Languages: Spanish and English
Certifications: NETA Certified Personal Trainer
Certified since: 2022
Training specialties: Bodybuilding, weight loss, strength training, functional training, muscle gain, mobility, and flexibility, macronutrients
Training style/what I like about training: Hi everyone, I’ve been training since I was 15 years old and have found out over time that my passion is to help people change their lives in the simplest and most realistic way possible. I believe everyone deserves the right to good health and to be happy with themselves inside and out. Getting fit and healthy does not have to be difficult, but often it is, why is that?

Certifications: ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer, ISSA Certified Specialist in Fitness Nutrition
Certified since: 2016
Training specialties: Weight loss, strength training, functional training, muscle gain, mobility, weight gain, and nutrition/meal planning
Training style/what I like about training: Just like you, I have been through a lot of uphill and downhill battles when it comes to my body and health. I was always very slim with no muscle, had a hard time gaining weight, and grew up with horrible eating habits. Once I got into a normal gym routine, I fell in love with my results from exercising consistently, and slowly learned more about weight training and nutrition. Getting into shape is the best thing anyone can do for the longevity of their life. If you have low energy, want to be more productive, and want to change your daily habits, let’s get together and talk about how we can reach your goals!

Languages: English
Certifications: National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, ClinicalAthlete Certified Weightliftng Coach, StrongFirst Bodyweight Strength Coach, Functional Movement System Certified
Certified since: 2017
Training specialties: Strength and conditioning, functional movement training and mobility, older adults, return to training from injury
Training style/what I like about training: I look at training as a process of discovery. Through the course of physical training, a person becomes a student of their body, learning how to better move and live a functional lifestyle. I like to think of personal training as a mutual relationship where the trainer helps guide the client on their fitness journey and the client helps the trainer learn how to better aid the client in this endeavor. I strive to help the client reach their goals, and ultimately, I want the client to learn to appreciate the process of training, to make training a habit, and to become completely independent in the life-long endeavor of physical activity. I think the most enjoyable aspect of working with clients is helping them come to the conclusion that they are much stronger than they realize and to help them appreciate the life-changing benefits of properly-dosed exercise; this comes from really listening to the client, meeting them where they are, and working together to help them find a path to where they want to be. If you are interested in continuing to grow and improve, let’s chat and see if we can work together to help you achieve your goals and create the habit of a physical movement practice.

Certifications: ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, ISSA Certified Nutritionist
Certified since: 2023
Training specialties: Weight loss, strength training, and nutrition/meal planning
Training style/what I like about training: My story is a bit different; I started my OWN personal health journey in April 2022. I have been overweight most of my life. Last year I weighed my heaviest weight at 250lbs. I was depressed, miserable, and I kept eating and drinking my feelings away. I totally lost and neglected myself for so long, that one day I looked in the mirror and had NO idea who the person looking back at me was. I decided to put “ME” first and work on myself to be the best version of myself, so that I could give my best to the people I love… my Family 😊 I changed my mindset and my lifestyle. I am happy to say I have lost 135lbs. Was it easy? NO! BUT I know the struggle and I also know it’s possible to do. Now I want to help people, the people that have tried the “diets”, the “restrictive eating”, and working out for hours and hours, just to burn out and quit…and now you have another failed “diet” under your belt. Please contact me, let’s get to know each other, let’s talk about your goals and how we can work together to get you where you want to be 😊

Since then, I’ve done the work to learn what truly gets results. At the same time, overcoming unhealthy habits in my own life, laying down new ones, and gaining a wealth of knowledge along the way.
