Anna Rivers – Strength and Conditioning Trainer
Strength and Conditioning Trainer –
| I am a fitness enthusiast turned fitness professional as a NASM certified personal coach. While I was never athletic as a child or teen, once I turned 18, I discovered the gym. This is when my love of fitness began. Throughout the years my workouts took on different forms depending on my stage of life. Whether it was during the college years, marriage, motherhood, and even during my career as a social worker, my fitness and health has always been a priority. In my 40’s I decided to make it official and started my career in fitness. Now that I’m 50, it is even more important to continue on this fitness journey I am on. If you are in your mid-life years, you know what I mean. I love helping my clients of all ages with their fitness goals because I have been there. My experience has led me to not only coach 1:1 but also to a wider audience through group fitness classes. I have instructed an array of different formats throughout my career, including aqua fitness, barre, Les Mills BodyPump, HIIT, Silver Sneakers, and Core. When I am not clients or teaching classes, I stay active by hiking, snowboarding and sometimes a nice run with either my husband or one of my 3 kids. Faith, Family and Fitness is how I try to live my life to the fullest. |

Jackie Castillo – Booty Building, & Mind-Body Wellness
Hi! I’m Jackie Castillo, and I’m deeply passionate about fitness, wellness, self-improvement, and creating a supportive community. My fitness journey began in 2018 when I was in college, feeling lost and uncertain about my purpose. I believed that fitness held the key to confidence and clarity, and I set out on a path to discover this for myself.
When I first started, I was clueless. My workouts were simple, revolving around the treadmill and stairmaster. It was a time when women embracing weight training was becoming popular on social media. I’ll never forget the moment that changed everything for me: walking by a woman who looked amazing and radiated confidence. I thought to myself, “I want to look like that.”
With determination, I dove into weightlifting, even though my form was far from perfect. I kept pushing forward, continuously seeking ways to improve. Through trial and error, dedication, and a relentless drive to better myself, I transformed not just my body, but also my mindset. Fitness became more than just a physical activity; it became a source of empowerment and self-discovery.
Today, my mission revolves around empowering women to achieve their fitness goals and build their confidence. My specialties include weight training, enhancing those glutes, and toning the body to help you look and feel your absolute best. I understand the challenges and uncertainties that come with starting a fitness journey because I’ve been there. That’s why I’m dedicated to providing personalized guidance and support to each of my clients.

Ozzie Ferozuddin – Body Recomposition
Hello fellow athletes! Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned veteran, one thing holds constant for everyone — you are striving to accomplish a goal. My purpose is to tailor and tweak a comprehensive nutrition and training program that will assist you in achieving that goal.
Quick Background and Experience:
-10+ years of training/nutrition experience (informally)
-3+ years experience in fitness industry (formally)
-B.S. Biology & Doctorate level education in human anatomy, physiology, nutrition, & biochemistry
Like many, I struggled with my body fat and body image at a young age. Through educating myself and implementing the knowledge gained over the past decade, I have found success in achieving my dynamic athletic and aesthetic goals. Formally I entered the fitness industry in 2019 at boutique fitness club in Boston. There I developed a deeper understanding of the fitness world and what it means to be a personal trainer. Since then I have moved back home to Southern California where I now train clients out of SMTF-Chino Hills and remotely.
My Training Philosophy:
No matter your athletic history, objectives, or stage of life, 2 variables remain the bedrock of any successful fitness journey: lifestyle (nutrition, sleep, habits, etc.) & training. These factors must be balanced harmoniously — overcompensating in one area will only get you so far. I employ a holistic approach by creating a comprehensive plan WITH you that is designed FOR you. There is no one-size-fits all solution, thus I actively encourage my clients to provide me with real time feedback so that we can individualize a plan to your desired specifications.
Areas Of Focus:
-body recomposition (fat loss, muscle gain/toning)
-overall wellbeing
-nutrition
-athletic performance (mobility, agility, strength, endurance, explosiveness, etc.)
-lifestyle considerations
-online training / group training / 1-on-1 training
