Alondra Ramirez
My fitness journey began during 2020. Covid really had me out of shape and that led me into working out everyday. The lack of knowledge created injuries on my knees and shoulders and this is where it all began. I searched the internet to help my injuries and this opened a new world to me, personal training. I am currently certified in mobility and endurance exercise, as well as, corrective exercise. I love helping others through fitness and even simple nutrition tips. I currently work for a cardiologist and I learn a lot about cardiovascular health and low cholesterol levels. It’s amazing being able to pair my two jobs.
