I fell in love with the energy and vibe of this studio. Initially, I started as a spin instructor, but once I discovered Lagree, I was hooked. I knew I had to learn more and share the joy I feel every time I tap into this workout.
3 THINGS CLIENTS CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASS:
Get ready to break a sweat, embrace the challenge, and feel that satisfying burn in your abs and booty.
MY MOTTO IN LIFE:
– Be the energy you want to attract. – Nobody can do it for you; you have to do it yourself.
MY FAVORITE MEGA-MOVE:
Runner’s Lunge or combo moves in Mermaid.
FAVORITE SONG TO WORK OUT TO:
Choosing just one song is impossible, but some of my favorite artists include Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, Etta James, and Iya Terra.
I loved the art of lagree and how it made my body feel when I put all of me into my time on the machine. It is a beautiful free flowing and disciplined experience. When Eva asked if I wanted to train, I felt compelled to help others experience that same feeling while doing Lagree.
3 THINGS CLIENTS CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASS:
Calming energy, Focus on form and alignment, A lot of love
A former competitive athlete and active women’s health nurse practitioner, Drea believes in teaching movement and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Drea has been with Fit Buddha since the studio’s opening and describes herself as a “lifer.” Always up for a challenge, Drea believes the Megaformer keeps a body able to do what it was born to do, “play outside.”
WHY I BECAME A TRAINER AT FIT BUDDHA:
It seemed like a fun new job. I stayed because I love it.
My passion is to help each person find their own unique balance of physical and mental wellbeing. I am committed to providing an environment to empower each person to reach their health and fitness goals.
In 2019, I stumbled into my first Lagree Fitness class in LA. That day changed my life! After I injured my back in a car accident in 2007, I never thought I would find a workout I could do again without pain. The slow controlled movements with a focus on form and strength training allowed me to strengthen my core and over time significantly reduce my daily pain! I knew after my first class that I wanted to share this foundation with others. In January 2020, I taught my first Lagree class and feel incredibly blessed by the connections I continue to find with each client.
3 THINGS CLIENTS CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASS:
I love empowering each client to find their own mind-body connection to push themselves one step further than they thought they could go. Each class will be tailored to different fitness levels and modified for individual needs. I provide personalized feedback to clients during the class, offering tips for improvement and celebrating individual milestones.
MY MOTTO IN LIFE:
Encourage everyone to embrace life’s challenges! I strive to be a source of positivity and inspiration, and let others know that I believe in their ability to overcome obstacles and thrive.
I thought this was the perfect opportunity to build more connections in Santa Barbara and just enjoy the new experience.
3 THINGS CLIENTS CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASS:
Sweat, challenges, and accolades
MY MOTTO IN LIFE:
Go out into the world and be AWESOME!

Core: Planks and more planks Legs: Fifth Lunge and Floor Lunge Skate Arms: Serve the platter and bicep curls Obliques: Kneeling Torso Twist and scrambled eggs
FAVORITE SONG TO WORK OUT TO:
I’ve got eclectic taste in music so there is a broad range. Lately, I’ve been working out to a lot of Thievery Corporation. Madonna is also an excellent choice.
I’ve always enjoyed situations where I get to teach people new skills or help them expand on existing skills. After taking classes at Fit Buddha for four years, I felt like I had a pretty good understanding of Lagree. I love the genuine positivity of the community at Fit Buddha, and it’s really special to be able to experience it as both a client and a trainer!
3 THINGS CLIENTS CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASS:
You can expect a good variety of moves and thorough explanations.
Since first setting foot in the studio in 2013, Fit Buddha changed my life – in mind, body, and spirit. Each class leaves me feeling stronger, happier, and more confident thanks to the incredible trainers and community. I’m ecstatic to share that passion with others as a Fit Buddha trainer.
3 THINGS CLIENTS CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASS:
High energy, a supportive environment, and a lil dancing.
MY MOTTO IN LIFE:
You can’t take care of everything else if you don’t take care of yourself first – prioritize your mental and physical health.
I was ready to take my health and wellness to the next level while being of service to others and deepening my relationship with myself. I love a good challenge especially when it comes to personal growth.
3 THINGS CLIENTS CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASS:
High vibes, fun, and appreciating our strengths while challenging our weaknesses.
MY MOTTO IN LIFE:
I choose to see the Divine in everything. Let go and let God.
MY FAVORITE MEGA-MOVE:
2 favs! Spider and Reversed Oblique Crunch with Thread the Needle.
The reason I wanted to become a Fit Buddha instructor was because of my love for both fitness and community. I enjoy keeping my body strong and fit and would love to help others achieve the same goodness for their bodies. It’s a good feeling to make a difference in another person’s life.
3 THINGS CLIENTS CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASS:
Three things that a client can expect from my class are energy and fun, good tunes, and a workout that makes you feel good all over. (Even if it is a little painful).
