Who we are
ALTAR was never built to be just a gym.
Founded by husband-and-wife team Audri and Keith Saylors, ALTAR is a whole-body, whole-life wellness studio rooted in the belief that transformation happens when strength meets spirit, discipline meets devotion, and movement becomes more than exercise. For us, this is personal. Long before ALTAR, there was Together Strong — our family's gym, where community came before commerce and people were known by their names, not their numbers. It taught us that a gym could be more than a place people came to work out. It could become a place people came to belong. That legacy lives here. ALTAR carries those roots forward while creating something entirely its own: a modern sanctuary for movement, strength, restoration, healing, and human connection.
Here, fitness is ritual.
Movement is medicine.
Community is sacred.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND ALTAR
ALTAR is the intersection of two lives built around service, strength, and community. Audri brings years of experience across health, wellness, movement, coaching, and leadership, with a belief that caring for the body should never require abandoning the person living inside it. Keith brings a lifetime of service, leadership, resilience, and the understanding that real strength is often built quietly — through consistency, sacrifice, and showing up for the people beside you.
Together, we wanted to create the kind of place we believed should exist. Not another room asking people to become smaller.A space giving them permission to become more. As parents, we also wanted our children to witness what it looks like to build something rooted in purpose. They have grown alongside ALTAR, helped within it, and become part of its story.
This is a business, but it is also a family legacy.
And we hope everyone who walks through our doors feels invited into it.
🜂 THE CORE
Our leaders. Our standard.
Our team is intentionally built with instructors, educators, trainers, and wellness professionals who bring knowledge, experience, heart, and humanity into every room. We believe great coaching goes beyond programming a workout. It means knowing how to challenge people while creating safety. How to lead without ego. How to read a room. How to make someone feel seen. We don't simply train instructors.
We develop leaders who know how to hold space for becoming.
🜁 THE CIRCLE
Our community. Our foundation.
Every body. Every background. Every story. You belong here. ALTAR is for the seasoned athlete and the first-timer. The person chasing a goal and the person finding themselves again. The strong. The healing. The rebuilding. The curious. The becoming.
There is no prerequisite for belonging here.
You belong before you perform.
🜃 THE PRACTICE
Movement with intention.
From rhythm-based cycling and performance training to functional strength, restorative movement, breathwork, ritual, and whole-person wellness, every ALTAR experience is designed with purpose. We believe you can train hard without punishing your body. You can pursue progress without disconnecting from yourself. You can build physical strength while caring for your nervous system, mind, and spirit. Because wellness shouldn't ask you to choose between strength and softness.
There is room for both.
BUILT FROM LEGACY. CREATED FOR WHAT'S NEXT.
ALTAR is a Latino-owned, Veteran-owned, woman-led, family-built, community-anchored studio founded on inclusion, integrity, representation, service, and impact. We created ALTAR for the ones becoming.
The ones rebuilding.
The ones rising.
The ones beginning again.
The ones ready to discover what they're capable of.
And the ones simply looking for somewhere they can exhale and belong.
This isn't about becoming worthy.
It's about creating space to meet the person you're already becoming.
