Bio
Susan Reyna-Guerrero, LCSW
Gina has led my Boot Camp sessions since September. She is a great motivator and fitness instructor...for all levels. She has designed creative routines that balance challenge and success, helps with form to maximize benefits, and has a great knack for engaging each member...despite how large the group is. Being a part of her boot camp has shown measurable improvements in my fitness level. I've worked with alot of trainers and she is definately one of the best in knowledge, skill, and motivation.

I can't recommend Gina highly enough. I have been a member of Gina's boot camp classes for the past 5 months. Her passion and enthusiasm for fitness comes through in each and every class that she has led. She understands people's physical limitations but also pushes them to work hard to get the results they want. If you would like an honest, pleasant, and overall great fitness instructor, look no further!!

Gina's workouts always seem well planned out, which I really appreciate for a variety of reasons. She waste no time in her class and I get the most for my money. Her well-planned workouts are always challenging. Her awesome music and high energy keep me motivated through out the class. Her enthusiastic and amicable personality makes it easy to go to her with any fitness questions. I follow her on tumblr to keep motivated outside of her classes.
