Coach Donita

(SHE/HER)

Fullerton, California

As a person, I am pretty laidback. I am a mom of three (ages 23, 18, and 12) and a Pre Med student. I am a person that has been through a TON of setbacks in life. Although I have been involved in sports and fitness my whole life, I have also suffered two severe car accidents: one where I broke my jaw (1997) and the other when I broke my neck (2019). These events, along with other adversities in life, have made me a coach that has learned to help others find a way to take care of themselves no matter what is going on. I am firm, but kind, as I help people learn to prioritize themselves and find what they can control to be successful. My specialties are powerlifting/ oly lifting, and adaptive training.

Coach Matt

(HE/HIM)

Hey folks! Coach Matt here. Firstly, thanks for reading my bio! Secondly, I don’t really enjoy writing about myself but here goes - I am loud, energetic, spunky, and regularly trip over my feet. I bring all these elements during my workout classes, but the most important component I bring is FUN! We all need more fun in our life, especially when we exercise. Because if we aren’t having fun, then why bother? So when you attend my class, you can expect some great dance music, sweat, and terrible jokes from moi. Can’t wait to workout with you soon!
