I am a Venezuelan-American nutrition and fitness coach fluent in both English and Spanish. <br>After struggling with obesity my entire life and undergoing weight loss surgery in 2022, I discovered the true power of strength training, not just to transform my body and shed almost 80lbs, but to rebuild my confidence, energy, and life. I believe lifting weights is one of the most powerful tools for transformation—physically and mentally. I help women step into their strongest, most empowered selves through resistance training and sustainable nutrition. When I~SQ~m not at the gym or in my kitchen (my safe place) you can find me outdoors—hiking, biking, paddleboarding, camping or snowboarding. Cooking is my love language.</td></table>"))

A native of Colorado, I have always been drawn to an active lifestyle that pushes boundaries and builds resilience. From a young age, soccer became a passion, with years spent on the field honing skills, teamwork, and endurance throughout childhood and adolescence. These early experiences laid the foundation for a deep appreciation of physical fitness and the joy of movement. <br> <br> <br>Striving to get stronger and gain muscle, my entry to the world of weightlifting is when a transformative shift occurred. What began as a simple curiosity quickly evolved into a profound passion for building strength and unlocking personal potential. The gym ignited a completely new mindset in me- one centered on disciplined progression, goal-setting, and the never-ending pursuit to build muscle and strength. This revelation turned fitness from a hobby into a calling, driving me to pursue a career where I could help others experience the same empowerment. I motivate my clients through uniquely designed sessions emphasizing progressive intensity, proper form and maximizing recovery to synergize and elevate their health and fitness. <br> <br> <br>I have 10 years of experience in the fitness world and 4 years of hands-on experience personal training with an ACE Certification. Whether you’re a beginner looking to build confidence, an athlete aiming to enhance performance, or someone seeking sustainable lifestyle changes through movement, I will make sure you make progress and enjoy the process!</td></table>"))

I grew up playing competitive soccer, traveling across the U.S. and Europe to compete at a high level. That experience shaped my love for discipline, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence—values that still guide my coaching today. <br> <br> <br> <br>After my competitive soccer career, I found myself searching for a new challenge as an adult. Running filled that void, beginning with 5Ks and quickly progressing to longer distances. In May 2025, I completed my first ultramarathon, earning 2nd female overall at the RRCA National 50k Championship. Along the way, I discovered the power of strength training and how the gym plays a critical role in becoming a well-rounded, resilient athlete. <br> <br> <br> <br>With over 10 years of training experience, I’ve worked with clients in one-on-one settings, group training, group fitness classes, and with runners preparing for races of all distances. My approach blends strength, conditioning, mobility, and endurance—because true fitness goes far beyond one discipline. <br> <br> <br> <br>I believe movement is medicine. My mission is to help every client build confidence, strength, and capability in their bodies, no matter where they’re starting from. Whether your goal is to run your first race, gain strength, return to movement, or simply feel your best, I’m here to support you in becoming the strongest, healthiest version of yourself.</td></table>"))

A former collegiate athlete and private training facility owner, Rod has dedicated his career to helping others unlock their full physical potential through smart, intentional training. <br> <br>Rod specializes in sports performance, with a strong niche in football, and has extensive experience developing velocity, power, strength, mobility, and rehabilitative training protocols across a wide range of athletic programs. His training philosophy is simple but proven: “Strength is speed, speed is strength.” Over the years, he has trained everyone from middle school athletes to professional NFL players—some of whom are still competing today. <br> <br>Beyond the field, Rod has worked with numerous NPC competitors and has stepped on stage himself, earning 1st place in True Novice, 2nd in Novice, and 2nd in Open Men’s Physique. He understands both the athletic and aesthetic sides of training because he’s lived them. <br> <br>Rod is married to his wife, Madi—a phenomenal mom and fellow gym rat you’ll likely see around the facility—and is the proud father of three “mini-me’s”: two teenagers (who aren’t exactly mini anymore) and one toddler who keeps life interesting. <br> <br>What truly fuels Rod’s passion for fitness is witnessing the impact physical progress can have on mental health. Having experienced his own rollercoaster of weight gain and loss, he deeply understands the emotional side of transformation. He is a strong advocate for fitness as a tool for confidence, resilience, and overall well-being. His mission is simple: help people feel as good as they should feel. As he lives by, “Helping one person might not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.” <br> <br>When he’s not in the gym, Rod can be found spending time with his family doing arts and crafts, drawing, painting, tackling home DIY projects—or possibly sitting at a Texas Hold ’em table (poker junky? Jury’s still out 😉). And if you notice the abundance of Dragon Ball gym attire… don’t worry. It’s intentional.</td></table>"))
