About Oscar
ABOUT ME: I am a certified personal trainer. I've worked in the fitness industry in one way or another for over 15 years. I've always loved the continuing education aspect of the fitness industry. I believe in the long-term, profoundly positive, compounding effects of fitness in life, not only in my career inside the gym but outside of it too. I have worked as a P.E. elementary teacher, an at-risk youth counselor, a team-building sports coach, a strength & mobility trainer, and an obstacle race youth coach, among other things, throughout the years. i get to be the catalyst for people's physical & mental transformations. Also, I'm passionate about being healthy and happy. All while living a life of valuable service to others. I believe with all my heart that fitness is more than how you look, it's a lifestyle. It's an attitude & a way of being. It saves and transforms lives... Because it did mine! It will change the life of anyone else committed & willing to try. You get to!

It was one of the most challenging, and enjoyable workouts Ive done in a long time! Loved Oscar's energy, and his great attitude. Also, his way of utilizing "mindset" to motivate during the training session! I highly recommend him!
