Patrick de le Garza
OLYMPIC WEIGHT LIFTING, CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH & PERSONAL TRAINER
For me, coaching others to achieve their fitness and well-being is a personal and professional passion. My enjoyment of movement began at a young age and has continued into my adult life.
I’ve played many different sports and activities; some include mixed martial arts,Olympic weightlifting, baseball, soccer, football and surfing. As I got older, I realized that my love of sports was really just my enjoyment of movement itself. I began to practice natural human movements in the gym and outside in nature. This gave me the freedom to move however I wanted without the limitations of sport.
Improving one’s fitness and well-being through movement is a lifelong pursuit that should be dynamic, effective, and fun. It is a pleasure to work with my clients to help them achieve their health and fitness goals.
I am proud to be a Certified Personal Trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
I am also certified as an Exercise Coach and Holistic Lifestyle Coach through the C.H.E.K. Institute.
In my free time, I like to be outside in nature, hiking with my dog and close friends. Wether it’s the mountains, the ocean or the desert, I enjoy exploring all of San Diego county.
BETSY BENEDICT
ALTERNATIVE HEALTH COACH, ACE PERSONAL TRAINER, CERTIFIED GROUP TRAINER
I have been a health and fitness fanatic for as long as I can remember. I started doing Aerobic classes and step classes back in the 70’s and have never stopped MOVING. Through college and into my twenties, I was a fitness instructor teaching aerobics and strength classes. When I got married and moved to Long Beach, I stopped teaching but never stopped working out and using my body! In 2013 I was diagnosed with MS. With the help of my knowledge of alternative/functional medicine, nutrition and fitness and with determination and commitment to HEALTH, I was able to cure myself 100%. I feel incredible and grateful to have a body that works in every way. I finally decided to put my passion and knowledge to work, studying Life Coaching, becoming an Ace Personal Trainer and a Certified Group Trainer. I believe that it is NEVER TOO LATE TO move! I am committed to inspiring everyone to MOVE daily and nourish one’s body. It gives me so much joy to help others with their journey to optimal health. In my free time I also enjoy playing Pickleball and tennis and yoga.
