Fitness and Health Philosophy
I followed my passion for helping and bettering people with exercise one step at a time. Two major focuses of mine are functional aging in older adults, helping them improve on daily activities / quality of life, as well as athletic youth training. I strive to keep training interesting, educational, and fun for my clients, in line with their goals and needs, whilst working to instill confidence and competence for their own personal fitness and growth. I have clients ranging from 10-93 and have been training since 2018.
Personal Notables
I was born in Guatemala and adopted at 3 months to a family in San Rafael. My Dad is Jewish and my Mom is Maltese Catholic. I have been in sports athletics since as far back as I can remember, and have been a gym goer since I was 14. I’ve always been into weight training and took my interest up North to Humboldt State, where I majored in Kinesiology and Exercise Science. From there I took an internship at BodyKinetics, a local gym in San Rafael where I shadowed the trainers there. Trained down south for a few years, and then eventually through the Pandemic, I ended up moving back to the Bay Area. I look forward to training at Bodied by Quis !
