About Patricia
Relocating to Los Angeles in 1993, Patricia soon began to realize that there were increasing numbers of people in need of specialized fitness services in Los Angeles, namely aged people who simply wished to remain active, yet they could not or were not comfortable visiting a gym. Lots of geriatric patients required safe, personal and familiar environment guidance.
Patricia used the integration of her professional experience in the field of gym training with in-home training of elderly individuals to develop a personal approach where seniors could train in the comfort of their homes. This approach eliminates the usual obstacles like transportation, congested gyms, and new machinery, and makes older adults more comfortable and regular with their fitness.
Since the start, she aims to make senior people stay active, independent, and confident with the help of safe and personalized personal trainer in training.
Mission & Training Philosophy
Patricia has already succeeded in her mission of making the life of the seniors better by offering full body fitness programs in the comfort of the house and being the best elderly fitness specialist in home. Her training plan entails flexibility, resistance and strength, cardiovascular conditioning, and most importantly, balance training.
Balance is the fundament of senior fitness because it directly influences the fall prevention and day-to-day autonomy. Balance and stability are two factors that Patricia lays special emphasis on each program. The average age of her senior clients lies between 50 and 90 and many of them have been clients of hers for over 27 years, which is both a test of trust and long-term performance.
