Our Coaches

Al
My fitness journey began with a passion for sports like baseball, football, and basketball. At 18, I joined the Marine Corps, where I also trained in boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu. For 10 of my 14 years in service, I served as my unit’s Body Composition Platoon Coordinator, ensuring Marines met physical fitness and nutrition standards.
After leaving the service in 2016, I pursued a career in fitness, teaching Exercise and Nutrition Science and Anatomy & Physiology at the National Personal Training Institute from 2018 to 2022.
Now at CTZN, I’m excited to create tailored training programs that blend functional fitness with strength training.
Outside of fitness, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three children, cheering for the LA Chargers, LA Clippers, San Diego Padres, and Alabama Crimson Tide, and spending time outdoors with loved ones.

I began my fitness journey 12 years ago after having my second daughter, determined to lose 50 pounds and be a better role model. Starting with walks and progressing to running, weight training, and improved nutrition, I successfully shed the weight and developed a passion for fitness. Along the way, I explored various disciplines, including boxing, TRX, CrossFit, and yoga.
Now a Certified Personal Trainer with ISSA and Precision Nutrition, I’m excited to design programs at CTZN Fitness that enhance fitness, stamina, and well-being. I aim to create a positive, encouraging environment for all.
Growing up in Big Bear, California, I love the outdoors—whether it’s hiking, wakeboarding, or paddleboarding. Traveling recharges me and Italy holds a special place in my heart. My daughters are my motivation, and I strive to be a positive influence daily, living by the motto: choose progress over perfection.

April
I grew up in Brooklyn, NY, where my passion for fitness and nutrition began in my teenage years. After college, I combined my love for wellness and education by becoming a certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Neurotype Coach, creating personalized fitness and nutrition plans.
With experience coaching in gyms and online, I’m dedicated to helping others achieve sustainable health. Married for 23 years and a proud mother of three, I enjoy family time, exploring new food spots, and competing in fitness events. I’m excited to be part of the CTZN Fitness community and help you reach your goals!
