About

Gravitas Human Performance Laboratory is a fitness and performance company located in Santa Barbara, California. Started in 2013 by long time friends and business partners Eric Malzone and Traver H. Boehm, Gravitas is now helping clients around the globe achieve their fitness, dietary, weight loss, and performance goals. People just like you.
In 2009 the two Boston College Water Polo teammates took a leap of faith and moved to Santa Barbara to open CrossFit Pacific Coast. Knowing no one in the city, and opening shop in what was arguably the worst economy in U.S history after the depression, the two relied on hard work and a never ending love of health and fitness to quickly build one of the largest strength and conditioning facilities in Central California.

For well over 500 gym members, the group fitness model was a great match and wildly surpassed their fitness expectations. However, all along the way there were people who needed something different – something more personal or less public. With services only available to those clients living in the Central California area the coaches knew there were many people in need of real world, tried and tested, fitness knowledge, motivation, and expertise who were not getting it.
Enter Gravitas. Gravitas utilizes the same high level coaching that worked in the group model but simply focuses on the individual or particular sport at hand. Now through personal training sessions in Santa Barbara, distance fitness program design, skype, and the internet, Traver, Eric and their team of world class coaches now work one-on-one with clients assisting them in every area of their health and fitness lives.
