About Patricia
Moving to Los Angeles in 1993, Patricia wanted to help the population who couldn’t make it to the gym: Seniors! She combined her training in the gym with training seniors in their homes.
Patricia has been successful in achieving her mission to change the lives of seniors by providing complete workouts in the home. She teaches flexibility, strength/resistance, cardiovascular exercises, and last, but not least, balance. Balance is the most important exercise for training seniors. Her senior clients range from ages 50 to 104, with some clients even lasting of over 27 years.
Patricia has over 35 years of experience in the fitness industry including working with seniors for fall prevention, seeing/hearing challenges, osteoporosis, and back problems.
As a senior trainer, Patricia has worked with many seniors with various other limitations and disabilities, such as Parkinson’s, emphysema, ALS, Alzheimers, joint replacements, congestive heart failure, heart valve replacements, pacemakers, arthritis, and spinal stenosis. She has also worked with Weight Loss Centers for helping patients with obesity and diabetes.
