We met, we talked and we discovered that we have so many things in common such as the way of thinking, culture and even the same Greek friends!

My journey into physical fitness began with a dog. I did not grow up playing sports or doing anything more active than walking the mall, but after I got married my husband and I got a dog and someone had to walk it; that someone was me. But the dog didn’t want to walk, the dog wanted to run. So I chased the dog. Then I caught up to the dog and we started running together and slowly I began to build endurance and became a distance runner. I have completed 10 marathons and many half-marathons, and shorter distance races over the years. Part of my cross-training became Pilates and I found that while I do not enjoy mat classes I love the reformer and the changes I can see and feel in my body. I’ve been practicing the Lagree method for about 6 years and absolutely love it! It never gets easy…why doesn’t it ever get easier?! I’ve only recently become certified as a trainer and I hope I can help the clients of Fit Buddha get as much joy out of their classes as I do.
Professionally I trained as a dental hygienist locally at Oxnard College and got my B.S. from Northern Arizona University. After working private practice for a few years I began teaching dental hygiene at Oxnard College and USC. After receiving a Masters degree in Public Health form UCLA I left dentistry for a while and worked as a research coordinator for the VA and UCSD. I eventually found my way back to dentistry and started a dental hygiene school in San Diego and worked as the director there until I gave birth to my son Saul. Our family then moved home to Ventura County and I have since given birth to another child, a little girl we call Samira.
WHY I BECAME A TRAINER AT FIT BUDDHA:
Though I started practicing the Lagree method while living in San Diego, it wasn’t until I came to Fit Buddha that I really fell in love! All the trainers bring their own experience and personality to the workouts and Eva and Marcus are so warm and welcoming that as a client I never felt intimidated. Fit Buddha has helped me get back in shape after the birth of both my children and I love when my body feels strong! Maybe it’s the endorphins, but over time I felt like I wanted to share my passion and enthusiasm with others as a trainer and so became certified.
3 THINGS CLIENTS CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASS:
Some knowledge of kinesiology, a warm smile and hopefully a slow burn!
MY MOTTO IN LIFE:
Flock with the Eagles!
MY FAVORITE MEGA-MOVE:
Inner-thigh squats
FAVORITE SONG TO WORK OUT TO:
I love music, so hard to choose just one! But this song is heavy in the rotation right now, Somebody Else by Jeff Bridges. I know, weird, he’s a movie star, but when it’s good it’s good!
WHY I BECAME A TRAINER AT FIT BUDDHA:
I am a Lagree and nasm certified trainer. I have been a sports and fitness enthusiast my entire life and have tried everything from barre to Pilates to cycling to traditional strength training to yoga. And while I love different components from all of them, nothing lifts my seat or tones my obliques quite like Lagree!
3 THINGS CLIENTS CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASS:
A client taking my class should expect to work their entire body from head to toe, get a deep burn and hopefully quite a few shakes, and leave the day’s stress behind as they focus mind and body on moving with intent and purpose.
MY MOTTO IN LIFE:
My motto in life is to embrace all the little moments and be present (a work in progress ?).
MY FAVORITE MEGA-MOVE:
Can’t pick just one! Heavy squats/skating and French twist to twisted pike to plank.
FAVORITE SONG TO WORK OUT TO:
Right now, Sweet Sensation by Flo Rida
