Meet your Coach
I’m Keighty (she/her) — a trauma-informed, certified trainer who believes fitness should feel more like play than punishment.
With 15 years of experience training all types of folks, from professional athletes, weekend warriors, cancer surviors, dads with bad backs to moms who need an hour to themselves, I'm here to help people build a movement practice they actually understand and enjoy.
After my competitive track and field career went sideways (thanks, toxic fear-based coaching), I decided there had to be a better way. So in 2012, I opened my fitness studio called Tight Club Athletics in Vancouver, BC. It was a joyful rebellion against diet culture and shame-based fitness. Community, mental health, and "movement for life" became our heartbeat for over 8 years.
Now based in Ventura, CA, I offer a mix of in-person training at my private home studio and host an ever-growing workout library full of functional, feel-good classes.
Whether you're training for a surf trip, a hike, or just life in general, I’ve got your back.
Hire me for your retreat, your seasonal reset, or to get out for a walk. When you train with me, you’ll find a space where all bodies are welcome, and taking up space is fully encouraged.
Tight Club was born on the stolen lands of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, Sechelt, and Squamish Nations, and continues to thrive on Chumash territory.
Meet your Coach
Hey! I’m Keighty Gallagher — a coach, lifelong athlete, and big believer that life is worth training for.
My own relationship with movement started on the track. I competed at a high level, earned a Division I track scholarship, and spent years learning what it meant to train like an athlete.
These days, my version of athleticism looks a little different. I surf, snowboard, hike, bike, lift heavy things, and want my body to be ready when life presents an opportunity to play.
I’ve been coaching for over 15 years, and somewhere along the way I realized that the principles of athletic training shouldn’t be reserved for competitive athletes.
That’s what I’m here to share. Good training doesn’t need to feel intimidating or overly serious. We’ll work hard, train with purpose, learn a few things along the way, and have a great time doing it.
You don’t have to be the strongest, fastest, youngest, or most experienced person in the room. You just have to be interested in what your body might be capable of.
To me, an aspiring athlete is simply someone who sees life as their sport. And that’s who I train.

"There’s so much to love about Keighty and her phenomenal training work.
The workouts I get with Keighty are a far cry from the toxic gym culture of the days of yore. Keighty centers her clients teaching from a place of body awareness, often positioning herself as the assistant coach. The resulting workouts are easily personalized to address your needs/wants.
Forever grateful for the sunshine Keighty brings to my day and my fitness routine!"

"When you take a class, you can feel that Keighty is meant to coach. Her passion, experience, and knowledge show up in every movement and training plan.
Seeing myself and my training buddies getting stronger-all while laughing through class- has motivated me to make working out a regular practice (for the first time). She makes a bomb matcha too!"
Britt
Personal Training & Classes
"I’ve been training with Keighty since the early Tight Club days in Vancouver, so I’m beyond excited to have Keighty’s Cafe here in Ventura.
As a professional athlete, I’m incredibly selective about who I trust with my training—and Keighty is one of the very few. She has a rare ability to push you while making every workout feel approachable, effective, and fun. Her knowledge, energy, and attention to detail are unmatched. Tight Club has been a game changer for me, and I can’t recommend her enough."
