Experience
and Background
I am originally a native of Puerto Rico
“La Isla del Encanto”, and I have spent most of my life in the
flavorful environment of Miami. I have been passionate about fitness,
health and athletics since I was a kid. At the age of 10 I began playing
competitive soccer. Later I
got into other team sports such as basketball, softball and badminton.
My introduction into the world of
training and fitness occurred in 2001, when I competed in a South Florida
figure competition, in which I earned 2nd place. This
experience inspired me to become more than an athlete; it inspired me to
become a great teacher of health and fitness.
I began teaching in a South Miami
Fitness Studio where I experienced working one-on –one as well as
teaching “hardcore” boot camp classes. I gained initial notoriety in
the profession as the official Fitness Specialist for Univision’s
morning news fitness segment, Al Amanecer (“When Awakening”).
I continued to work for gyms in South Miami area until I found a
professional home at the prestigious Sports Club L.A. at the newly opened
Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Miami.
In my journey, I was found by a scout
in Miami looking to hire the perfect person to train a Royal Prince for
several weeks. I got the
position and trained the Prince in Sardinia, Italy.
Additionally, I was selected from among 8,000 international
applicants to serve as a Performance Coach at IHP (Institute of Human
Performance) in the first-ever “Personal Training Apprentice Hunt”
conducted by fitness industry leaders Juan Carlos Santana and Phil Kaplan.
Working at the Institute of Human
Performance was a great experience and one that helped me evolve into an
even more knowledgeable trainer. I
now have my own company, CoachYari LLC.
I have continued to work as a Personal Trainer as well as a group
exercise instructor. I proudly host one of the most result driven group
programs, Get Fit in Six (www.getfitin6.com), in Boca Raton and Delray
Beach, Florida.
Who The Heck Is
Running
Get Fit in
6,
And Why Should I Listen to
Them?
Here are just a few reasons you'd
never
expect to hear:
- Contrary to
popular belief, I'm not a super-human-fitness-lunatic that eats, sleeps,
and breathes dumbbells, lettuce, and vitamins
- I don't always abide by the rules -
rules are made to be broken, and you'll be shown how you can “break
'em” without getting fat
- I LOVE food (I have my weaknesses too!) and
I'm still in great shape (see menu or my intro)
-
Though I'm fun to work with, I don't take
sissy excuses - so buckle your chinstrap, get ready to have fun, meet
new friends, and watch fat melt right before your eyes
