In commemoration of G-FIT’s 2nd anniversary, I had my first professional photoshoot done. It’s been 2 years of so much growth. I am so lucky for my vocation to have become my profession. Lots of hard work, ups and downs, but so much more to come.

Women have been both neglected and prayed upon to change and reduce their bodies, but seldom from a place of love and self-empowerment. We got fitness and wellness sold to us as a status symbol, as a trend, and not as the biological need that it is. It’s also so lonely, so competitive…women tearing other women apart.

With G-FIT I’ve meant to break away from all that.

I believe in strength and health, but also in enjoyment, fun, and community. Science with empathy, and knowledge as the antidote to fear.

So grateful for all my athletes, and I welcome anyone who wants to join the G-FIT squad with open arms.

Very few spots available. DM if interested in virtual, small group or 1:1 coaching

To travel and not try all the food is to not live. I controlled what I could (which wasn’t much) I tried to do hearty breakfasts that were light but nourishing. I also had to be careful not to overdo it TOO much because toilet runs are never fun having to travel constantly. I’d be strategic with things I really wanted to eat vs things that didn’t really take my breath away.

I still gained roughly 7 lbs, and that is with all the walking one does in Europe and 3 total days of structured exercise. Which proves two points: 1) exercise doesn’t do much against a high calorie diet 2) food in Europe isn’t healthier or worse than food anywhere else, I still gained weight and puffed up.

That being said, and as a Mexican I don’t say this lightly, but Europeans sure know how to eat and drink 🤌🏼

1) grilled octopus and potatoes
2) airport chicken salad
3) queso manchego
4) garlic shrimp
5) paella
6) black rice
7) delicious cocktails
8) more delicious cocktails
9) bouillabaisse
10) artichokes
11) fish soup
12) the best Ligurian focaccia in the world
13) Vermentino wine
14) The best Aperol spritz ever in Portofino
15) More octopus and potatoes
16) Eggplant lasagna
17) Focaccia with pesto
18) Free Limoncello

Updating the board with a new PR is a really fun rite of passage with my athletes. These women are so strong beyond the weights, though. There are never any excuses. They don’t miss a day unless there’s work or illness. Not sure if they just love their coach THAT much lol, but they sure do love the feeling of being badass 💪🏼 and the sisterhood of which I feel so proud that we have built 👯👯

Being a G-FIT athlete is more than working out. It’s a whole vibe 💁🏽‍♀️

What a weekend 😮‍💨💃🏽 took my G-FIT ladies on a night out dressed up as different versions of the one and only and QUÉ RUMBA. Se bailó, se cantó, se gozó, but most importantly, we transcended borders, cultures, and walks of life. We bonded on a different level through music and joy. And yesterday for the we all shared food and drink, yes, but also cultural immersion, undiluted, in full loudness and brownness, proud and joyful. It’s hard not to get emotional, but in the 10 years I’ve lived in the United States I had never experienced anything like this. All the therapy couldn’t heal the years of feeling like I didn’t belong, and this weekend I was healed. Thank you Benito, and thanks to this beautiful group of humans that I get to work with and call my people.

I am SO proud of all of my athletes and how far they’ve come this year.

It’s amazing to witness how small changes and progression over a year can have such transformative effects.

Health cannot be bought in weeks. It takes months and years of getting really good at doing the simple things, and sticking with it.

But to stick with a fitness and nutrition change, it has to bring you something more positive than scale and body composition numbers.

It has to bring you joy, confidence, community. You need to be understood as an individual, and given the right support so you can do the hard work of showing up.

That’s why my clients leave these comments. Because they feel themselves stronger, more full of life, month to month, and they have fun doing it.

Every exercise is tailored to their unique strengths and challenges, teaching their brains and bodies to move athletically and get over physical limitations. We build stronger bodies but also more mobile, flexible, and resilient.

Every meal plan is suited to their preferences, culture, time, and flexibility. We learn to eat in a way that is wholesome and guilt-free, and to make better choices not because of the scale but because of how we want to perform.

Don’t wait for the right time. Join the G-FIT family.

Limited 1:1 virtual or in person spots currently available.

I’m also opening new hours for in-person small group training. Stay tuned.

I got interviewed at the No Kings Protest in Charlotte this past October by , but it didn’t air. I guess it wasn’t that relevant back then since Border Patrol had not yet invaded the city. So I’m going to say the same thing I said to them, so that it doesn’t stay in the shadows. They asked me, “Why are you here protesting, and why did you bring your son?” My answer, from what I remember, was something like this:

“Because I am Mexican - born and raised, and became a US citizen last year. However, people who look like me and speak my language and share my culture are being taken away, without any due process, for that reason. I came here legally, followed the process, paid the fees, but I did so because I was privileged enough to do it. Some of these people don’t have the same privilege as me, for many different reasons. Most of them are just here looking for a better life.

So I am here with my son because he is half-Mexican, and I have done everything I can to show him to be proud of his heritage, of his language, and I am not going to let anyone try to take that away.”

I’ve had to deal with a lot of bu****it since I came here. I’ve had my country called the “third world” by people who supposedly welcomed me. I heard worries over me only speaking Spanish to my son. Weird looks, disguised xenophobia. And I have always been very aware that these micro aggressions were just that, micro, small, stupid. But I never really felt afraid to address my son in public with my native language. There was still freedom in America.

Fast forward to today, and now we might actually have to be careful. Stay out of the city, carry around a passport. And I just want to know how many trespasses to our freedoms have to happen before people do anything? I read happy comments all over social media: “Get them boys!” Get who? Your hardworking landscaper? The people who make that tasty guac and margaritas you love? That mother and her children at church, praying to the SAME God you revere? WHO?

I continue to be unafraid to speak my language and be my brown-ass Mexican self. If anything, now I’m going to be LOUDER.

Jillian Michaels, the infamous trainer from “The Biggest Loser,” has come out on multiple outlets to bash the use of weight loss medications. At first glance, her criticism seems reasonable. She questions the risk-benefit ratio between side effects and results, she cautions of weight regain, unknown long-term effects, and she rightly emphasizes the importance of lifestyle change over a “quick fix.”
