About Rafael
I grew up in Oakland, where life wasn’t always easy, but my local gym became my second home. It was more than just a place with weights and machines—it was a refuge, a community, and a place where I found strength both inside and out. When life got tough, the gym was my outlet. It taught me discipline, resilience, and the value of hard work.
Those lessons shaped who I am today. Earning my NASM certification was my way of honoring that journey and paying it forward. Now, as a trainer at Equinox, I bring that same passion and love to every client I work with. My mission is simple: to help others find their strength, not just physically but mentally, the way the gym helped me. Fitness is more than a profession to me—it’s a purpose, a way to give back to the community that raised me, one rep at a time.
From beginners with no direction only enthusiasm to season lifters who want to hit new Personal best I have trained all . I am one to practice what I preach so if you want to hear some of my personal best I’d be more than excited to share them ! If you want a relatable coach who knows how it feels to be new and or around the block give me message !
