History
Established in 2003.
My adventure began in Marin County, CA. Now even bigger than ever Miami FL!
My parents are my fitness role models: dad's in tennis, mom's in long-distance running and skiing. My sports are volleyball, swimming, tennis and running.
Started lifting weights/running at the age of 13, kept myself fit through college. However, after graduating, I entered the sedentary workforce and my fitness level declined. Sound familiar?
Job history:
*3 yrs AIDS/HIV Social Worker
*8 yrs Tech/Video Games industry as Project Manager
*2 yrs Middle School Algebra Teacher
These "sit-down" jobs affected my health ... back and knee pains.
In 2003, I applied the principles of proper
fitness training & reached a level of fitness, beyond that of my college years. I realized my true passion "to share the wisdom I gained and help people get FIT!" Now 17+ yrs, I've been certified with National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). Eternally grateful to all my past, current and future clients and friends!
Meet the Business Owner: Dino A.
I worked for 3 years doing social service and over 8 years in the high
tech industry while attempting to maintain a certain level of fitness.
But my limited knowledge in training and numerous "sit-down" jobs
eventually affected my overall health causing me back and knee
pains, sprained joints and high cholesterol. A personal trainer friend
of mine, "Jeremy" actually told me that I was "over fat." This
awareness helped fuel my drive to uplift my situation.
In 2003, after educating myself and applying the principles of proper
fitness training, I reached a very high level of fitness, beyond that of
my college years. I realized my true passion - sharing the wisdom I
gained and helping people get fit. With a double degree in Biology
and Psychology from University of California Santa Cruz, I continued
my studies in technology, biology, psychology, management, and
education and then obtained my certifications for Personal Training.
For over 17 years, I have been a CPT with NASM.
