The Coaches

YOUR
TEAM

Real coaches with real experience. Not fitness influencers with a certification. People who have lived the grind, hit walls, rebuilt, and came out the other side — and now exist to help you do the same.

9+ yrsIn the Industry
Age 12Started Training
24/7Commitment

Ty Gundlach's relationship with fitness started not in a gym, but in competition. He began training at age 12 — a foundation built through years of disciplined work that eventually led to a professional career in the fitness industry spanning over nine years.

During the pandemic, Ty transitioned from his work in the Twin Cities to running a personal training operation out of a friend's facility in Menomonie, WI. From there, he stepped in to manage a struggling Snap Fitness location in Kenosha, WI — and turned it profitable.

That experience — building something from scratch, fixing what's broken, and creating an environment where people actually want to train — is what District 507 was born from. Ty brings operational expertise, coaching depth, and genuine investment in every member who walks through the door.

"We didn't open this gym to make money. We opened it because Rochester needed a gym we'd actually want to train in ourselves."

RealTransformation Coach

Maria Gundlach stepped on stage for the first time in July 2023 — and discovered her purpose. The process of preparing for bodybuilding competition, the discipline it demanded, and the transformation it created lit a fire that hasn't gone out since.

That experience gave her something that most coaches never have: a firsthand understanding of what it truly takes. Not just the training — the nutrition precision, the mental battle, the physical sacrifice, and the extraordinary reward of stepping on stage with full confidence in your work.

Today, Maria guides members through their own transformations with that same intensity and precision. Whether you're preparing for competition or just want to make the most dramatic change of your life, Maria is the coach who has lived it and knows how to get you there.

"Stepping on stage taught me what I was capable of. Now my entire purpose is helping other people discover the same thing about themselves."

40+ lbsGained in 6 Months
113 → 160His Own Journey
RealTransformation

Jay Ozuna's story is one of the most honest in fitness. He began weightlifting young, driven by competitive wrestling — a sport that demanded year-round training and discipline. Despite the hard work, he struggled to gain weight. He hovered around 113 pounds throughout his wrestling years, held back not by lack of effort, but by a lack of proper nutritional knowledge. He was constantly told to "just eat more." No one ever actually taught him how.

After high school, Jay stepped away from training entirely. He found himself in an unhealthy place — physically and mentally. The loss of several close family members compounded everything. He reached a turning point where something had to change before things spiraled further.

A close friend stepped in. He took Jay under his wing, reintroduced structure, accountability, and discipline into his life — and pushed him to train alongside him during competition prep. Jay was forced outside his comfort zone immediately. Through intense training, proper nutrition, and nonstop education, he committed fully to the process.

In six months, Jay gained over 40 pounds — reaching 160 pounds and feeling better than he ever had. His energy, focus, confidence, and mindset all transformed. But more importantly, he found purpose again.

As people began noticing his progress and asking for guidance, he realized that helping others improve their health, confidence, and mindset was the most rewarding thing he had ever done. That realization is what led him to pursue a career in fitness — built on education, accountability, and creating real, lasting change through training.

"I know what it feels like to be in the worst place of your life. And I know what it feels like to build your way out of it. That's the only qualification that actually matters to me."
