About Olivia

I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with a BS in Kinesiology and a minor in Exercise Science from Cal Poly SLO. My passion for fitness emerged through my love of running at the age of fifteen, and developed by pursuing other interests in backpacking, snowboarding and of course, lifting weights!

I works with women of all ages in all walks of life, whether you are are about to get married and want to look amazing for your wedding; you just had a baby, and are looking to rebuild your core and carve out time for yourself; or you are going through menopause and need someone to help you build muscle to manage the changes happening in your body. Regardless of what your goals are, my clients can be assured they will have a realistic and effective plan of action based upon their own unique body created for them.

I always aim to inspire my clients to push their limits inside of the studio, but to also educate them in the ever-changing science-backed research, so that they are empowered to take the tools they learn outside of the studio and better their lifelong journey. My approach towards fitness is geared towards not only the physical aspects of exercise, but the mental and spiritual ones as well.

I have worked with Olivia over the last 3 years in preparation for my first birth, postpartum, and now in preparation for my second birth. Her expertise in prenatal fitness is truly exceptional, tailoring workouts that are safe, effective, and enjoyable. Her positive energy and enthusiasm are contagious. Even on days when I felt tired or discouraged, she motivated me to push through and stay committed to my fitness routine. Her uplifting attitude created a supportive environment where I felt empowered to embrace the changes in my body and stay active throughout my pregnancy journey. I have no doubt my time with Olivia ensured my speedy physical recovery after my first birth and set me up for success to take care of myself postpartum too. Her personalized approach made me feel seen and heard every step of the way. She tailored each workout to accommodate my changing needs and limitations, ensuring that I felt comfortable and confident during every session. What sets her apart is her unwavering dedication to her clients' well-being. She took the time to listen to my concerns, understand my goals, and adjust our sessions accordingly. Beyond the physical aspect, she also provided me with invaluable advice on nutrition (eating enough protein, which I still need more of) and overall well-being. Her holistic approach to fitness empowered me to prioritize self-care and embrace a healthy lifestyle during this transformative time. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone, especially expectant mothers seeking expert guidance and support on their fitness journey during pregnancy.

I’ve trained with Olivia since I was 7 weeks pregnant and am due any day now. Olivia has been integral in my prenatal activity focusing on core, pelvic floor, and mind muscle connection. I saw a pelvic floor PT around 7 months pregnant to do some external exams, and she told me my trainer knows what she’s doing! Olivia has kept me accountable on days I don’t feel like working out, and I cannot recommend her enough!

I have loved working with Olivia! As someone who is new to weight training, she made it so approachable and non-intimidating. I was a few months post-partum when we started working together, and she made sure I was working my core properly to not cause any injury. I loved how tangible our workouts were too - I strength trained so I could pick up my kiddo or his car seat or stroller, and not hurt myself and I definitely met that goal! I feel empowered and strong after my sessions with Olivia. I wish I had met Olivia when I was pregnant to train before the baby came too! She is so knowledgeable, kind, and has a great knowledge of fitness and technique. I can’t recommend her enough.

I started training with Olivia 8 months prior to my wedding to lose some body fat and gain strength. I was able to lose 11lbs of fat and feel the strongest I have ever felt. She was so accommodating with my restrictions coming off two major hip surgeries. Her positive energy and motivation was one of the highlights of my week. She also helped me reframe my thoughts around building muscle and nutrition. I am so sad that I am moving states or else I would continue to train with her post wedding. Highly recommend hiring Olivia for all your bridal fitness goals!

I trained with Olivia in prep for my wedding. I wanted to be able to trim up and really tone my arms. With lifting heavy and encouraged runs, I was able to reach my desired results! I love that we did 2 days a week and each day and each week was different. I progressively increased weight. She was very knowledgeable about muscle groups, recovery, nutrition and overall health and exercise to better my knowledge of how I want to live and continue workouts post wedding! I’d recommend training with Olivia for any event, lifestyle change, or just to look and feel good! She’s a great coach!

Olivia is a great personal trainer and human being! I chose to hire Olivia to help me train leading up to my wedding. Going into it, she knew that I just wanted to stay fit and needed someone to hold me accountable. She was great at guiding me through workouts and would step in to correct anything I may have been doing incorrectly. She knew when to push me even when I didn't think I needed it or could put in more effort. I appreciated having someone knowledgeable and fun to keep me on track and would recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a partner in their fitness journey.

I worked out with Olivia preparing for my wedding. I lifted 2-3 times a week plus was guided through a running program. Olivia developed targeted, challenging 1:1 workouts for me - I often felt like a “jellyfish” after our workouts. Outside of our workouts, Olivia was easy to schedule with, communicate with, and I appreciated (and needed) her keeping me accountable. Working with Olivia is a commitment and if you commit, then you will see results. I went in thinking I only wanted to look good in my wedding dress and I looked GREAT in my wedding dress but I also have never felt stronger, healthier and prouder of myself!

Olivia is such a knowledgeable and encouraging trainer. I have primarily experienced her group class training, and I always feel well informed and encouraged during the entire workout, which has helped my confidence in the gym. Overall, Olivia has thoroughly and thoughtfully planned workouts that are tough but effective, and even though they were group classes, Olivia was able to be attentive and helpful to everyone individually too. I would absolutely recommend training with Olivia, she is fantastic.

Olivia was so helpful in helping me get my body back in shape postpartum. She helped me with weight training and build back some muscle. She also was so mindful and empathetic of what my body was going through post baby and knew how to tailor the workouts for my body. I was so happy with the goals I achieved through her due to her fitness and nutrition plan for me. Highly recommend Olivia!

Olivia was the first personal trainer I worked with and I couldn't be more grateful for her! I pursued personal training before my wedding and Olivia came alongside me and pushed me to be the best version of myself. We hit the ground running during our first session by talking through what was most important to me and setting attainable goals. I love that no two days were alike while training with Olivia - she mixes up each of her workout plans so that you get the most out of your workout. She has incredibly high attention to detail and taught me such valuable skills about general health, proper form, and respecting my limits. She's such a genuine human who deeply cares about each of her clients and their successes. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs a little help reaching their fitness goals. Weight training can be daunting, if you're not sure where to start, you've found your girl!

I hired Olivia to help me get fit for my wedding. I loved working with Olivia and looked forward to seeing her each week. I had never done any weight lifting before and she was patient with me as I learned the various forms. I was also dealing with some health issues at the time and Olivia met me where I was. I definitely grew stronger throughout the year we worked together and I liked how she mixed in cardio and weight lifting. I would highly recommend Olivia if you want to help prep for an event or just general well being!

Olivia was one of my coaches for a group fitness class. Not only did she watch and correct mine and other classmates’ forms to make sure we were doing everything correctly to prevent injury, she also challenged everyone out of their comfort zone. Even in the group setting classes, I felt that Olivia coached me as if it were a one-on-one lesson, which is definitely a difficult task for a 24-person class! I really enjoyed her classes and found myself going out of my way to attend her classes when she was coaching. Most importantly, Olivia makes a killer music playlist when she coaches!

I was looking to improve my overall fitness and learn more about strength training along with nutrition to support my long-term fitness goals. I am so happy I found Olivia. She pushed me during our workouts, gave me tangible feedback I could work on, and also helped me better understand how I should be approaching nutrition to truly achieve my goals. Olivia is not only an amazing personal trainer, but an amazing person. She takes a true interest in you as a person which is so rare to find. Working with Olivia I have gained muscle, confidence in the gym, and generally a more healthy approach to nutrition and fitness. I would recommend her to anyone looking to reach their fitness goals or simply to work out with someone who makes it fun and challenging.

Ashwini B.

I worked with Olivia for one-on-one personal training for over a year beginning in 2022. I started when I was about 3 months postpartum after having identical twins. Olivia helped me regain strength and heal my core, but she also helped me build confidence in my fitness abilities. She was very knowledgeable in post-partum issues such has diastasis recti and pelvic floor restrengthening. I would highly recommend her!

Hannah V.

I trained with Olivia 1x1 for almost a full year! As a former college athlete, I was looking to return to more structured workouts / lifts. Olivia was a great balance of encouraging and tough - always pushing me to my best effort. I also loved that she explained how each exercise would benefit me, giving me a toolkit to workout on my own, too. Would 1000% recommend her for any 1x1 training.

I was fortunate to have met Olivia as my personal trainer. I'm in my 40s and have worked with several personal trainers before. Some were more helpful than others, but it didn't matter much when I was younger. However, as I entered middle age, I realized the significance of finding the right trainer who truly understands and cares about women's aging bodies, health, and specific needs. Going through a challenging period in my life, I decided to pursue personal training again. Dealing with numerous health issues, physical weakness, and even depression stemming from a midlife crisis, the past four months with Olivia have been a transformative journey, both physically and mentally. Olivia is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and empathetic, tailoring her training sessions to my individual needs. Presently, I feel much healthier, stronger, and happier. I eagerly anticipate continuing my training journey with Olivia into my 50s, 60s, and beyond!

Scarlett C.

I bought a 10-pack of private training sessions with Olivia and it has been an absolute blast! She’s a great trainer, super enthusiastic and really knows her stuff when it comes to technical training. I would strongly recommend her if you are looking to change your relationship with workouts to a more positive one!!

Katherine S.
