About Alondra: 

I strive to be a walking advertisement of how a sensible diet and a combination of aerobic exercise and a smart and efficient weight training program can work for anyone. My personal goal is to help others achieve a higher level of fitness with my exercise and nutrition guidance. I find it very gratifying to help others reach their goals of weight loss and muscle gain and to see them obtain an overall better quality of life. (And of course looking good while you're at it!)   I was always on one competitive sports team or another growing up. I played high school volleyball, softball, basketball and ran track as well as danced for four years. At the collegiate level, I continued to play volleyball and softball. After college, I took advantage of the fitness facility at my job and rediscovered my interest in fitness with free aerobics classes led by a good friend. She quickly convinced me to study to become a group exercise instructor and get certified. Shortly thereafter, I met my fitness coach and trainer, Kenneth Williams and was introduced to the world of personal training. My first workout with him proved that I had never really been challenged to my full potential and I was hooked. I had found my inner athlete!   I relate to the busy working mom as a wife, a mother of two teenagers, a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor, coach to the Inner Athlete Divas & Gents competition team, professional figure competitor and owner of The Inner Athlete Personal Training and Fitness Studio. I also have taken an interest in 10K trail runs, Spartan Races, indoor rock climbing and just about anything that keeps the body moving. Anyone who commits to getting fit can do it. I look forward to working with new clients and helping them realize your fitness goals.   Certifications: ACE Certified Personal Trainer: since 2002  AFAA Certified Personal Trainer: 2001  AFAA Group Exercise Instructor: 2000  High School Physical Education Instructor - 2006/07  Current AHA/Red Cross CPR Certification Bulgarian Bag Level II – 2013 Kettlebells Sport Master Trainer – 2013 TRX Functional / Foundations – 2018/2019  Specialties Competition Prep – Bikini, Figure, Physique Weight loss Transformations Muscle Gain / Body Building Sport Specific Training Plyometric Pre and Post-Natal Fitness
