Essers of Los Angeles…

But the rough work is coming to a close and I can finally say I’m opening a training facility!   It’s pretty legit- leased it June 1st and just been renovating the space since then.

What a Personal Trainer Should Know Before Entering the Fitness Industry (Part 1…I think)

What’s your thing?”   What I Wish I Could Say   “Stretch mats. I’m really big into them. They can be used in ways that you...
