Meet Personal Trainer Pedro! 👋

🎓 Education & Certifications: National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer (CPT); American Heart Association CPR/AED Certified

💪 Specialties / Styles of Training: Weight loss, body composition, muscle building, mobility, and flexibility, with programs designed to help clients reach their personal goals and move better in both exercise and daily life

🪱 Fun Fact: "I can do the worm!"

💬 Why did you go into Personal Training: "At 18, just after graduating high school, I realized I wasn’t taking care of my health or giving my body the attention it deserved. I decided to make a change by becoming more active, creating a consistent fitness routine, and building sustainable nutrition habits. In just over a year, I lost more than 100 pounds and completely transformed my lifestyle.

That journey inspired me to become a personal trainer. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to get started, and my goal is to help others achieve lasting results by providing the guidance, education, and support I wish I had when I began. I’m passionate about helping people build healthier habits, gain confidence, and create a lifestyle they can maintain for years to come."

This month, we’re proud to spotlight Swim Instructor Laura, one of our dedicated and experienced instructors. For years, Laura has inspired swimmers with her patience, encouragement, and passion for teaching. She loves helping students build confidence, learn new skills, and reach goals they once thought were impossible. 🙌

🎓 Education and Certifications: B.A. in Accounting, Water Safety Instructor (WSI), Certified Lifeguard, Aquatic Exercise Association (AEA) Certified

💪 Specialties: Laura enjoys teaching swimmers of all ages and abilities, from beginners to advanced students. She has a special passion for working with children, individuals with special needs, and those who may feel anxious or apprehensive around the water. Her calm, supportive approach helps every swimmer feel safe, confident, and successful.

🚣‍♂️ Fun Fact: When she's not at the pool, Laura loves spending time outdoors. You'll often find her paddleboarding, kayaking, or hiking and enjoying nature.

💬 How It All Began: Laura's journey into aquatics began unexpectedly. She started taking formal swim lessons in her 20s after enrolling in a parent-and-child swim class with her one-year-old. Inspired by the experience and discovering a passion for swimming, she decided to pursue certifications as a Water Safety Instructor, Lifeguard, and Aquatic Exercise Instructor. What started as a personal learning experience soon became a lifelong passion and a rewarding career dedicated to helping others learn this essential life skill.

Thank you, Laura, for your years of dedication, compassion, and excellence. We are incredibly grateful to have you on our team, and we're proud to celebrate you as our Instructor of the Month!
