Who Are We?
Genesis Training LLC

Started in 2020 during a difficult time to provide people an option to maintain and improve their fitness levels regardless of the circumstances. As the world changes, it is becoming more difficult for people to have access to the equipment to train. We are a mobile fitness and human optimization company that empowers individuals with the tools and resources necessary to meet their physical and mental goals. Whether you struggle with your health and fitness inside or outside of the gym, we have you covered.

Founded by athletic trainer Austin Moy, Genesis Training was an outlet for people to stay active, learn about their bodies, and improve their fitness when gyms were closed. Over the years, Genesis Training has seen tremendous growth and support from the Jersey City and Hoboken communities. We are the only fitness company that has both a physical private studio, affiliate gyms, and has the capabilities to service clients off-site at apartment gyms. Our team of fitness specialists are there for you. As we continue to grow, our primary goals are to continue to nurture personalized relationships with our clients to help them crush their goals.

As Genesis Training continues to service the community and Hudson County area, we have also expanded our horizons into the wellness space. We now have the capacity and certified team to provide services including; private yoga, small group classes, physical therapy, manual therapy, online fitness programs, nutrition plans, corporate wellness, and youth strength and conditioning. We believe anyone can benefit from our unique and personalized training approach.

THE GENERAL MANAGER

Stephen Clayton

Stephen Clayton is a lifelong athlete, coach, and business professional who brings decades of competitive sports experience, training, leadership, and mentorship to Genesis Training. A former full-scholarship football player at the University of Oregon, Stephen was part of championship teams that won both the Fiesta Bowl and Holiday Bowl and was later recognized as a member of the Oregon Football Hall of Fame Team in 2014. His athletic career began at Westview High School, where he earned 2× USA Today All-American honors in football, All-State recognition in baseball, and multiple all-league selections. His passion for athletics naturally led him into coaching and sports leadership, including managing youth and adult sports programs at the Multnomah Athletic Club in Portland, Oregon, with more than 21,000 members, coaching football at West Linn High School, and mentoring countless young athletes through youth football, baseball, and various training programs. Along the way, Stephen has also trained numerous adults looking to improve their health, fitness, strength, and overall quality of life.

For Stephen, personal training is about far more than simply completing workouts. His mission is to help people transform their lives through fitness, developing strength, discipline, confidence, and resilience that extend far beyond the gym. His personal mantra, “Discipline Over Motivation” (D.O.M.), is something he lives by and brings into every aspect of his coaching. Stephen believes motivation is the starting point that leads to commitment, commitment builds discipline, and discipline creates the habits that ultimately produce lasting transformation. At the same time, he is adamant that there are no shortcuts—true transformation requires consistently putting in the work. Stephen is committed to helping every client become stronger, healthier, and more capable than they ever believed possible—in mind, body, and soul.

Outside of Genesis Training, Stephen is a football fanatic who proudly cheers for his Oregon Ducks and San Francisco 49ers. His other passions include almost anything involving the great outdoors, healthy cooking, and music of almost every genre. Above all, Stephen is a proud father of four amazing children whom he says he would sacrifice everything for—two boys, ages 20 and 11, and two girls, ages 14 and 10. Being an athlete, coach, father, and lifelong student of health and fitness has shaped Stephen’s belief that becoming your best self isn’t just about what you can accomplish physically; it’s about developing the discipline, character, confidence, and consistency to become better in every area of life.

THE HEAD PHYSICAL THERAPIST

Betty Li

Betty Li, PT, DPT is the Head Physical Therapist of Genesis Training’s exclusive physical therapy and wellness partner, Gold-In Wellness. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from the University at Buffalo in 2016 and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Stony Brook University in 2020. With more than 10 years of experience in the health and fitness space, Betty has worked with an incredibly diverse range of clients - from those rehabilitating injuries or looking to prevent them, to pregnancy and postpartum mamas, combat sport athletes, and active older adults. Her range of experiences has shaped her belief that everyone is an athlete in their own right, and that physical therapy should reflect the demands of each person’s individual lifestyle.

Betty believes that movement is infinite. It is meant to be explored, challenged, and integrated seamlessly into both everyday life and athletic pursuits. Her approach to physical therapy is dynamic, detail-oriented, and highly individualized, with an emphasis on bridging the gap between rehabilitation, strength, and performance. Rather than simply helping clients become pain-free, Betty strives to help them build the confidence and physical capacity to return to, and continue progressing toward, the things that matter most to them.

Outside of working with clients, Betty loves staying active through kickboxing, traveling and exploring new parts of the world, and discovering good food along the way. Whether she’s in the gym or somewhere halfway across the world, she has always had a curiosity for movement, new experiences, and continuing to learn.
