ABOUT DESIATA TRAINING

A more personal approach to getting stronger, healthier, and more confident.

Spencer and Maddy Desiata built Desiata Training around a simple belief: fitness should challenge you, but it should also feel personal, supportive, and realistic.

Both Rhode Island natives, they met in a gym in 2019 and began their careers as personal trainers before eventually opening Desiata Training in Warren. From the start, their goal has been to create a place where thoughtful coaching, honesty, personality, and community make people genuinely want to keep showing up.

That community has become a big part of Desiata’s story. Spencer and Maddy have spoken about how warmly Warren welcomed them and how much they value being part of the town’s local business community. In 2025, Desiata Training was voted Best Fitness Studio in the East Bay in Rhode Island Monthly’s Best of Rhode Island Readers’ Poll.

Desiata Training is also very much a family business. Spencer and Maddy welcomed their first child, Henry, in July 2026, and clients may also spot their pups, Abe and Daisy, around the gym.

At the end of the day, their approach is simple: meet people where they are, help them get stronger and more confident, and create an environment that feels less like a traditional gym and more like a community you’re comfortable being part of.
