Changing your body takes TIME ⬇️

It gets tempting sometimes to create 6 or 8-week challenges to get people interested in working with me as a coach, because people like a head start, novelty, and will take on a new regimen with lots of motivation.

But the slow, boring, and painful reality is that pushing your body to change takes so much longer than a few weeks.

Many times, a client prospect will come in with very high goals and expectations, such as losing a lot of weight and getting “toned” for summer, or making leaps of progress in building strength and muscle. But oftentimes, there’s a lot of basic, prophylactic work we have to do: address muscular imbalances, learn proper motor control, correct years of improper posture…etc.

And that’s on the exercise side alone. On top of it, we have to make the nutritional adjustments that allow for all of these mighty goals to happen. And it is freaking hard.

I warn every single one of my clients that we have to come in with a long-term mindset. Think of yourself a year from now. You’ll be mind blown what you can achieve if you give yourself, and me as your coach, the opportunity to chase that potential, with the bad and off days that we all face.

Progress is never linear. What matters is that you keep putting yourself back in the arena. My job is to give you all the tools you need, but the work and the merit is still all yours.

If you’re looking for someone who will push you to find your true potential, with empathy and humanity foremost, send me a DM and let’s make it happen. Limited 1:1 coaching spots available.

Tacos are a superfood. Change my mind.

But for real, tacos are built with complex carbs, a rich source of protein like grilled meats, monounsaturated fats like olive oil and avocado, and a bomb of vitamin C and other micronutrients found in salsas and other toppings.

Just for you, here’s a recipe to a killer salsa taquera:

3 Roma tomatoes
2 Chiles jalapeños
5 garlic cloves (skin on)
1/4 white onion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lime

Roast tomatoes, chiles, garlic cloves, and onion in airfryer for 18 minutes at 400. Peel the garlic cloves and throw everything in blender. Add the salt, lime juice, olive oil and black pepper. Pulse a few times until incorporated but a little chunky.

Serve over your favorite tacos and enjoy!

1) It’s probably not your hormones causing weight gain. Hormonal imbalances can affect sleep, appetite, and muscle loss, but they don’t directly make you gain fat. Common reasons for weight gain include a high-calorie environment, exercising less, and drinking more alcohol. Bad sleep and menopause can make things worse, but with the right guidance, you can lose fat, gain muscle, and feel better.

2) It’s likely not cortisol causing issues. Another boogieman. High cortisol happens only with a lot of stress or rare health problems. Everyday stress from parenting and work doesn’t keep your body inflamed. Real stress to cause a cortisol issue comes from serious issues like poverty, discrimination, or trauma.

3) We often underestimate how much we eat. Calorie tracking isn’t unhealthy; it’s like keeping an eye on your budget. Tracking what you eat can greatly help with losing fat and gaining muscle, so it’s a good place to start.

4) Just doing Pilates and yoga isn’t enough for staying strong as you age. You need to lift heavy weights and challenge your muscles regularly. While Pilates and yoga are great for flexibility and endurance, don’t forget to include weight training.

As a coach my top priority is to educate my athletes so they can make empowered decisions. If you’d like to learn more and skip the fear-based wellness, send me a message. Very few 1:1 coaching spots available. Link in bio 🔗

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 💁🏽‍♀️

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.
