A bicycle accident in 2022 reframed his perspective on fitness. The recovery process shifted his focus from chasing numbers to building resilience in spinal health, movement quality, mobility, and strength that carries beyond the gym into daily life.
Isaac trains year-round across strength, endurance, and mobility disciplines — cycling through Pittsburgh’s summers, practicing hot yoga, preparing for endurance races, and competing in HYROX-style events — maintaining a hybrid approach to performance that values both engine and durability.
He blends strength training, hybrid conditioning, and mobility work to help Union Fitness members build strong, adaptable bodies that perform well and last beyond the session.
