2022

I’m the oldest of three. My family and I moved to Las Vegas in 2001 from San Bernardino California. Growing up, I struggled with weight fluctuation and never feeling comfortable in my skin. I tried many diets and experimented with different fitness lifestyles that never stuck. Health and wellness finally became one of my main priorities nine years ago when I stepped into my managerial role at a local cold pressed juice bar.

My Background

Prior to being an instructor at inferno Hot Pilates and Cyclone Las Vegas, I worked in the automotive industry right out of high school for twelve years. I’ve also been in the food and beverage industry for the last nine years.

Why I Teach IHP

I was introduced to the Inferno Hot Pilates world as an intro holder in the Summer of 2021. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but after 30 days of taking classes with different instructors, I finally felt like I had found a fitness community that accepted me, made me feel seen & more importantly, challenged me beyond my limits. I knew if I could help someone tap into their potential the way instructors helped me, this was where I belonged.

My Approach

Of course Energy & good Music are important when it comes to delivering a successful class but that’s minor. My goal when teaching is to always make every member feel seen, feel appreciated, and most importantly feel empowered.

My Community

One word Mindful! When preparing a sequence, I like to ask myself is it challenging or is it impossible? Is the setup allowing them to catch their breath and regain their strength so they can actually do the workout? During class, I’m very mindful of breaks. I make it my number one rule to always read the room. In my opinion, members enjoy a workout more when they walk out feeling empowered versus defeated.

My Career

Besides my own physical changes, I’m extremely proud of the confidence I’ve gained from teaching. I’m proud of the relationships I’ve built & most importantly, I’m proud of the impact that I’ve made on so many people’s lives.
