About Us

Square One Fitness is a fitness center in Albuquerque designed for people who've never quite felt at home in a regular gym. Whether you got hurt at a bootcamp and swore off group fitness, walked into a big gym, saw the power lifters and turned back around, or you know you need to start moving but have no idea where to begin - so many options out there feel like they were built for somebody twenty years younger and thirty pounds lighter! If any of that sounds familiar, you've found the place for you!

Dr. Emily Blair opened Square One in 2017 with a pretty specific vision: a small, calm, welcoming space where adults 40 and older could actually learn how to get strong without getting hurt. As a chiropractor, she'd seen too many people going through the same pattern: try something too intense, get injured, give up, repeat. 

At Square One, our sessions are purposely limited to three to four people, so you get real attention and real feedback every time you show up. The methods draw on Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, or DNS, a movement approach featured in Dr. Peter Attia's book "Outlive," which focuses on building genuine stability instead of just pushing through tension.

The studio serves people in perimenopause and menopause, people coming back from injury or surgery, beginners, and anyone who has spent years thinking fitness just was not for them. You don't need to get in shape before you come in. That's what WE'RE here to help you with!

Square One is located at 3311 Candelaria Rd NE in Albuquerque. Call (505) 533-4602 or schedule a free fitness consultation online today!
