Study Hall at Oak & Grist Distilling is your chance to listen and learn from local experts and scholars. We are bringing specialists from a wide variety of fields to the distillery to speak on what they know best. Come curious, ask questions, sip something good and connect with good humans.
We’ve got two speakers for you this month, Tera Pruett & Luis Baltierrez. Their combined talk will be on Training with Intention.
Together, they’ll break down how to build real, sustainable strength, why chasing fitness trends doesn’t work, and how the body adapts when training is done with intention. The focus is exercise prescription—what to do, why it matters, and how to make it work for real life over the long haul. Nutrition will make a quick cameo, but movement, consistency, community, and real-life application take center stage.
About Tera & Luis
My name is Luis Baltierrez, and for the past 10 years I’ve had the opportunity and blessing to make an impact in people’s lives through fitness and health. I truly believe our bodies were created to move and do great things.
Being a coach is extremely rewarding—it’s exciting, it challenges me, and it’s allowed me to grow in countless ways while giving me the tools to become a better coach, leader, and human. I’ve seen what people are capable of with determination, resilience, and the support of a strong community. Stepping onto the floor, throwing kettlebells, and competing is something special—and it’s an experience I want others to feel too.
Through Caffeine N Fitness, my focus is community—showing up, supporting one another, and celebrating the people who make this space what it is. We’re here to help, guide, and build something bigger together.
I’m Tera Pruett—strength, endurance, and adventure coach with over 20 years of experience and zero interest in quick-fix fitness BS. I coach for the long haul: smart exercise prescription, consistency over perfection, and building strength that supports real life inside the gym and out on the trails.
Connection is at the heart of my coaching. My clients aren’t just people I train—they’re community, chosen family, and humans I’m deeply invested in. This work is about building trust, resilience, and capable bodies that last through seasons of life, not just a few weeks.
Through The Unstoppable Rebel Collective and my work alongside Caffeine N Fitness, I’m here to build strong humans, strong relationships, and a community rooted in movement, adventure, and showing up together.
