Your pickleball home is here

Chris Null

Pickleball Instructor

Chris had his first tennis lesson ever at the Paseo Club almost 15 years ago and has been involved as a member and coach since that time. He played four years at Valencia High School and coached six more for both girls' and boys' teams.

In early 2019 he picked up pickleball and hasn't been able to put it down. His favorite part of coaching is working with kids and helping them find the love for these sports that he found here. 

Chris teaches both tennis and pickleball at Paseo Club, and is available for private pickleball instruction for $70 per hour.

Daniel Peterson-Beliakoff

Pickleball Manager, Personal Trainer

My name is Daniel Peterson-Beliakoff. I graduated from California State University-Northridge in psychology and philosophy. I am a former researcher at the David Geffen Medical School of UCLA, and I am a personal trainer here at the Paseo Club.

My academic interests include behavioral psychology, philosophy of mind, and the mind-body connection. After completing my undergraduate degrees, I further pursued my interests as a researcher for the Department of Psychiatry at David Geffen Medical School. There, I focused on drug development for a variety of medical and neurological illnesses, including Alzheimer’s disease. During my years of research, I witnessed the healing power of fitness on trauma and mental wellness, both firsthand and through my research. Because of this, I pursued a personal training certification specializing in trauma-informed strength training and mobility-flexibility training for tennis and pickleball. 

The most important relationship any person has is the one between their body and their mind. It is the connection that allows for all our other relationships to exist. Through my work in the behavior science sector, in research, and in personal training,

I have helped clients from a wide range of backgrounds. What I have discovered is that mastering the relationship between our body and mind is incredibly difficult, let alone achieving health goals. Whether it be figuring out where to begin or knowing exactly what to do given out personal circumstance, the journey to health is not always straightforward and this where I come in. To assist beginners and lifelong health enthusiasts, I take a holistic approach to training by incorporating not only the body but also the mind in optimizing their relationship, leading to greater outcomes in the world and on the court.
