Our Truth: Sustained well-being is built on a foundation that extends far beyond the physical.

At Studio Lateralus, we believe that fitness shouldn’t feel like a punishment or rocket science. If it does, you’re probably doing something wrong. We encourage you to discover the “whys” behind your fitness goals and merge them with your life aspirations.

OUR MANTRA

Spiral Out,
Keep Going!

We’ll help you out of your comfort zone, break those vicious cycles and show you how to sustain your growth.

Fitness for us is the holy trinity of well-being

Lifestyle

We’re talking about your every-day – from what you eat, how you exercise to how you rest & recover. Whether it’s taking the stairs instead, or finding peace in a midday walk, we believe in weaving wellness into your daily life until it feels like, well, living. 

Performance

Ever wanted to run faster, lift heavier or just keep up with your kids at the park? Performance is about setting goals and smashing them. It’s the thrill of seeing what your body can do, and then pushing it further.

Aesthetics

Chasing impossible standards might not be your answer but there’s no shame in wanting to look good. Let’s achieve your goal weight in a healthy manner, together. Trust us, the glow & confidence that comes from loving what you see in the mirror is incomparable.

At Lateralus, balancing the holy trinity is our strategy for a fit, fulfilling life paired with our approach of clarity, commitment and consistency

From the Founder’s Desk

Hey You!

I’m Umar Farooq. The heart and hustle behind Studio Lateralus. Like many of you, I’ve walked the path of fitness myself. Feeling lost and disconnected with my body, I sought solace in the world of movement. I began my journey in Mixed Martial Arts (Muay Thai & Jiu Jitsu) which helped me discover the profound connection between physical exertion and mental clarity. I strongly believe that with the right guidance, discipline and will power – we can all achieve what we set out to. I know I did.

As a Master Trainer with over 13+ years of experience in diverse areas like Tai Chi, Meditation, Animal Flow and more, I bring a wealth of knowledge with me. But more importantly, I understand the human struggle – the desire for results, the frustration with plateaus, and the need for a supportive environment to flourish.

I’m not here to sell you quick-fixes, just a commitment – to understanding your unique needs and building a sustainable routine that empowers you from within.

Take The Leap

Whether you’re looking for group energy, personal guidance, or just curious about where this journey can take you, we’re here to walk it with you.
