The Story

A personal transformation, ten years in the making.

DES knows what it feels like to struggle with weight, with diets and with the battle in your own head. DES was overweight for most of life and watched a mother go through many of the same struggles with fad diets. After high school, DES became a parent at 19 and went through personal challenges that contributed to significant weight gain and depression. Eventually DES had to decide to change, and over ten years lost more than 100 pounds.

That transformation changed DES physically, but more importantly mentally, and it is what drives DES to help others who face similar obstacles at Trinity Training Facility in Long Beach.

The Philosophy

It starts in the mind.

DES's philosophy is simple: it starts in the mind, because you will not consistently do what you do not believe you can do. For years DES's biggest battle was mental, and DES did not understand that until living it.

What sets the coaching apart is the energy. DES's energy is always up, and no matter what kind of day you are having when you walk into a session, the goal is for you to leave with a different mindset and a completely different experience. Explore fat loss and weight loss training at Trinity.

Competition

Two bodybuilding shows and a growing love of boxing.

DES has competed in two bodybuilding shows, placing fourth in the first and second in the second, and has competed in a technical boxing sparring match. Boxing has become something DES continues to train for, and DES says bodybuilding will always be a love.

See how bodybuilding and hypertrophy training and boxing training are organized at Trinity. Sessions take place on The Floor.

An Honest Note On Credentials

No formal certifications, ten years of hands-on work.

DES does not hold formal certifications. What DES brings is more than ten years of self-study, experience and trial and error, six years as a personal trainer and the results of DES's own transformation.

If a formal credential matters to you, ask before you book, or choose another trainer on the Trinity roster. DES is a trainer, not a medical provider or a licensed dietitian, so talk to your doctor before starting a new program, especially with an injury or a health condition.

Who DES Works With

Fitness-driven moms and committed individuals.

Today DES specializes in helping fitness-driven moms and individuals who are already committed to fitness and ready for a complete transformation. Whether you want to take your physique to the next level, build confidence or keep pushing beyond where you are now, the goal is to help you maximize what you are capable of.

Clients can expect high energy, encouragement and an environment designed to push them forward. DES offers semi-private and hybrid sessions, and specific packages may include a meal plan depending on the package selected.

Real Progress

A mindset that lasts years.

DES is especially proud of one client, a pilot who wanted to build muscle, improve her form and develop more confidence. Together they added muscle and decreased her body fat, and years later they still talk about how the sessions changed her mindset. Even four years later, she remembers the conversations. Results vary from client to client.

Outside the gym, DES loves time with family and watching the kids play sports, singing when alone, looking at houses and checking out interior design.
