(As of 2022, she has since found another career opportunity in the field of vet-medicine)
Leina is graduate of Virginia Tech with a BS in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise and is an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor. She has previous experience training at the Virginia Tech gym and now looks to FFG for mentorship and to find her “home” gym.
Before college, Leina never stepped foot in a gym and had previously stayed active through earning her 2nd dan in taekwondo, from dance arts and climbing. Away from those sports, she was once faced with the realization that the “freshman fifteen” was--in fact--real. These previous discoveries lead her to see how fun exercise and fitness can be through learning new ways to move and experimenting with different fitness styles. Once she found the gym, she established a love of challenging her body to excel and perform to a higher level through exercise. She brings this same attitude of positive discovery and sees fitness as a way for her and her clients to improve their lives in very growth-minded and meaningful ways.
Leina’s training specializes in functionality and has helped previous clients to lose weight, gain strength, and increase their flexibility in their sessions. Outside of the gym, Leina enjoys all things outdoors including climbing and hiking, cycling, and training her dogs. On the days she’s not out in the woods, she’s creating art like paper cutting, bullet journaling or reading the latest fiction series of books. Her passion is finding new ways to help herself and others feel and be positive in this slightly crazy world.
Fun fact: Leina’s previous experience in veterinary medicine led her to almost working with the notorious Carol Baskin, prior to Netflix’s release of “Tiger King”!
