Terrance
Originally from Ontario Canada, I have been in the gym training myself since I was in high school. With gymnastics being my sport, I found it easy to stay lean, but my coach told me that I needed to include resistance training to up my game. Working from Arnold Schwarzenegger's Modern Body Building Encyclopedia, I learned the basics. I struggled to gain size, but enjoyed the challenge. After graduation, I gave up gymnastics, to dance professionally for a production company. During this time, I really began to appreciate the power of my body, and learning what I could do with it.
When I turned 30, I realized that I didn't want to dance forever, but I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my years in the fitness profession to keep me as healthy and fulfilled as possible. For me, that meant moving to Santa Monica. I started at the Easton Gym in Santa Monica, this is where I met Jason Kozma. He was the most serious of all of the trainers, and I respected that. Thankfully I got a chance to understand the intensity of his training, and achieved incredible results. I was in the best shape that I had ever been in before, and with this new found inspiration I certified with the National Academy of Sports Medicine and began training clients. Jason taught me visualization, and that mind - body connection is the most important process that you can realize for proper muscular isolation and development. He taught us that you could actually sculpt the body to the likeness the client desired. This was a very informative year for me personally, as I achieved better results applying his philosophy to what I was teaching. Soon I began training clients at the Boulevard Health Club in Bel Air. There, I was introduced to Jeet Kune Do (Gung Fu). I immersed myself in this new art, and learned that Mind-Body connection is essential to sculpt the body, but discipline sculpts the spirit. By 2005 I had earned the privilege to teach at the level of apprentice instructor.
I am available to train clients at the Boulevard Health Club. My training style reflects the goals of the client, with the ability to draw from any of my various fitness experiences, and skill sets resulting from each. Some clients desire weight loss, some a personal challenge. I have had clients work off 30 pounds in 6 weeks, as well as clients who have achieved great results, and continue to work with me since my first day as a Bel Air personal fitness trainer.
In this day of awareness, it is essential to be responsible for your own life plan. The most important thing you can do is taking responsibility to change the things that you can for yourself. Understand and acknowledge the role food and fitness play in your general health."
Stay on the road of well-being and longevity.
The Choice is yours!

Angela (Yoga teacher)
"Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes." – Goethe
Angela's love for yoga began in 2003 after a car accident challenged her to find a way to rehab her knees. Successfully rehabbing both knees her curiosity grew, realizing the powerful healing properties of yoga. Her interest led her to enroll in the 200 Teacher Training with Yogaworks. She was drawn to this program because of their emphasis on anatomy, alignment principles, and proper sequencing. Further convinced of the vast benefits that yoga offered, she enrolled in the 300 Hr Professional program with Yogaworks. She was fortunate to have been paired with the very well respected, much loved, "teachers teacher" Annie Carpenter as her mentor. She is now a strong believer as well as student of Annie's "smart flow" yoga; a strong vinyasa flow yoga style that brings together intelligent sequencing with emphasis on safety and proper alignment. This type of yoga strengthens tones and tightens the body, focuses the mind and allows the body to open in a safe and logical way. Angela's sessions range from the meditative and restorative to powerful sweaty strong vinyasa flow sequences. Just as the body is unique and changes from day to day, Angela is constantly observing and tailoring the yoga sessions to the clients individual needs and desires. Much more than simply stretching, yoga enlivens and awakens every cell in the body creating muscles that work together harmoniously. Regular yoga practice improves posture, relieves stress, creates powerful core strength, prevents injuries due to tight muscles and integrates the body and mind creating wellness in all parts of your being. Having just completed a teacher training intensive with vinyasa flow guru Shiva Rhea, Angela constantly thrives to offer her clients fresh perspective, creativity and inspiration in their yoga practice. She invites you to join her in a fun expressive exploration into your own wonderfully unique yoga practice.
